Romney supporters as represented ...

So in other words, you vow to reject anybody who moves to the right because .... ???? .... because you demand everyone be pure conservatives from the day of birth???

Wake up. Many conservatives in the world today were once less conservative .... and in fact many were Democrats.

This conservative movement will die of atrophy if we never allow converts or if we never allow people who were once more liberal.

Sorry, your post doesn't make any sense in the context of what I've been saying.

In any case, Romney is hardly convicing in his claims to being a convert. I listen to and read his actual words, and the things he proposes are hardly a move to the right.

So in other words, you vow to reject anybody who moves to the right because .... ???? .... because you demand everyone be pure conservatives from the day of birth???

You are exceedingly obtuse if you think that's what I've been saying.

Here is a copy of the post you respond to here:

[Edit 35 writes:] "More delusion from people like you who wake up and breath simply to hate someone.... someone in the GOP for heavens sake....Those who so viciously hated and destroyed Romney in 2008 gave us McCain .... "

All Republicans and conservatives need to look long and hard at these words by Edit35. Sadly, Edit is not the exception -- he is the rule in representing the mindset of many pro-Romney people on Free Republic. Edit and like-minded Romney supporters dismiss valid objections to Romney, and dismiss civil debate about those objections, by attributing them to motives of "hate."

The word "hate" is one universally used by children, Liberals, and Romney supporters as an emotional manipulation tactic to disarm and put on the defensive those who basically say "no" to them, and to award themselves with the status of the "poor victim" of said hate. Use of the word "hate" automatically disqualifies them as reasonable adversaries or even allies.

Romney's politics aside -- as if the actual words of Romney (please ponder my post 420 on this thread, quoting from about 18 minutes of his CPAC speech) weren't enough to make it obvious that Romney is philosophically empty of conservative principle -- the mindset and mentality of the majority of Romney supporters as represented on Free Republic would be enough to warn any thinking person away from Romney.

Your response: "So in other words, you vow to reject anybody who moves to the right because .... ???? .... because you demand everyone be pure conservatives from the day of birth??? Wake up. Many conservatives in the world today were once less conservative .... and in fact many were Democrats. This conservative movement will die of atrophy if we never allow converts or if we never allow people who were once more liberal.

Huh? What on earth does that have to do with what I wrote? It's like introducing the subject of bananas into a discussion about nuclear physics.

You don't make any sense.
