As if they care. How do you begin to explain the differences between the two when they don’t even understand either one?

You don't think people understand not having a job, being underemployed or watching their investments crumble? Please. WTF country do you live in?

You and many others who don’t get it will. You need more than “conservartive” to win a general against Obama.

So, to you, we NEED Mitt Romney? There are a lot of conservatives on this website who would emphatically disagree with you. Willard does not have charisma and he isn't all that much different than Obama. Yet, here you are on a conservative site telling us we must support him or lose. Good thing you weren't around in 1979 or we would have had RINO Bush eight years earlier, or Jimmy Carter Pt. 2.

Mc Cain had neither conservatism nor charisma. No surprise there. It was over before it was over.

We were told by the likes of you that we had to support McCain because he was the one who could win in November. That lame argument won't work any longer. No president has been reelected since before WWII when the unemployment rate is higher than 7.2%. Do you think the rate of unemployment is going to plummet in the next 11 months? You may be willing to compromise because you don't have the courage of your convictions, but I don't think you'll find much support here.

Arguing for Mitt Romney on this site, and justifying it by claiming it's the only way to win -- and that most people in this country don't share or understand conservative values -- is a weak and risky argument. Just look at the FR front page for evidence. Here's what you'll find:

ObamaCare = RomneyCare = CommieCare. NO Romney! NO WAY!!

A person with values would not vote for a used car salesman like Mitt. But then, I'm at a loss to understand why you want to elect Mitt in the first place when he's not all that much different than Obama.

They said Reagan couldn't win. They said W couldn't beat Gore. I'm sure glad we don't listen to they.

“You don’t think people understand not having a job, being underemployed or watching their investments crumble?”

Do you not understand that all this will be blamed on Republicans???? And that it will be believed and voted upon? Obama will come out smelling like a rose this year to many of the above. I know Dems who have lost in the markets. . . big. They’re still voting for him. If you think we can win because the economy is bad, you’re dreaming. It’s gonna take much more than that.

“There are a lot of conservatives on this website who would emphatically disagree with you.”

I know. I know. I can read.

“Yet, here you are on a conservative site telling us we must support him or lose.”
Based on my understanding of human nature, more than political issues. But go on pretending it’s about politics.

“We were told by the likes of you that we had to support McCain because he was the one who could win in November.”

I wasn’t in that group. Never, never wanted McCain. No charisma. No conservatism. Lose. Lose. But yes I did vote for him. Had to.

“Just look at the FR front page for evidence. Here’s what you’ll find:
“ObamaCare = RomneyCare = CommieCare. NO Romney! NO WAY!!”

Seen it. Every time. So what? Other than a veiled attempt to convince the lurkers against voting for Romney because he is not conservative instead of the real reason, it doesn’t mean much to me. But it does say volumes about the level of hate directed to Romney on this site. I’ve seen that before. Nothing new there.

“They said Reagan couldn’t win. They said W couldn’t beat Gore. I’m sure glad we don’t listen to they.”

So now you are “they”, but you have it wrong just like “them”. It’s not about issues, although the speculation and pontification about a presidential election and it’s candidates issues makes tons of money for MSM, the talk show hosts, political analysts and others. It’s a joke now. Everybody’s just SO smart. . . except most of the people who will be voting. The Dems know this. But we don’t.

To paraphrase Reagan, if the people don’t understand, then we just need to explain it to them.

Bottom line, when there is a charismatic person who can articulate conservative principles and why they work, conservatism wins every time.
