I am already not planning to renew my NR subscription, and I have had it for many years. In terms of true conservatism, it is becoming a pointless magazine. The Romney cheerleading and endorsement are two cases in point. I can read Mark Steyn online, and if I feel the need to check out NR, I will do it at the library for free.
Actually, their endorsement is looking pretty good right now. the NRTL threw their endorsement away on Thompson because he was “the most electable”, and he couldn’t even take 2nd place in either of the states he staked his campaign on.
Others endorsed other candidates who never made it anywhere. But Romney could still win the nomination, and be a solid conservative spokesperson who will win election and guide our country in a conservative direction.
Put away the fear. Restore your faith, if not in a person, in the large number of people who are trustworthy and have been long advocates for our cause who have spoken personally with Romney, have thought long and hard, and decided that Romney CAN be trusted.
Or, you could believe a few Freeper posters who have no such direct knowledge. At this point, that’s what it comes down to, who do you trust.
Do you trust McCain to NOT do what he promises, or Romney to do what he promises.
Do you trust Leiberman and the New York Times? OR do you trust Mark Levin, and Jim DeMint?
I spoken to people I trust, who have had direct contact with Romney, and they tell me he is solidly on our side. Why should I trust some freeper I don’t know, over the direct personal testimony of someone I know and trust?
You hope... given McCain's, Hillary's and Obama's track record on the 1A and other related Fairness Doctrine issues, who knows what will happen....
