My biggest complaint with the stunning intellectual dishonesty of the ABO brigade is their persistent mewling and barking that: "Well, it's okay if Mitt's really a hardcore liberal on virtually every last social issues known to man, because Congress will absolutely, positively hold his darned feet to the fire, by God and by damn!"

This, of course, is nothing more than reconstituted horse crap, and everyone with an I.Q. higher than their resting pulse rate knows it. As Erick Erickson pointed out, earlier today:

"[...]we’ve seen this play out before. Once George Bush was elected, we had to keep the fragile coalition together. Then it was the war. Then it was re-election. We got to TARP and the GM bailout and people were still yelling that we could not criticize the Bush Administration lest we help Barack Obama.

"These supporters are enablers of the $16 trillion debt we presently have. If we cannot vocally and forcefully hold Mitt Romney accountable now, there will be a new excuse after the election for why we cannot hold him accountable, just as there always has been up to $16 trillion."

Republicans in Congress never, ever, EVER hold the feet of their party's President "to the fire" on ANY issue of importance to movement conservatives. We have eight years of GWB, amply serving an inarguable demonstration of that.

They lie.

Unhesitatingly, and directly to your face: they lie.

For me, the bottom line with the ABOers is simple. In real life, if a person we knew called themselves a devout christian and spent every weekend coked up at the strip joint, we would likely distance ourselves from that person.

If we knew someone who led the local scout troop, volunteered at the old folks home and cooked at soup kitchens for the homeless... then spent their time online at Stormfront railing on Blacks and Jews, we would likely distance ourselves from that person, if not end ties permanently.

Why? Because they put on (Bill) airs of being one thing, when their actions prove to be something else entirely.

When an ABOer comes on here/other sites claiming how mouch they love/fear for America and then go and actively campaign for a man who represents by his very record, the polar opposite of everything that person claims to believe, they are either lying about what they believe or they are intentionally showing by their actions that their beliefs meant nothing to them.

There is no other option. They can bitch and scream till the cows come home, but it’’s reality. And it is also reality that such people are the reason the left has and maintains power. Because rather than standing for what is right, they capitulate everything.

So IMO, there is no ‘America’ for them to fight for. By their actions, they gave up on America with thir support for a man whose actions stand against what ‘America’ itself stands for.

Such people disgust me with false patriotism. Because I defy one of them to attempt to define abortion/homosexual marriage/homo-military/mandates/gun control et all as ‘patriotic’.

They may as well be coked up in the strip joint on Saturday night and preaching mass Sunday morning. Same BS, different BSer.
