I don't usually reply to replies that start with the word "so". They always try to put words in my mouth that I didn't say.
It was you who tried to soft pedal Romney's stance on abortion. I agreed with you that Obama's stance was evil.
Furthermore, I know which candidate's stance is the lesser evil but don't piss down my leg and tell me it's raining, Romney is a damn'd liberal, he's just the lesser liberal.
So, Holly_P (just kidding!).
Good point about the lesser of two liberals. The difficulty is that a true conservative can no longer get elected in this now-socialist, welfare state, polygolt (not melting pot) country.
I don’t suppose Ronald Reagan could get elected today, partly due the the 24/7 institutional and social media (vastly slanted left) which did not exist in 1980, and partly due to slow but inexorable trends: the increasing liberalization that comes with each generation due to the schools, the lack of fathers in the home, thus more self-indulgent whiners in every generation, and the increasing misunderstanding of the critical role of a free market economy to a well-functioning and literate democratic citizenry.
