Good rant, neverdem. It’s not often that you rant. Great thread. I agree with SunkenCiv, GrampaDave and other like-minded posters.
Romney was my 3rd choice after Hunter and Thompson (Hunter in the Michigan primary, my wife voted Romney...she also likes Guliani).
Thanks to all posters.
Hopefully, we might see a Romney/Thompson slate.
Regardless, I will vote for Mitt.
I don’t understand why some of us swoon over a candidate’s list of conservatism when that candidate can’t fire up voters and financial support. A lot of us could have a great list of conservatism and would be lucky if our family members and a few friends voted for us. We need candidates who fire up a lot of voters and financial backers to win elections. Why participate in elections if you don’t want to win and want the other party to win to teach the rest of us a lesson.
Too many of us latch onto a good guy, who couldn’t win an election for dog catcher because of his conservative dream list. Then, we stab other Republicans in the back because our dream boy was just that, a dream.
