Every “conservative” talk radio host I’ve heard during this primary season has been pushing Romney.

Every last stinking one of them, from top to bottom. Usually it’s subtle, below the surface but effective.

Why? Why are all of them pushing Romney when he is not representative of conservatism?

For some reason, they think Romney is the only one who’s “electable”. Why? I don’t know. When you look at Romney’s actions while governor, he’s basically BHO lite. It’s like they don’t want to vet him.

Newt’s getting hughly and seriesly misunderestimated. He’s the Contract With America guy. He can work with a part-Rat political situation and still get reasonable results. If Mitt were truly the “best we can do” I could see it, but he ain’t. Not even close.

The great one, Mark Levin, said on air that he supports Santorum.

Boortz has always been more libertarian - conservative.

Which still doesn’t explain how he ended up voting Romney.

Follow the money...

tip....Bain “needs” the executive office...and MUCH of the GOP-e is personally “invested” with them.

I do wonder about Boortz...he comes on strong but then he’s mushy when it counts. On one hand he said he wants to see Newt win, but he voted for Romney because he’s going to be the nominee so we need to coalesce around him.

Another example of his mushiness - during the Floriduh fiasco Boortz actually said GWB should let the thugs take it and we could come back stronger in four years.

My opinion: Because changing the "D" to an "R" will cause people to think "we did our part" and 'go back to sleep' without realizing that there is no real difference between Romney and Obama.

I posted yesterday that I was shocked to hear Jay Seckulow, from American Center for Law and Justice (the anti-ACLU) supporting Mitt. I couldn’t believe it. In the ad, he said that Mitt would nominate conservative justices to the USSC and even mentioned Bork.

I have no idea why any conservative would back Mitt. He’s poison to the conservative cause.

Conservatives got to where they are by standing up against liberalism.

Over time, they have latched onto the GOP and don't take a critical look at the GOP and push the part towards a conservative agenda and view. So they end being hypocrites, “My liberal Republican (Mittens) is better than your liberal Democrat (Obama).” They will spin and cover for their GOP liberal in elected power no matter what.

BECAUSE CONSERVATIVES ARE NOT THE MAJORITY IN AMERICA. This is not 1980. People who pay attention to poitics, not just to other conservatives, know this. It is what it is.

I think what it is, is that both “sides” left and right, are two halves of a club.

There’s a group of people, who control our government. Half call themselves democrats, half call themselves Republicans.

Neither side cares one bit about voters.

In fact their entire lives are built around keeping voters from messing up their gig.

Democrats have the (far) easier job. Their voters respond eagerly to conditioning. They’ve very easy to manipulate. Like children. Me me me.

Conservatives, not so much. Conservatives and Constitutional libertarians have brains, which makes it harder to control us. Which is what the establishment wants to do. It wants us to comply.

They believe Romney won’t mess things up for them.

I happen to believe they’re wrong.

Romney will be the one, who costs them their own voters.

That’s why you see Rove coming unglued.

He knows.
