Except Romney is running on a conservative platform, much more conservative than the one Bush ran on.
If he turns out different, it will be because he has lied to his own party to get elected. I don’t think for a second he is, but if that’s the case it won’t destroy the party, it will strengthen it to punish him for lying.
The problem is when you compromise your principles and vote for people who are actually running on issues you disagree with. Then when they get elected and actually IMPLEMENT those things, you scream and cry and complain, but it’s your own fault.
That’s why I don’t think we can support McCain who is “telling the truth about being against us”, because his election would show we weren’t serious, and when he goes against us we’ll have no valid complaint, and will instead be demoralized.
to have some pouty Thompson supporters lashing out tonight is to be expected...
