I think that Romney would relish conservative opposition if he were elected President. He trying to establish a moderate base and the best way to establish his credibility in this regard is to get the conservatives into an uproar and then sell himself as the "reasonable" alternative to these "extremists" with the GOP-e cheering him on. IMO, conservatives will be far more marginalized under Romney than Obama. At least, if conservatives are battling Obama, the moderate Republican establishment is less likely to stab us in the back.
“IMO, conservatives will be far more marginalized under Romney than Obama”
I would not make that assumption. I think most conservatives have underestimated and continue to underestimate the extent hussein will go in his pursuit of ‘fundamental transformation” This means nothing less than the utter destruction of the Constitution and establishment of a socialist dictatorship. Under a new hussein regime, conseravtives will not only have to worry about political marginalization, but we will have to worry about our basic natural rights.
The question really comes down to this. Do you fear dealing with rinos and moderates or do you fear dealing with a new hussein regime? You can only select one or the other. If you are primarily concerned with the Republicans stabbing you in the back, metphorically speaking, then don’t vote or better yet vote for hussein. Hussein will do the job of eliminating all Republicans (metaphorically?) very nicely.
