I agree about Romney, but the trouble is that none of the remaining 3 is conservative on most issues.
McCain is great on military matters, pork-busting ... but he rejected tax cuts (and explained at the time that he did so because he didn’t want to help the rich, who are the ones paying the lions share OF income taxes), mucked around on federal judicial appointments, has totally drunk the Gore-Bal Warming kool-aid, opposes “torture” no matter what the stakes, and, of course, is THE poster-boy for “It’s Not ‘Amnesty’ Because They Have To Pay $2000.”
Romney, as you noted, has flopped all over the place, and recently, too. To his credit, on most issues (not all — guns, for example), he’s NOW saying largely the right things. But can his recent conversions be trusted?
Huckabee has most of the 9 problems outlined earlier in the thread. He’s not as bad fiscally as his worst critics charge, but ... well, it largely reminds me of a religious, anti-abortion, pro-gun Arnold Schwarzenegger. He’s also done a lot of Romney-like “campaign conversions,” such as on illegals.
Oy.
Nod. I’m with you. I chose to support Huckabee, but there’s something about Free Republic where people have to pretend to themselves that they are supporting the “one true conservative” . . . the same maroons that were slamming Romney when they were for Fred are now slamming Huckabee now that they are for Romney. Personally, I consider Romney the least conservative and least reliable man in the race. Don’t know if you saw this yesterday but it’s a good read:

YES.
Better a convert than a traitor.
