While sound in theory, in reality, it is how we got into this mess. Oooh, support your candidate. Sorry, I don’t work that way, I support my cause, and the candidate can campaign for my support. I’m tired of playing the hold my nose game. If Romney wants my vote, he can earn it. He can repudiate all that he has done wrong, he can go after the liberals again and again on these mindless expansions of government. He can repudiate his own words during a Republican presidential debate where he put forth the concept that the government is the answer, not the problem.
He won’t do that, so I’ll attack him like I attack Obama, Pelosi and the rest of the liberal clown squad. He gets no special exemption because he might be a part time conservative - though I’ve yet to actually hear a conservative opinion come from his lips.
If you are one of his supporters, then good luck to you. Expect to find me and hundreds of others trashing your candidate over and over again, using his own positions, his own actions and his own words.
Myself, I’ll stand against anyone, like Obama, like Pelosi, like Romney, who thinks that Momma Government can treat all our ills, because we’re too stupid to do it ourselves.

I will support (campaign for, contribute to, vote for) the candidate that best represents my views and has proven that they can ably promote those views. I can’t change reality, I can only vote for the candidates on the ballot that I think most closely represent my views.
I am not a “supporter” of Romni but did vote for him in the primary because I felt he was the best of a weak group. I was originally interested in Huchabee but the more I saw of him the more he troubled me. Thompson had a lot of supporters here and his views did more closely represent mine but his lack of executive experience and his complete collapse during “Chinagate” made me doubt that he was up to the job.
Sarah Palin has to demonstrate that she is up to the job (her resigning didn’t help), if she thinks she’s had it tough so far will she stand up to what President Bush did for eight years.
