“There is no better time than today to remind the voting population of the differences between collectivism and conservatism.”
As if they care. How do you begin to explain the differences between the two when they don’t even understand either one? Please.
“I’ll take my chances with the uncharismatic conservative.”
You and many others who don’t get it will. You need more than “conservartive” to win a general against Obama.
“We listened to your BS four years ago, and we ended up with someone who couldn’t fight his way out of a wet paper bag.”
Mc Cain had neither conservatism nor charisma. No surprise there. It was over before it was over.
“Been there, done that.”
Yes, and we’ll do it again, unfortunately, with an irritating candidate (to the masses) such as Newt or Santorum. Personally, they would be just fine for me, as would have the others. But, you’re absolutely right that I am not only pessimistic, but extremely certain that my values, social & economic, are not shared by most voters today.
You don't think people understand not having a job, being underemployed or watching their investments crumble? Please. WTF country do you live in?

So, to you, we NEED Mitt Romney? There are a lot of conservatives on this website who would emphatically disagree with you. Willard does not have charisma and he isn't all that much different than Obama. Yet, here you are on a conservative site telling us we must support him or lose. Good thing you weren't around in 1979 or we would have had RINO Bush eight years earlier, or Jimmy Carter Pt. 2.

We were told by the likes of you that we had to support McCain because he was the one who could win in November. That lame argument won't work any longer. No president has been reelected since before WWII when the unemployment rate is higher than 7.2%. Do you think the rate of unemployment is going to plummet in the next 11 months? You may be willing to compromise because you don't have the courage of your convictions, but I don't think you'll find much support here.
Arguing for Mitt Romney on this site, and justifying it by claiming it's the only way to win -- and that most people in this country don't share or understand conservative values -- is a weak and risky argument. Just look at the FR front page for evidence. Here's what you'll find:
ObamaCare = RomneyCare = CommieCare. NO Romney! NO WAY!!
A person with values would not vote for a used car salesman like Mitt. But then, I'm at a loss to understand why you want to elect Mitt in the first place when he's not all that much different than Obama.
They said Reagan couldn't win. They said W couldn't beat Gore. I'm sure glad we don't listen to they.
