I posted to point out that things you said about Romney weren't proven and may not have been true, and I think I've done a pretty good job of it. I've also posted to point out that the charge that Newt Gingrich was anti-Reagan in some fundamental way is misleading and not really true. But there's nobody pushing that line everyday, so my objection was more muted.

I have reservations about Mitt. I expressed them when the campaign started and during the 2008 campaign as well. I'm not sure that he's that good a candidate or that he'd make the best President. But one can decide not to vote for someone and still not malign and vilify him or her. One can disagree with a candidate without trying to destroy him or her.

You've got so much hatred for Romney, his family, his religion, that people are going to react to it -- assuming anybody's paying attention that is, which isn't the case most of the time. Some people will be spurred on by your venom. Others will react against it.

But it's not really about Romney himself. I can see that he's not the best possible choice. But given the imperfect alternatives, some conservatives -- people I've respected -- have settled on him. Even if it were okay to slam Romney himself, burning bridges with people who chose one poor alternative over another was foolhardy and wrong, and it's something we'll regret.

I wish I could be one of the many who just ignore your posts, but since I paid attention to them, I can't help reacting as I have. If there's a lesson in this, it could be that sometimes less is more. A more modest discussion of the available facts does more to convince than efforts to demolish people.

Romney is a disgusting monster of a man, a failed Governor, a great power within the Mormon cult.

Romney has devoted himself to corrupting people, and converting them from Christ.

We can see Mitt on video in interviews and TV appearances selling abortion with great passion and convincing sincerity.

Romney is a true, natural born liberal, who has never serve conservatism in any way, he has only fought it.

Abortion, pro-homosexual-radical agenda, anti-Reagan anti-guns, dishonesty and compulsive lying, Romneycare, left wing judges, anti-American, anti-military service. Romney covers the full range of true liberalism.
