Of course I’ve read you tagline. I also read your link. And I’ve read your posts that have overwhelmingly focused on attacking Romney while generally giving McCain a pass.

I just can’t for the life of me see where you’re coming from here. And I’ve always had a good deal of regard for you over the years.

Here's where I'm coming from: I think Romney would be worse for the GOP and the country than McCain. It seems pretty obvious to me, and I think our allies in the conservative media are out more for themselves than for conservative principle on this one--particularly after so many of them rushed to support Giuliani or Romney while there were still perfectly acceptable conservatives in the race.

As for McCain, I have no love for him. But if push came to shove, I could pull the lever for him against Hillbama. Not so with Romney--the man is simply a no-core-values fraud who will help liberalism advance on all fronts while pretending to oppose it--just like he did in Massachusetts. I also have zero confidence in him on judges. You know his record, in MA, right? I expect Romney to do to the GOP nationally what he did to the GOP in Massachusetts--make it a neutered rump party that has no chance to compete nationally anymore.

And I’ve always had a good deal of regard for you over the years.

I appreciate the kind words. I'm pretty much in lock-step with Jim Rob on this one, so I feel like I'm in good company.
