And of course Romney was not anything near Reagan.
The point is this Sir Random: I never supported Romney as he ran for the nomination. It took me a few weeks of wanting to hide when it was clear he was going to win. He was never my first, second or even third choice, but he won the nomination. Plus no one appointed him, he won. He wasn't forced on you as you claim, he won. He won because there was no conservative candidate who stepped up, he won because all the other candidates who ran had worse problems than he did. Sorry to pop your pickle, he won because you and I did not convince the GOP electorate that there was a better alternative.
Okay, once he won, what are we to do?
Let me see, there are now two candidates who can win.......we have on the one hand, a clearly destructive, clearly divisive, clearly America hating, clearly Marxist loving, clearly muzzie loving, clearly abortion loving, clearly gun control loving, clearly intent on ruining everything we love and stand for. It was what he had done already that proved what I just said, it wasn't even a suspicion, it was a fact.
And on the other hand we had a RINO squish, who none of us wanted, who none of us trusted.
Now, say all you want, but Romney ran on being pro-life, said he had changed in 2006 (yeah I know, a bit untrustworthy), but he never waivered on that change, hasn't come out (like Laura Bush) and said he was only fooling us, and continues to hold that stance.
He was clearly pro-capitalist, and like it or not he was the only truly anti-illigal immigration anti-amnesty canidate we had.
There are other things to say, but the point once again is we could have turned out to get rid of the destructive Marxist stain, to replace him with an untrustworthy squish. Squish or American destroyer, gosh what should a patriotic American do?
Okay, here it is, I know you sat home or didn't vote for Romney. I find that totally insane. You say you're a purist, but the latest Bambi gambit to put out the abortion pill for all to get near the candy is incomprehensible. Good God man, do you not understand how different that is than a squish?
Okay, I don't care to explain this to you any more, if you don't understand that not showing up to get rid of the destructive stain was a good principle to follow, and what every purist should have done, there is no help for your self righteous complaining about what Bambi is doing.
When I say Bambi won because of the "purists", it's true, and you all should be ashamed of yourselves for not showing up in droves to ged rid of the stain. You didn't because you couldn't get up the outrage to get rid of this horrid administion? Tha alone should have been enough, and that's what I mean when it was the "purists" fault, because it was, they (you and Norm and Ansel) didn't show up to do what should have been done.
I consider myself to be as conservative as you. Fully pro-life, pro-free enterprised, pro-border security, pro-Cruz, pro-Palin, and unlike Norm and Ansel (not sure about you, so far so good) don't like to come on here and lie to get my point across.
You may not agree, frankly I don't care, I don't really care to engage you anymore, but now I hope you know what I mean (and yes, I'm a Cruz loving conservative purist)what I did (and do) when I admonish the "purists". they should have risen up en masse to get rid of the stain, but they didn't.
Shame on all of them.
Romney won the nomination because of cheating by the GOP. Rules changes in the middle, Florida's delegates counting even though they were early.... there's a list.
The GOP pushed their liberal. He lost.
At this point, unless someone is like Cruz, I'll be voting anti-GOP all the way.
Your liberal squish lost. Bottom line.

Who wouldn’t vote for Reagan, a great pro-life presidential candidate in 1980, a life-long pro-lifer, just as Romney is a life-long pro-abortion guy.
Romney spent at least 5 years trying to create a myth that Reagan, who Romney despised and didn’t vote for, was “adamantly pro-choice”, Romney even left the GOP in 1979, and eventually became a democrat supporter and fund raiser.
Purists voted for lifelong pro-lifer Reagan, Romney ran against the republican party’s pro-life party platform as it’s 2012 presidential nominee, after being arguably the GOP’s most passionate, and sincere, and emotionally persuasive abortion promoter for many years.
