Was Bush a conservative?
I frankly don’t care that Romney is a liberal RINO and not a conservative. He’s running for president of the USA, not the ACU.
I was very ideological in college. I guess I outgrew all that.
Anyways, the success of conservatism in America isn’t going to depend on who the President is, on any one man. Conservatism depends on each individual. We are individualists, not collectivists.
Thank you for your honesty, sir. You just exposed your agenda.
Gotcha!
From a conservative perspective, Mitt is not a conservative. Period. His support around FR is weak. Against two staunch conservatives, roughly 86% of FReepers do not support him. That matters to me. I don't want someone running for POTUS who will not promote my conservative values, beliefs, convictions and principles.

One man made a difference for America and for conservatism. You need a good dose of Ronald Reagan:
“We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all.”
~~~ Ronald Reagan, 1965
“Join me in a dream of a California whose government isn't characterized by political hacks and cronies and relatives--an administration that doesn't make its decisions based on political expediency but on moral truth. Together, let us find men to match our mountains.”
~~~ Ronald Reagan, 1966
“A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.
I do not believe I have proposed anything that is contrary to what has been considered Republican principle. It is at the same time the very basis of conservatism. It is time to reassert that principle and raise it to full view. And if there are those who cannot subscribe to these principles, then let them go their way.”
~~~ Ronald Reagan, March 1, 1975

***Are you sure you are a fan of Romney? Maybe you didn’t get the latest list of talking points, that he doesn’t want it KNOWN that he’s a liberal RINO? How does this further Romney in anyone’s eyes here on Free Republic?

Interesting...
You're joking right? As Roger Hedgecock would say, YIKES!
“Anyways, the success of conservatism in America isn’t going to depend on who the President is, on any one man. Conservatism depends on each individual. We are individualists, not collectivists.”
You don’t think having an open borders President for 8 years
makes a difference?
