There are a few pro-choice Republicans who recognize that while they find themselves outside the party’s mainstream, the rest of their values are coherent with the party, so they remain. They are wise if they keep their pro-choice sentiments to themselves in polite Republican company.
Analagously, there can be some pro-Romney Conservatives on FR. They aren’t in the mainstream. They oughtn’t consume JR’s valuable realestate, goodwill and electrons with opinions offensive to the host and many / most thorough conservatives. That’s an argument best taken elsewhere.
We’ll all bumble through this election finding our common ground of Conservatism where we can. Some can support Mitt. Some cannot. I’m with the latter. I understand the former.
I just can’t vote for my next Socialist Slavemaster (see RomneyCare.)
I have wondered what percentage of active FReepers will vote for Romney on November 6th. I expect it is an overwhelming majority but there is no way to be sure.
