“I think all the invective separates people who actually think pretty much alike. I’ll be fair when I deal with those who’ve come down on a different side of the “lesser of two evils” vote. I’ve been there before with McCain, GHW Bush, Bob Dole.”
I agree with this.
And since I *have* been there before, and voted for dull Dole and RINO McCain, I’m not bent out of shape voting for a guy like Romney who will probably be as useful to conservatives as GHWBush was once he gets in.
It’s that Obama is far worse than Dukakis, Clinton or Gore, that makes this is a DEFCON 1 vote.
Romney is more conservative and less annoying than McCain was, at least (who had the habit of kicking conservatives in the shins just to suck up to the media). But I knew how bad Obama would be and really did what I could to get McCain elected. I was right, so I’m still ... Anyone But Obama.
I checked and you are right. I missed Santorum. So, I’ll rephrase.
Doesn’t it seem odd to you that SBA went the entire election season not endorsing any of the signatories of their pledge excepting Santorum, but did manage to endorse Romney, the one person who refused to sign their pledge?
Also, McCain had a pro-life background and voting record.
