I don't disagree that Mitt sucks. He is my last choice, just like McCain in 08. Based on the 2008, 2000, 1996, and 1992 primaries, conservatives don't appeal to a national electorate. We may have to choose between Mitt and Obama in 2012. Either the GOP nominee, or Obama will be President. If the GOP nominates Mitt, I will vote for Mitt. I prefer Mitt over Obama. I believe no President could be worse than Obama. You prefer Obama to Mitt, and you admit it in your post with the word "worse." I don't know why you are getting so hostile. Look in the mirror and embrace your Obama lovin' self.
rat - It's the new conservatism.
You are extremely short-sighted, Once-Ler, and that's only human. But you are also extremely hostile and intellectually deceitful when you conclude that anyone who refuses to vote for Romney is therefore an Obama "enabler."
I'm trying, I'm trying to get away from that language. I've covered politics for a long time, but I'm trying to get away from that kind of language. Thanx for taking the time responding with a passionate, well written, and thoughtful defense of your opinion. We disagree.
Enlighten me, please. Who were the conservatives who ran in the 1992, '96, '00 and '08 primaries?
Hint: Pat Buchanan doesn't count. There was never a chance he would win the nomination -- he was running as a gadfly.
Fred Thompson doesn't count either -- since he obviously didn't want the job enough to work for it.
Fact is, a credible conservative hasn't competed for the GOP nomination since Ronaldus Magnus.
