The discussion within the movement ought to be about post-2008 politics and where we ought to go. Because no matter which party wins the Presidency, conservatism has lost a major battle. And sadly, many intellectual and grassroots leaders are damaging themselves with this odd shilling for Romney.

Exactly. In my opinion, many of them are going to go down with Flipper. The worst thing that could happen to them is for him to win. Mitt Romney is a liberal con-artist and will govern as such. No conservative should willingly help put such a politician in office.

I am already not planning to renew my NR subscription, and I have had it for many years. In terms of true conservatism, it is becoming a pointless magazine. The Romney cheerleading and endorsement are two cases in point. I can read Mark Steyn online, and if I feel the need to check out NR, I will do it at the library for free.

I trust Mark’s opinion much more than yours, “Antoninus”. Mark Levin is a real person who puts his real reputation on the line and has concluded that Romney is to be trusted enough to see him as better than McCain.

You are a poster who has no direct access to information, who bases his opinion on misinterpreted jokes made to CAMPAIGN DONATION callers, and what he reads on the internet.

Spot on comments. Our country's on a ship called the Titanic...and it is going full speed ahead thanks to the help of those who claim to be conservatives.
