I'm all for building a "new conservative coalition"; but you do not build one overnight or in seven months. Perhaps the best way to build one is to reform the GOP from within (it certainly needs it!), rather than trying to build a conservative alternative from scratch....
Oh, and the kind of "liberals" that Romney would likely staff his administration with (assuming he's the GOP nominee and wins, of course, and that's far from assured) would likely include names such as, for example, Rob Portman, John Bolton, Mitch Daniels, et al. Real left-wingers, there who have all endorsed Romney.
I dunno, dear brother in Christ. It seems to me you guys have created quite a bogeyman for yourselves.... But then again, what do I know? You may be right about Romney.
But somehow, I doubt it.
It pains me that we are at odds over this, dear brother in Christ. Yet reasonable people can disagree, (hopefully) without being "disagreeable." I respect your right to form your own thinking on any question. Ultimately, what this all boils down to is a person's act of conscience; and we are all accountable to God for such acts.
I was for Sarah, for Cain, for Santorum, and now Newt, even with his numerous warts (so to speak). I hope he is able to pull off a brokered convention.
But if he cannot, I will not do anything that will enable, help, abett, or assist the abject marxist, Barack Hussein Obama, get into a second term, either by my action or inaction. He is, IMHO, a much more real and present danger to these United States than anyone else running...and I have explained this here on FR and on my own site
As you say, it is an act of conscience for all loyal Americans, and I will not desparage or naysay anyone who loves this country and its constitution and who acts in this regard out of those convictions, even if they are not what I personally intend.
Obama is...the man who despises America
