As for "people like me" holding back the advancement of conservatism...I thought the all powerful Tea Party was taking care of that. Gosh a year ago the Tea Party, or those who spoke of them here on FR, were going to own every seat in both houses of congress via their popular conservative mandate. I'm just a middle aged guy in Missouri. How can I stop such a juggernaut of an organization as the Tea Party?

It's ALL your fault dude!

The truth is the Tea Party is just not anywhere near as powerful as some thought it would be, and some disillusioned people are just lashing out and looking to blame anyone - even one guy from Missouri.

The obvious truth is Romney federal judicial appointments will be better than Obama's simply because he will answer to a different constituency. Massachusetts is a deep blue state and Willard never really had 50% of the government or people behind the idea of appointing conservative jurists. He would as President. That doesn't mean they'd be excellent or even good - just better than what Hussein would nominate. With each nomination Romney would always have to decide whether to throw a bone to conservatives. With each nomination Obama doesn't even consider that as he is always just looking to pick the most radical left judge he can squeeze through the Senate.

Political pragmatism may be a dirty word at the moment, but having lived in other parts of the world and seen splintered opposition unable to unite and stop leftist candidates I am perfectly willing to vote for an unimpressive centrist moderate candidate over a hard left socialist.

Nice coherent post. Good to see some of those on FR on occasion.

Oh, and I’m a middle-aged guy from Missouri to. McKaskill has to go!

So Romney who is a liberal, who has sworn to work with democrats, who has for years worked against conservatism, until the last few months did not refer to himself as such, who’s governance was liberal, who life is liberal will somehow be different as president?
huh?
