Ditto all of that. I could not vote for Mitt without feeling much worse than "not good" about it, but I will reluctantly do it if he's the candidate. But OTOH I will never vote for a RINO who is as liberal on social/moral issues as Rooty. However, unless all of us who feel that way unite behind one acceptable alternative to Rooty or Mitt our votes will be split among several hopeless candidates and either Rooty or Mitt WILL be the GOP nominee by a plurality of the vote.
Personally I would like to see Hunter win the nomination, but at this point his chances are nil and his poll numbers are stuck in the low single digits and not moving. It's now time to get behind the only candidate who can be called reasonably conservative and can actually win nomination. We must become realistic and admit that our favorites are not going to make the cut and solidify behind the only acceptable candidate who can defeat Rooty/Mitt, and it is now crystal clear, to me anyway, that that man is Fred Thompson.
Thompson would not be my first choice by any means if a more conservative candidate was realistically in the running. But he is acceptable, and "acceptable" appears to be as good as we can hope for this time around. Acceptable doesn't mean that I agree with everything he has done in the past or probably would do if elected, but I think any conservative would have to admit that Thompson is a far better choice than either Rooty or Mitt. There's also the real possibility that Thompson would pick Hunter for his VP, thereby consolidating the conservative vote and also setting him up to be the GOP presidential nominee after Thompson's term(s).
It's time for conservatives of all stripes to get realistic and get behind Thompson or we will be facing a choice between Hillary or Rooty, and IMHO that would guarantee that Hillary will be the next president.
