By offering a Romneylike republican, Anderson helped bring out anti-Reagan voters who would have set at home.
Speaking of obsessions, one of us is a conservative fighting for conservatism and to make sure that a man who didn’t even belong in republican politics, doesn’t get white washed and become a GOP leader and continue to contaminate the party with his bizarre left wing politics and ideas, and you are obsessed with advancing him and protecting his dark and sinister influence.
Lifetime republican, Anderson was to the right of Romney, but they were both anti-Reagan.
But support Romney or not, I can't see much point in hounding or vilifying him (you do realize that you can oppose someone without doing that -- or maybe you don't). In any case, carrying on the abuse after he ceases to be a factor looks like a waste of time.
I guess you think your bona fides are proved by obsessively attacking Romney. I'm not sure that was ever the case. All this repeated talk of "contamination" may mark you down as something more dangerous. But by now it's probably time to move on to something more constructive.
