OTOH, those of us who want Obama fired are going to have support Mitt and say nice things about him even if it means keeping our fingers crossed -- and by that I don't mean that we are lying, I mean that we are hoping that what we are saying (overturning Ocare, appointing sane judges etc) turns out to be true. I hope you can respect that.

I'm also concerned about too much Mitt bashing discouraging turnout for the down-ticket races. That is something we really can't afford.

This close to the election, a sane, smart, conservative web forum should be an optimistic, energized, cohesive beehive of grassroots political activity supporting GOP candidates up and down the ballot.

This is what FR has always been in previous elections since its founding.

But not this year.

And this is by deliberate decision. A small but committed and influential group of Mitt haters have decided that America will be best served by Obama's re-election.

In pursuing this agenda (which the overwhelming majority of conservatives nationwide find abhorrent) the FR He-Man Mitt Haters Club has succeeded in taking America's premier conservative news discussion forum right out of the game.

The DUmmies and the Obama campaign are laughing at us right now over this, as well they should be.

That's because the GOP has compromised to the point that NOW its current presidential canidate is anything BUT a conservative.

Finally you're right about something! They've succeeded in getting some here that call themselves "conservative" to defend a candidate that supports their progressive agenda!

I'll say this much for Mitt -- he's a bastard. He coldly eliminated every one of his competitors all without getting his hands bloody.

OK Mitt, you won.

So what what those of us who don't like Mitt should do is to be as supportive as we can to the true believers -- and yes there are conservatives who really like Mitt, I go to church with them, I go to Tea Party meetings with them -- and join them in firing 0, all the while doing our best to get the most conservative people elected down-ticket, and making sure that a President Romney would know he owes us.

What we can't do is get down, get negative and quit.
