How can you vote for Mccain? I am realy at odds here(like almost mental,lol) Why do we as Conservatives have to settle?
Nietzche was right in that the realists (Machiavelli) always win out over the idealists (the Greeks).
“Why do we as Conservatives have to settle?”
Because we are not the majority of the Republican party.
Its time to vote tactically so McCain will lose.
We can’t let the media annoint candidates and tell us everyone else has lost.
If you read up on Romney with an open mind, you will find that yes, he did make some pandering PC statements in 1994 when trying to oust uber-liberal Ted Kennedy in Massachusetts.
And yes, he was once a VERBAL pro-choice supporter.....
But his record of actual governance is fairly conservative... and had great results.
Romney got good marks from all ProLife organizations (check it out yourself) and from the NRA.
Romney, as Governor of Mass, took a LOT of heat and criticism from the homo and abortion lobby because he refused to support their demands.
90% of the slams against Romney are simply hype from super hard-liners who just cant get past those one or two pandering statements Romney made during the heat of the 1994 campaign.
Ann Coulter, Jay Sekulow, Limbaugh, Sen Jim DeMint, Hugh Hewitt, and dozens of other conservatives see in Romney a refreshing conservative face, one who is NOT afraid to promote and support conservative ideas and issues.
Because you are 15-20% of the Republican electorate and divided among yourselves, which is not a position from which you get to call the shots.
The "nominate my guy or I'll shoot this dog" strategy has gotten you nowhere, and is p*ssing all the other Republicans off.
That's why you have to settle.
