I don’t get the anti-Mormon thing. I love them to pieces - best people on the planet in my opinion. My issue with Romney is his desperation for the office.
Churchill and Reagan were conservatives when it wasn’t popular to be conservatives, and took positions that made them distinctly unpopular at the time.
Circumstances inflicted upon us by leftists made both men inevitable choices. We certainly are in a similar situation, wherein a kook leftist president and crew are bringing the country to the brink of ruin.
The right and the center will not settle for half-measures in either 2010 or 2012, but hopefully this time there will be a more thorough examination of actions than the conservative platitudes these future candidates will speak.
Moderates and leftist (essentially, appropriators) wrap themselves in red, take up the elephant, and start reading from the platform. Snowe, Collins, Jeffords, and sadly, Romney.
We vote for them, they get elected, and revert to their record. It’s got to stop this time.
“That’s what it takes to put an R in that seat!,” says Steele. Look, however, at the situation those states are in. Romney put some of the biggest nails in MA’s coffin. Schwartzenegger bailed on being a conservative as soon as the job got tough, and it looked like he was going to lose his seat.
Had he actually STUCK to the principles that got him elected in the first place, lost the last election, and waited out the destruction Obama’s carrying out, birthers might be singing a different tune for 2010.
You can’t recover your credibility once its gone. Gingrich is the latest example of that time-tested lesson.
LOL! You can barely claim that feat, "old-timer".
