LOL. Yah. Everybody that votes for a Republican in Arkansas is an idiot! You guys are outdoing yourselves today with nonsense.
I’ll make this simple. We have 3 nominees. All have problems for conservatives. The group think in here trying to pretend Romney is conservative is ridiculous.
Correction: Everyone... in Arkansas is an idiot.
And no, I’m not a Romney shill or a Dem troll. Not a single one in the lot deserves the Presidency but one of them is unfortunately going to earn it.
I agree about Romney, but the trouble is that none of the remaining 3 is conservative on most issues.
McCain is great on military matters, pork-busting ... but he rejected tax cuts (and explained at the time that he did so because he didn’t want to help the rich, who are the ones paying the lions share OF income taxes), mucked around on federal judicial appointments, has totally drunk the Gore-Bal Warming kool-aid, opposes “torture” no matter what the stakes, and, of course, is THE poster-boy for “It’s Not ‘Amnesty’ Because They Have To Pay $2000.”
Romney, as you noted, has flopped all over the place, and recently, too. To his credit, on most issues (not all — guns, for example), he’s NOW saying largely the right things. But can his recent conversions be trusted?
Huckabee has most of the 9 problems outlined earlier in the thread. He’s not as bad fiscally as his worst critics charge, but ... well, it largely reminds me of a religious, anti-abortion, pro-gun Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s also done a lot of Romney-like “campaign conversions,” such as on illegals.
Oy.
