Well how about that...
LL, in one simple, some what out of the way sentence you have summed up the entire issue with Mitt, and his supporters, and have answered the question of why those who assume to wear the guise of Conservatives seem to support him...
Yes, who are "we" to pass judgment on a politician as great as Mitt Romney.
"We", the "we" you refer to, are the same "we" that the founding fathers referred to over 200 years age. We are "The People", the people that Mitt wants to SERVE, not be served by.
That such a concept has escaped you, and other Romney folks as it appears it has, explains much.
Forgetting or glossing over the Constitution and other founding documents and their significance, and worse perhaps tossing them aside, is what the "other side" does.
So perhaps you, and your fellow Romney supporters (and any others) understand why we, the "inmates" approach with at least some contempt your efforts.
This "we", the 20-30% of "The People" remember where we came from and how we got to be the greatest nation on Earth. We will be the ones, the carriers of the torch on the life raft that shall remain just off shore, awaiting the day when the rest of "the people" wake up, and if it is possible, and God in his Heaven knows I pray it to be so, we will be able to reignite the fire started over two centuries ago.
Oh, blah, blah, blah. Go ahead and wrap yourself in the flag. Political freedom means one can disagree on politics. One can even decide, without any evidence and in lieu of backing up your political judgment with facts, that your opponent is a “worthless POS.” But that’s a stupid way to arrive at political judgments, and a stupid way to argue.
And, in a free country, one can point out that stupidity.
“This “we”, the 20-30% of “The People” remember where we came from and how we got to be the greatest nation on Earth.

Since you are waiting, I hear there is a ranch in Guyana still available at a good price.
Now, that’s funny.
Well said, E. “we the people” are qualified to judge Mitt’s fitness for office and he was found wanting.
Mitt and his supporters want to force us into compromising the principles this country was founded on.
I cannot fathom WHY someone would claim to be a conservative and support Mitt. Must be because of his religion.
bkmking your excellent post...
