First of all, there was no conservative in the race after Thompson dropped out.

Second, No one here is buying the media talking points about “Thompson’s heart not being in it.” so sell that BS somewhere else.

Third, Romney (AKA) the self proclaimed defender of Roe v. Wade and Gay rights, Mr. “I’m not advocating a return to Reagan, Bush.” never had a chance. Those who bought in to the slick hair and multi-million dollar ad campaign instead of falling in line behind an actual conservative, now have only themselves to blame.

Put that in your pipe and smoke it.

I could not agree more. Some here seem to have a real disconnect going between the actual meaning of conservatism and the lip service candidates offer as they try to use us as their steps to the White House. All we asked for was a candidate who espoused traditional conservative principles and devotion to our constitution AND had a record to prove it.

Most conservatives don't expect perfection, just a good reason to believe the person we nominate will still be who he says he is after we elect him and someone who will give us a chance to hold on to and hopefully advance conservatism during his administration. If that's asking too much, we might as well turn out the lights here and go join DU.
