IMO at least a “part” of conservatism means defeating Obama in 2012.

I can’t believe (honestly) anyone would debate the previous sentence. For anyone who would, I can only say two things: 1. Talk about “sinking low”, and 2. This famous quote comes to mind when describing any such “arguments”: Oh what a complex web we weave, when we practice to deceive.

Because honestly, to me, it’s pure self deception (and convolution) to suggest the advancement of conservatism doesn’t at least involve the defeat of the Kenyan.

I honestly never thought 4 years ago that on FR of all places, it would actually be debatable whether or not “the defeat of Barak Hussein Obama at any cost” was a true goal of conservatism.

ME (verbatim): Once you've finally managed to define "conservative" downwards to the point where all it means -- literally, the ONLY thing it still means -- is "Not Obama": then you're no longer part of any coherent, principled or intellectually defensible political ideology.

DISHONEST RESPONSE (verbatim): "IMO at least a “part” of conservatism means defeating Obama in 2012. I can’t believe (honestly) anyone would debate the previous sentence."

Nothing in what I stated -- plainly and unambiguously -- is even remotely contradicted by your bald and inept reworking of same.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave,

When first we practise to deceive! (Correct quote), indeed.

No matter who wins this election, conservatism loses.

You do realize that this is a CONSERVATIVE website, don’t you? It is NOT a republican website. It is the GOP who is ‘sinking low’ by throwing us under the bus.

Four years ago this site was the best site available to learn the dark nightmare of Mitt Romney.

Post 3312 is just a hint of the details that FR knows about how radical and deceitful Mitt Romney is.

We put together masses of his pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, anti-gun, pro-liberal judges, anti-conservatism, anti- Reagan, pro-democrat politics and actions, fund raising, masses of such biography.
