I cannot believe how many people are willing to sacrifice their political credibility to throw their support behind men who have such sordid records.
Mark... geez fella.
I dont get it either - especially since we are talking about a man who claimed to be to the left of Ted Kennedy on abortion, gun control and gay rights. Then there is this thing in which he forced health care on citizens (call it hillary care light).
I think the bottom line is that these guys hate McCain with a passion - not that its hard to do - but they are blindly following someone who is the GOP's John Kerry.
Maybe everyone but you isn’t wrong.
Mitt Romney is a great man and will be a great leader. I met him and Ann yesterday and they are so real and decent.
Did he say anything you disagree with in his littany against McCain? Or do you argue that those items are not disqualifying?
If not, is there anything in Romney’s platform or his stump speeches or what he says in the debates or on the campaign trail that you find disqualifying for a conservative?
If not, are you going to vote in a way that will choose as our nominee the man with the flaws Mark points out, rather than the man who is running on a solid conservative platform?
Is fear that a candidate might be lying mean more to you than the actual spoken words of a candidate that is in opposition to conservative values?
There is nothing wrong with conservatism. But, obviously, we need new messengers. The "conservative" pundits have proven that they will liar and manipulate just to help the Republican party.
