WTF was he talking about?

Mark Levin, whom I don’t know personally, is an activist. He actually gets involved. And that means picking an actual person in the race and backing him.
Look who Romney was running against. Would you have Levin support McCain? He knew what would happen if McCain got the nod. He’s smart that way.
It’s not fair to judge Mark’s choice of Romney vs. an “ideal” conservative. It’s only fair to judge Mark’s pick vs. those who were in the race at the time. Besides RINO Romney and McPain I can’t even remember now who was still in the race then. Newt? Please. Huck? No way. Was Duncan Hunter still in the race? Nobody short of FReepers and his immediate family knew who the heck he was. He couldn’t win period.
That is why IMO a do-something-concrete-guy like Mark Levin chose Romney and gave it his best shot. I don’t fault him for that. That’s politics.
Your list of RINO Romney failings is accurate. I don’t fault that either. But Mark isn’t a lesser conservative because he tried to sell the sizzle of a RINO. That’s politics, too. Because you can only choose from the menu placed before you. You can’t go to another restaurant or order something special from the kitchen.
Your choices are limited. You fight for what you choose. That’s what Mark did in January of 2008. He was right about McCain losing. He might have been right about Romney beating 0b0z0, we’ll never know.
He might be right about Palin. Oops... you wouldn’t like that much, would you? ;0)

WTF was he talking about? So it looks you use the criteria above to determine who is - or isn't, conservative. When discussing Sarah Palin, one would have to say "YEP" to all of the above.
Yes, yes, I know. You have a strong opinion that she believes in "amnesty." Using the common definition of "amnesty," Sarah Palin does not believe in allowing a blanket pardon of all illegal immigrants currently in this country. She's on record however, as supporting a path to citizenship. BFD.
