Sorry, met, but this time I don't buy it.
Romney is not some variety of "less pure" conservative. He is not any kind of conservative at all. So, it isn't a matter of "purity". It's a matter of different ideology altogether. He is a liberal. I am a conservative. I will not support him. Ever.
Didn’t we pretty much go through this same scenario in 1999/2000 with W? We knew Bush was no conservative, but when push came to shove it was either Bush or Gore and we went with Bush.
