Exhibiting zero respect for the dignity and privacy of a family that has problems that YOU, edit35, could very well have yourself -- there but for the grace of God. Ronald Reagan's own kids had serious problems, though no doubt YOU are the perfect parent, yes???? But you are certainly nasty and ugly and petty enough to bring the sins and transgressions of a candidate's teenage kid, in private family life, into political converstation, like SNL's Church Lady. Just the kind of mentality we want to see dominate politics -- NOT!!!!
Again, the behavior of a Romney supporter speaking volumes about Romney and why he is such bad news for the GOP and America.
Never said Romney was the perfect conservative, or the perfect Republican, or the perfect anything.
It's just that he was the strongest, most articulate, most able to speak the conservative message out of ALL the Republican candidates in '08.
If there was someone out there better, I'd have been there.
A reasoned conservative could see that McCain was feeble and boring and anti-everything (except proLife) that I believe in.
Fred didn't want it. Never did.
Rudy .... is a nice guy who is waaay to left on everything.
Hucklebee is a cool speaker but would have been eaten for lunch as a Baptist evangelical preacher .... which is fine with me but turns off too many in American politics.
Duncan Hunter .... strong as an ox... but doesn't have the personality to be a viable candidate.
I forget the others, but suffice it to say that Romney was the only one with a snowballs chance who could speak to both conservatives ... and the middle.... and women... and some youth.... which is exactly what it takes to win.
