You unite behind Romney. I’ll find a conservative to support—even if he’s not in the GOP.”

If you had read my whole post, you would know that I said “if we want to influence the GOP nomination” then we should support Romney.

You are obviously willing to go outside of the GOP, which is fine. Don’t let the door hit you on the way out. My post was directed to those who want to work in the GOP.

If you want to debate the relative conservative merits of the only candidates that have a chance to get the GOP nomination, namely, Huckabee, McCain, and Romney, then bring it on.

Hey, I'm not married to the GOP. When they're conservative, I'm happy to support them. When they go liberal, I look somewhere else. My preference is to support them, but I'm not going to work, donate, and write in favor of a liberal. And I'm not going to convince myself that some liberal opportunist like Flip Romney is a conservative just so I can support him.

Last time I checked, FR is a conservative forum, not a Republican one. If that changes, and JR decides that opinions like mine are not wanted, I will bow to his wishes.
