The personal experience is that I came to realize my past belief that Republican = Conservative was rank naivete. I am a Conservative first and foremost. I know advancing liberalism in the Republican party is not only a recipe for disaster, it is a death sentence. In a matter of only 15 years, it can reduce a state from competitive for the party to absolutely moribundity.
Again, if you don’t believe Romney is a liar or a fraud or a rank opportunist with questionable character, just check the record. If you don’t believe this man has been buying off people to win their support despite his unmistakeable record of liberalism, just take a closer look and follow the money. I don’t like liars. I especially don’t like fraudulent liberals telling me they’re Conservatives and I don’t like their paid lackeys spewing bullcrap wherever they go deceiving people into believing this guy can walk on water.
If somebody you previously trusted or believed in turned out to be a con man and was trying to buy the highest office in the land, would you be sitting idly by and allowing others to spew lies championing his cause and deceiving those that don’t know much about him (beyond seeing him on tv) into supporting him, knowing what you know (which isn’t much of a secret), or would you be telling everyone within earshot that he is a destructive phony as loudly as possible ?
What would you do ?

I am disgusted that a sleazy “tell-them-what-they-want-to-hear” professional politician who seems to be emulating the Bill Clinton campaign playbook is not only edging out truly conservative candidates but has snowed members here I KNOW would drop him like the slimy organ part he is if they just perceived it.
Neither Romney or Huckabee are conservatives...just more of the same old same old. One appeals to stupid people who elect the “pretty mealy-mouthed” while the other attracts the “compassionate religious” - down the same path the Catholic Church has taken that puts invaders’ non-existent rights over native citizens. Neither of these guys are worth the calories expended to vote for them while REAL Americans motivated by their love of our country remain in the running.
That be Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson.
