My take is that Romney would be better than Zero in the short term, but is definitely worse for conservatism in the long run. In my mind killing the conservative brand and moving the GOP even further to the left may be even more damaging for our country in the long run than anything Zero can accomplish in the next four years.

Absolutely on the mark! I'm not going to select one turd because it smells a little less than the other. Both men will be disasters over the next four years - our nation needs help. A Tea-Party-dominated Congress would oppose Obama but is likely to roll over for Romney who would likely accomplish more of the progressive agenda than Obama. Anyone who thinks that a Republican Congress would reign in Romney is dreaming.

Unfortunately, too many people don't realize that they are helping Romney fulfill the dream of his father: destroy the conservative movement.

Bingo. Mitch McConnell de-testicled Jim DeMint quite effectively. And Mitch also said last week that he wouldn't repeal ObamaCare under Romney. Then a few hour later, he was forced to walk back his statement because of Tea Party pressure. They're all turds.
