You can remain as obstinate as you want, but it remains true that people like yourself are responsible for nominating McCain .... and thus the terrible situation the GOP/conservatives find ourselves.
Romney was by far the strongest and yes, most conservative and articulate, of the Republican presidential candidates in 2008.
Which is why Romney was supported by 90% of the thinking ultra conservatives in America, like Rick Santorum, Paul Weyrich, Levin, Hewitt, Ann Coulter, Bob Jones III, James Dobson, even Limbaugh supported Romney although he stuck to his vow not to endorse.
I truly believe the wing of conservatism represented here on FR was responsible for destroying Romney from within the party, and thus became a willing dupe for the Democrats.
On every issue, Romney was to the right of McCain....
Immigration, judges, taxes, (McCain voted no on the Bush tax cuts), school choice, ... and a half dozen others I cant recall cause Im so tired of writing them over and over.
Im still ticked. McCain had absolutely NO BUSINESS even running for pres, at 72 y.o. with recurring cancer and a nasal irritating voice, boring as all get out, and an enemy of the faith based Christians, like myself.
Great, McCain was a valiant POW. He deserves a military medal, NOT the presidency. He was ALWAYS an enemy of the CHRIstian right. ALWAYS.
McCain is the one who destroyed the GOP, by simply teaming up with Hucklebee to destroy Romney.
That is incredible!
We conservative on FR are terrible for following the truth about Romney.
It would have been some much better if we simply bought the hype you and your fellow Mittwitts pimped here endlessly.
“Most Conservative” yes sir I'll bye that!
In a pigs eye.
And Wyrich withdrew his support, look it up...
And you are still over playing the Rush bit...
Ignoring that Romney admits he ran to the "left of Kennedy" and that he imposed
socialized medicine, increased taxes, gay marriage,
BIG=DIG coverup, and GOP devastation.
Romney is the "virus" that made the GOP lose because he is a jealous and bad loser.

“I truly believe the wing of conservatism represented here on FR was responsible for destroying Romney from within the party”
I disagree. The wing of conservatism represented on FR is the same one espoused by the people you mentioned (Rick Santorum, Paul Weyrich, Levin, Hewitt, Ann Coulter, Bob Jones III, James Dobson). And they all supported Romney.
There was a poll taken here a day before Super Tuesday and Romney won with 75% of the votes. He is presently the most viable conservative candidate. The candidates standing to his right could not manage to win even a single primary.
Romney’s challenge now is to win over the idiots who nominated McCain. You won’t find many of those around here.
