When I saw Kristol on Fox in the primary, he was not supporting Romney. So he didn’t flip-flop. He was one of the few I saw who did not like any of the primary candidates. If I recall correctly he was pulling for Chris Christie or Jeb Bush to enter the race. So, yeah, Kristol’s squishy on conservatism, but I think he’s been intellectually honest about where he stands.
I think the effete elites are petrified that conservative values will carry the day. If that happens then there is no more reason to support RINO BS.
It shows how 'objective' he is.

Yes, and in 2008 Kristol was pushing for McCain. Kristol is honest and sometimes on target (eg he also has been a Palin fan AFAIK), but sometimes way off. Kristol is honest, but a neo-con and semi-con at times.
In this case, he’s not actually wrong, they were poorly worded statements, but Kristol’s comments are really unhelpful and the focus is a typical media pack hunt mentality. Focus on this while ignoring Obama saying worse than that this past week.
