Two conservatives candidates (both of whom won on Tuesday) told me essentially the same thing. They'll both be listed as supporting Romney but both feel that they have no choice, otherwise, they won't get cooperation from the state party that they need in their fall campaigns. That's the way the game works. One knows from experience since he angered the party establishment and suffered the consequences - his primary opponent was coaxed into the race by party regulars to silence this "trouble-maker". Each has told me that he will not personally vote for Romney - as one told me - the party bosses can't watch me vote.
In your response to Diogenesis, you listed a bunch of conservatives who have endorsed Romney. What would you expect? All of the these people have an interest in maintaining political viability. They can't get too far off the reservation.
My guess is the elected officials that you spoke to, think YOU are a “nut” and they are telling you what you want to hear since they are too busy to deal with kooks who can not handle the truth.
And?
For Heaven's sake, I was once on the front page of the Wichita Eagle for my thread to Governor Graves not to let him have the microphone on the floor of the San Diego Convention. You anti-Romney at all cost nut cases are causing harm to the conservative cause. I have paid my dues, I have the battle scars to prove it, and those who know me would tell you to shut up, since you are an embarrassment to yourself with your ignorant comments. I have done far more to advance the conservative cause in the State of Kansas than you could ever dream of.
Disagree with me on tactics, if you want, but I can give you the names of many elected conservatives who will tell you that I RECRUITED THEM to run against RINO’s and Liberal Democrats.
