No, I’m not a RINO - I can compromise just a little when so much is on the table.
You seem to have avoided the question - just like Democrats and RINO’s.
Who are the possible POTUS candidates that are acceptable to the pure conservative types like you? If there are none at this time, we are screwed.
All I’m saying is that the time is now, conservatives have got to pick someone and build to a nomination of that person. Or be on the outside looking in in 2012 once again.
I’ll wait until someone suitable throws his hat into the ring. If none do, then we’ll have to shift gears into a draft mode. The suitable candidate will probably be a successful governor with a proven conservative pro-life, pro-liberty, pro-small government record. That automatically rules out RINOs Gingrich, Rudy and Romney and all socialists, abortionists, gun-grabbers, homosexualists, TARP supporters, amnesty pushers, health insurance pushers, nationalized education pushers, global warming pushers, financial panic pushers, tax and spenders, liars, cowards, cheaters, two-faced turncoats, traitors, slippery politicians, etc, etc, etc.
Mitt Romney fits almost all of my noes!

Compromise is what has gotten us in this mess in the first place. The time for “compromise” is OVER.
If supporting Romney required "just a little" in the way of compromise, I bet this thread wouldn't be as long as it is or that Jim Robinson would have started it.
Here's the deal: supporting Romney requires so much compromising on the part of conservatives that it makes the whole thing moot. Some of us conservatives actually pay attention to the details of what Romney says. Here's a doozie from his PAC speech regarding cap and trade and how any plan must be worldwide in scope: "Let's have a worldwide solution, not an American one." In other words, roll over, America, and allow the hoax that is "global warming" to enable a globally-endorsed power grab of energy production and use and distribution. That, FRiend, is the antithesis of free markets, self-determination, and independence; in short, it is the antithesis of American conservatism.
Romney doesn't require "a little compromise" on the part of conservatives, he requires wholesale abandoment of basic conservative principle. THAT is why he must be rejected, and why rejecting him is necessarily part of the process conservatives must engage in NOW in order to allow the rise of a real conservative who will most certaintly require "a little compromise" instead of abandonment of principle.
