Yes, very true. I’ve said several times on this forum that, despite the fact that I hold Romney in very low regard, I probably will vote for him in the end. Still, if I say anything critical of him, or if I speak out against the ninnies who want to demonize conservatives as “Obama supporters”, well, they attack me as a “purist” or an Obama lover myself. It’s really a very stupid tactic, because it won’t motivate anyone to change their mind, and in fact the demonization tactics are more likely to turn people on the fence about voting for Romney off completely.
They remind me a bit of the Paultards, who managed to come off as less appealing than Ron Paul himself, which was no small feat.
BINGO.
But you can’t get around the fact that the most common reason for conservatives not to vote for Romney is pride.
“I always said I’ll never vote for Romney, so I better stick to it. Or else I might look foolish.”
Ironic how the kind of pride which most seeks to avoid looking foolish is also the kind born of foolishness itself.
