First, I oppose Mitt Romney now for the same reasons I've opposed him since about 2007. He's a radical liberal. As recently as 2008 (dec 2007) he was saying about himself that "his position is effectively pro-choice." I already know that he came out JUST recently (this April) in favor of gay couples. Moreover, he says these "gay couples" should be able at state level to "adopt children".

Just last week his gun-control tendencies came to the fore when he stated after Aurora he wouldn't change his gun grabbing in Massachusetts, and that he LIKES that kind of legislation.

July 23 - Romney: "....our challenge is not the laws but the people who obviously are distracted from reality and do unthinkable, unimaginable, inexplicable things. "
Kudlow: "As the governor of massachusetts you did sign legislation restricting or banning a assault weapons. did that work in massachusetts to your satisfaction?"
Romney: "Well, actually the law that we signed in massachusetts was a combination of efforts both on the part of those that were for additional gun rights and those that opposed gun rights. They came together and made some changes that provided, i think, a better environment for both. That's why both sides came to celebrate the signing of the bill. Were there opportunities for people of reasonable minds to come together and find common ground? That's the legislation i like."

I will NEVER ever vote for that. He is a pro-abortion, pro-homosexualism, pro-gun control, social corporatist liberal. IOW, a radical liberal.

Republican, you act as if there were no media bias, no lying campaign, no dirty tricks, and no enormous money advantage.

We can go on and on about each candidate having an equal chance, but we know it isn't true.

Also, I remind you that the Republican Party is a private organization and not a governmental one. They have no reason to keep a hands off policy, and they did not do so...they were clearly in the tank for Mitt from the beginning.

I already know why you and I didn’t support Romney in the primary. That doesn’t change the fact that conservatives on the whole supported him. You also continue to omit the simultaneous ousting and rejection of other establishment figures which completely undoes your entire argument.

Your solution is no more helpful to the future of the Republic than the most militant member of the CPUSA. Marveling at the “creativity” of aligning with leftist groups using Goode (longtime Democrat turned Independent, turned Republican, turned Constitution Party) to try to help Obama get re-elected...apparently Goode supports the wasteful rail projects as one of his claims to fame.

Me too! and for the very same reason (Isn't that a coincidence?)!

Actually, while I am largely a Reagan Conservative (embracing the principles of all three factions), I hail out of social conservatism, and still wear the Pro-Life hat as firmly as ever: Pro-Life is a prerequisite I will always insist upon... And Romney, on the question of Life alone, is left wanting, to say the least. Without any other consideration, Life alone would stop me from voting for this SOB. But as it turns out, even if one could convince me to overlook Life, the list of irreconcilable differences is longer than my arm. And there is nary a single positive aspect to vote *FOR*... with the possible exception that he seems to keep Brylcreme and Dentu-Grip in business, all by himself.

But more importantly than my vote, I will predict that the Christian Right will *not* turn out for Romney for the same reason (The Life thing, not the Brylcreme thing). Our FRiends here don't seem to understand that the die is already cast. If the Christians won't vote for him, he ain't gonna win. It is as simple as that.

Which is exactly why I am a Republican no longer... and why 60% of Conservatives now stand outside of the GOP. I no longer have any obligation to vote for anything they throw up (pun intended), and I am fine with that. I will probably vote for Hoefling, unless Goode catches fire, but I see no reason why I couldn't vote for Goode if it turns out that way.
