75% of FReepers supported Romney right before he dropped out. IOW, he has passed the most conservative litmus test there is. Sure it was their third choice, but anyone who can get a clear majority of FReeper support isn't nearly as bad as you portray him to be.
Mitt's bronze star finish (Fred Gold, Hunter Silver) on FR is something he can brag about.
Analysis of actual voters showed that the majority of conservatives (not moderate or liberal republicans) voted for Romney in actual vote counts. The analysis was posted here on FR and it is one of the times Rush plugged FR on his live show when he discussed the analysis. Rush also said that the best thing to come out of the Republican Primaries was the Faith in America Speech, that Mitt wrote himself.
So anyway, why don't you ask yourself what it is the majority of Conservatives understand about Mitt Romney that you are mising.
We know there are plenty of liberals posting on FR. There was a time when 60% of FReepers said they'd vote for the liberal Rudy Giuliani, if he became the GOP nominee. We know how that turned out.
After conservatives Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter dropped out of the race, the handwriting was on the wall. Romney's campaign was over as well. The votes he received in one late season FR Poll were meaningless. When the FR Poll had real meaning, Romney was never a factor. Truth is, Willard never had serious support inside or outside of FR.
Obviously, you're still infatuated with Willard the Myth's style over substance campaign. A campaign based on political expediency, not conservative principle. Romney remains a fraud and a phony.
