You’re right. Most Romney supporters like myself ARE compromising some of our conservative values.
***Very, very interesting admission. Thanks for being candid and honest.
We did the same thing when we elected Bush the Elder. (not that I was happy with GHWB). We (I) do the same thing each and every time I vote for almost every lower candidate from US Senate to House to State Rep. to local councilman.
***AHEM. This is NOT the ELECTION. THIS IS THE PRIMARIES. You don’t compromise during the primaries, you compromise during the election. You got the cart before the horse. You really do.
VERY FEW are rock ribbed take-no-prisoners conservatives.
***Hunter is. This is the Primaries. Compromising is for the election. Thanks for your implicit endorsement of Hunter. Can we count on your vote?
If THAT is the absolute criteria for support, we all might just as well just never vote or get involved in politics at all.
***It should be, for the primaries.
Can you name me three other candidates outside of Duncan Hunter whom you view as acceptable.
***I’ll answer your question if you answer my hypotheticals I posted in the article.
Compromise is compromise.
It's like being a little pregnant. It can't be.
After all, why is it OK to compromise your principals during the general, but not OK during the primary?
Tell you what. I will promise to vote for Duncan Hunter in Pennsylvania if you promise to vote for Mitt Romney if Hunter has dropped out by time of the primary in your state.
So, can you name me three rock-ribbed "acceptable" conservatives you have voted for, either local, state, or federal?
