I’ve been a freeper for a long time and I think you guys are misguided on Mitt. I am a native Michigander and Mitt’s father George was a very popular Republican governor there. My sister-in-law used to roam Mackinaw Island during the summer months with the young Mitt so she feels that she grew up with him. He’s a decent, kind, and honorable man...according to her. He has never forgotten her or her family and has done some very generous things throughout his life. He will be a fine President. Anyone who’d rather have Obama for a President is off their rocker. Mitt is not an unknown entity. He’s not a die hard conservative...but you’re dreaming if you think we will ever be able to win a National election with anything close to a “conservative.”
I have been a freeper for a long time too and you have a valid point ‘river. Many of us trying to take a more realistic rational approach to debate have been asked to pack their bags. You know when your own team asks an Orange County, Newport Beach, Lincoln Clubber, Ronald Reagan Conservative with strong Libertarian beliefs to “pack their bags” from a conservative site like Free Republic then one can only assume that the idea here is WE THE PEOPLE, that is ALL the people of this nation MUST and WILL be ruled under one belief and one belief only. One ideology becomes doctrine the other destroyed. Does anyone really believe that is possible in The United States of America today...? Unless you are willing to go the way of balkanization and separation then you must learn and accept the fact life is about give and take and to claim victory is simply getting just a bit more than getting little or nothing at all.
but you’re dreaming if you think we will ever be able to win a National election with anything close to a “conservative.”

What are you smoking? Reagan took 49 states, I don’t think you can get much more conservative than him.
