As you know, I have no use for the guy, and if he runs again, which seems likely, he won't be getting my support. But to think you can't be conservative and support the guy is simply not true.
BTW, Hunter/Pence 2012.
For me you articulate the whole of it very well.
I told you last year, you lost any credibility with me when you kept consistently attacking the #1 candidate supported by this forum and his supporters -— Fred and the FredHeads. Jim even gave you a time out or two for your mindless efforts along those lines. Those on the right who chose to back Giuliani, Romney or Paul were traitors to the conservative cause. Sell-outs! This poster you took to defend, is a liberal troll. Nuff said.
>>Cmon, Reagan Man, there are a plenty of Romney fans here that are pretty darn conservative. I think the reason why they support Romney, is that they are willing to believe that his road to Des Moines conversion on myriad topics is genuine. And, generally speaking, they believe his spin on his record that he governed conservatively. I can’t claim to know Romney’s true thoughts, but I guess that a legit conversion is a possibility.

For me there is a middle ground - I can accept and support people in their endeavors to do good things even if I’d never think of them as a good candidate for President. Heck, that’s how I live with Saxby Chambliss as my senator without slitting my wrists.
So I’m glad to see Governor Romney’s work on the card check and glad to see him speaking for conservative financial positions. I cut him some slack on his positions as governor, like I do Arnold, given the state he governed.
I’m never gonna support him for President and I hope Freep doesn’t but I don’t see the point in a whole lot of fight about him in the off season.
