Thanks for pointing this out. Obama will crush Romney, so the point is moot if Santorum is not nominated. But those on this thread who actually think it will make a difference can fight three times as hard to support Romney in order to make up for those on this thread who are unwilling to go this route, if it means that much to them.
Santorum and Gingrich both had ACU ratings in the 80’s and/or low 90’s. In other words, they were consistently on the side of conservatism.
Romney, who doesn’t have a conservative bone in his body, had his superpac run ads against these conservatives that attacked their conservative lapses. In other words, Santorum & Gingrich were not perfectly pure conservative candidates, but they were destroyed by Romney, a liberal, who attacked their non-conservative moments.
And his attacks were repeated by sheeple in the media and in the communities and on the blogs (even FR) who couldn’t see beyond the end of their noses.
I will NOT allow a liberal to win in such a manner. I will work hard in my congressional district in bellwether Ohio to defeat Mitt Romney and elect whichever conservative is running 3rd party or alternative candidate.
