Exactly. He’s an establishment Republican, not a conservative.
The Republicans are beating the bushes, trying to get this thing nailed down for Romney ASAP before someone asks more inconvenient questions about Bain Capital.
When the GOP has this locked up, conservatives will be able to turn off the TV, kick back and ignore the rest of the campaign... because Romney is going to lose. Call Morty and make book on it.
And the establishment Republicans will wonder (as these ignorant sows do, every time they put up an idiot liberal with a Republican tag after their name) “why did this happen?”
And they’ll pooh-pooh the idea that they lost their base. They’ll claim they need a candidate that is even more squishy, even more liberal, to win elections.
The only way to drive the point home to them now is for a third party candidate to emerge who is a real conservative and show the GOP just how many people want a real conservative on their ballot.
A third party is coming and I will happily pull the lever for a real conservative.
Romney will never get my vote, and I am not alone among tea party conservative.
