She could fight for conservatives.

You don't get it do you? I'll try to explain it to you in a way that you might be able to understand.

• Various people campaigned to be the Republican nominee.
• as the process continued those without enough support (that would be votes and money) dropped out
• The field slowly narrowed down to Santorum, Neut, and Romney
• Santorum dropped out a couple of weeks ago,
• Neut dropped out a couple of days ago.
• The Republican candidate selection process is over.
• Romney won.
• The Republican candidate will be Romney
• The next president will either be 0bama or Romney
• You have to decide which you'd rather have.
• If you'd rather have 0bama, then by all means vote for a third party and keep trying to get other fools to vote for someone who doesn't have a snowflake's chance in hell of beating 0.

That's about as simple as I can make it for you.

You sound like you will not even have to “hold your nose” to vote for Romney.

You might as well beat your head against a wall as to use logic with these people.

Uh, not quite. Romney basically destroyed any candidate who did not self-destruct first. He engaged in scorched-earth politics that makes re-uniting the party all that much harder, especially after the GOP-E knifed Sarah Palin in the back in 2008 and Tea Party candidates in 2010. He was a phenomenally unpopular putative favorite and that was reflected in his low percentages early on.

The GOP-E has shown they will fight the Tea Party harder than they will fight Democrats, yet demand the Tea Party join them in taking out Obama.

So until the GOP-E decides that the Tea Party is more than an ally of temporary convenience, they are going to have a hell of a time selling their RINO du jour.

And that is what we are seeing on FR. Trying the hard-sell the party unity theme to Romney critics - after the GOP-E showed that party unity meant bupkis to them in 2010 - aint' gonna cut it. And you're a fool for thinking the time-worn rose-colored glasses party unity sales pitch is gonna work after what the GOP-E has wrought upon the party.

I am voting conservative.
