Well, I heard him say different things.

I was for Santorum originally, but the rest of you rejected him, leaving me nobody except Romney to support. I still maintain that he is a decent man, unlike the candidate you gave us by default — Obama.

Then you are willfully blind!

A good man does not abandon boys to predatory perverts.

A good man does not support the murdering of unborn babies.

A good man does not signal defeat on the moral front.

Really we gave you Obama? Seriously?

The only reason Romney lost - besides massive vote fraud - is because he could not attract enough votes. That is his responsibility and nobody else's. It is not my or Finny's job or duty to support your candidate. We and others like us are certainly not to blame when a weak candidate cannot close the deal.

You heard what you wanted to hear, and based on this thread, you still are practicing that selfsame practice.

Having eyes, see ye not? and having ears, hear ye not? and do ye not remember?

I heard him say the same "different things" and I wanted to believe as much as you did. The difference is that I actually took the time to check the veracity of what he said against his record of actual actions. Indeed, in 2006-7, I was inclined to think highly of Romney because of what he "said" and because of what fellow Republicans I respected (at the time) said about what Romney said.

Then I did my due diligence and removed the wool from over my eyes.

Why didn't you???

NO! Romney's back-stabbing primary campaign gave us Obama. Your failure to vote in the primary for an honest conservative is to blame for Obama!

That whiny "blame shifting" gets really old. Mitt's attitude of superiority and arrogance in believing in his god-given right to "save the constitution" kept Obama in the WH. Mitt (and voters like you) believed that he was "chosen" and didn't have to work for it!
