Most FReepers don’t consider Romney and Huntsman to even be Republicans.
Then again many FReepers are conservatives first and Republicans second, if that. If the Republicans fail to nominate a conservative then they are saying they don’t want our votes.
And if any conservative doesn't vote for the Republican, conservative or not, then they are saying they want four more years of Obama.
I'm 100% in favor of fighting to get a conservative as the nominee. I also believe in the saying that we should vote for "the most conservative candidate who could actually win." In this election, I think most of our conservative candidates could actually win, so that's not a huge issue for me.
NONE of our candidates is as conservative as me. My favorites, Gingrich, Bachmann, Cain and Santorum have all said things I disagree with from time to time. What I'm railing against is the tendency of FReepers to label someone as "not a conservative" when they're wrong on one issue, despite being conservative on 50 issues for every one they get wrong.
