Um, right.
Back in ‘12 I remember most Freepers opposing Romney, but many saying that they would hold their noses to vote for him as the nominee. I don’t remember any who supported him in the primary (and there weren’t many) doing so on ideological grounds; the arguments (iirc) were based on electability.
I DO remember lots of fights between Freepers over their preferred Conservative candidate, and which one was the true Conservative deserving of support. If thats the work of syncophants, I’d really like to know who the spoiler candidates were who run by the GOPe to split Conservatives and give Romney the nomination. Gingrich? Santorum? Herman Cain?
The truth is that we Conservatives keep shooting ourselves in the feet by not getting to a common candidate early in the primaries. Until we understand that, instead of blaming the nomination of a Romney or a McCain on shadowy GOPe operatives who we just know are lurking out there trying to disrupt us, we’re going to end up with nominees we really don’t like, but most assuredly deserve.
Sycophants kept the pot boiling. Go back and reread some of those threads. The result was chaos. They are doing the same routine 2 years ahead of schedule. Verbatim.
Dude. If Romney had been “electable”, he WOULD HAVE BEEN ELECTED!
End of story. He wasn’t...and he wasn’t.
You can also see by this thread how much vitriol conservatives can heap on their own ideological allies. It doesn’t bode well for our political future.
