It is my understanding that New York City has four major parties: the Democratic Party; the Republican Party; the Liberal Party; and the Conservative Party.
In 1965, Buckley ran as the standard-bearer of the Conservative Party, in opposition to the (very liberal--not moderate) John Lindsay.
He’s your model for supporting Romney??
Yes, I believe that the late Mr. Buckley serves as an exemplary model.
He was, in my opinion, the very apotheosis of modern conservatism...
I did a lot of research on how Romney governed in MA. I also did a lot of research on Newt's record as Speaker of the House. There is still plenty of time to study the records of these two men.
So far, the Romney CONS are enormous. Some of the things I learned about him really stunned me. I may have to add another sheet. I prayed about how to make the right decision without being swayed wrongly by outside influence.
This exercise has cleared my thought process. I am not going to vote for Romney. Integrity is a big issue with me. I am, and always will be a Conservative. I love my country and I needed to give some serious time, prayer and clear thought to this election.
Newt is my choice.
Romney is very liberal, not moderate
