Romney has been undermining conservatism a lot longer than McCain has. Btw, you trust Romney? I don’t. In 2008 McCain beat Romney. Do you really think Romney would have done better than McCain-Palin? I don’t.
I do know, FR supported the McCain-Palin ticket. Its Jim’s stated policy that FR would never support Willard back in 2008 or for 2012. McCain with Palin was a different story and a much different choice. Thankfully we won’t have that choice to make again.
But I trust McCain less.
The only reason I supported the ticket with him on it was because he chose Palin. I obviously would have voted for him regardless (I care enough about the country not to have wittingly voted for Obama by staying at home), but I did then and will always trust him less than I trust Romney. He's never done anything but be contrary (to conservative principles) to get his name in the news.
btw, no one tells me what to think. I do that entirely for myself, and I resist groupthink at all times in all places........including FR.
