Nod. I’m with you. I chose to support Huckabee, but there’s something about Free Republic where people have to pretend to themselves that they are supporting the “one true conservative” . . . the same maroons that were slamming Romney when they were for Fred are now slamming Huckabee now that they are for Romney. Personally, I consider Romney the least conservative and least reliable man in the race. Don’t know if you saw this yesterday but it’s a good read:

That would be because Huckabee isn't conservative. See how it works? I'm not voting for Romney, but I can tell you that Romney is more conservative than Huckster, in my opinion. That doesn't make Romney a "good" conservative, or "conservative enough," but he's better than Huckabee.

I've read a number of your posts on this thread. You certainly seem to think that your opinion on the candidates is the final word. You call FReepers "maroons." I think that you might be the "maroon," especially since you support Huckabee.

Maybe that’s because on the issues the conservative pecking order goes like this in the minds of most people here:

* Thompson
* Romney
* Huckabee or McCain - who knows.

Doesn’t mean anyone is a “maroon.”
