his support for Abortion and the Gay Agenda and with no clear, consistent limited government message was bound to lose.

I don't know what election you were watching, but Romney didn't lose on the issues of abortion and gays. If anything Obama won by the pro-aborts and gay marriage folks. And a blind armadillo could see that Obama is the big government choice.

We certainly could have had a stronger candidate - I don't know who that would have been among those who ran - but only the politically stupid conservative would not vote for Romney on those issues.

Do you really think that if Romney had not come out in support of Abortion and the Gay Agenda that the election would have turned out like it did?

Do you really believe that conservatives in general would not have had such a lack-luster feeling for Romney, even aversion because of his history and his issue positions if he had actually acted like a conservative and taken conservative positions?

Do you really believe that a completely energized base, not acting our of fear of Obama, but out of support for a candidate that actually represented them, wdould not have made a major difference in the GOTV and in convincing everyone to vote for Romney?

He isn't a conservative, he did not run as a conservative, he depressed the vote.
