If conservatives accede to Romney's nomination, then all we will do is send a message to the GOP-E that we're not really serious about conservative principles, and that should there ever be a conservative upstart candidate again, then we will go right along with the personal destruction of that candidate, and all of the underhanded skullduggery that goes with it, that we saw on display in this primary season.

Further, a Romney presidency may even be WORSE than a second Obama term. At least with Obama in office, the Republicans have grown a little bit of a spinelet and fought him on some things, and really have served to hinder a lot of what Obama *could* have done. With Romney in office, it'll be 2000-2006 all over again - they will go right along with everything Romney proposes (which won't differ in substance, if only somewhat in degree), since he's "our" President. We could actually end up even DEEPER in socialism, debt, and trouble by the end of it all than with Obama.

Excellent post, YC. Romney won’t win. However, if it were to happen, he’d be a liberal big spender, an appointer of liberal justices, and a political hack who would force the dead carcass of obamacare onto the nation.

I admit that I thought it was not wise when people were speaking this way about a McCain nomination 4 years ago. But I am now of the same mind as Yashcheritsiy.

I oppose Romney now. I support Santorum. I plan to continue along this path. We do not currently have a nominee, so I do not need to formally re-evaluate my position at this time.

You mean like Obamacare, increasing the debt, the New Black Panthers, Fast and Furious, the Muslim Brotherhood, the moratorium on drilling? Yeah, he’s really been hindered. There is NO ONE worse than Obama.
