This issue has puzzled me. I’m determined to vote my conscience in the primary (havnen’t yet determined who that will be) and vote for whomever is nominated in the general.
But the tearing down of each candidate puzzles me. No one is going to fit the whole bill. Lately, even on FR, I know most would hate to see Romney, but then the piling on of Gingrich occurs. So you don’t like this about this candidate, and you don’t like that about that candidate...but reality has to set in at some point and face the fact we are going to have an imperfect candidate. The negative talk seems conterproductive to me.
Instead of stating why we won’t vote for someone, maybe we should start observing why we will vote for a particular candidate. I’m getting tired of all the negatives, and I think it’s playing into the democrats hands...the pundits are the worst.
“But the tearing down of each candidate puzzles me.”
That’s not really what’s happening. It’s the tearing down of each R candidate not named Mitt Romney. Romney will get his only AFTER the nomination.
The conservative pundits decided three years ago who the nominee would be. These attacks are their temper tantrum that R’s might not necessarily accept their diktat.
