A lot of people who claim to be conservatives endorsed Romney. I believe most of them are conservative however we must not forget that politics more often than not trumps principle in Washington.
And believe it or not many pols do not have the background info that we here on FR have on RINOs like Romney. They and their staff see what is said ***today***, and they look to the RNC and other high level republican chatter, then they make statements.
IOW they are not always in touch and even if they are in touch they may find it less than enhancing to point out the hypocrisy of powerful well-funded RINOs.
I like the ones that stay silent.
I do not understand why Palin was not silent other than she is on the circuit for catching dollars in preparation for a large role in the future. I suspect some party brass looked at her and said they expected everyone to blow kisses at McCain.
I still don’t like it though.
