I agree with your sentiment - for the most part. It frustrates me no end to see Newt and Santorum supporters ripping into each other's candidates. They're BOTH good men and conservative stalwarts. I like Newt but could proudly vote for Santorum.
Where I have to part company is on Myth. He's vermin. Garbage. I wouldn't vote for him under any circumstances and don't understand how anyone calling himself a conservative could do so either.

Thank you for your note.
I agree with you on Romney being very bad, but I personally prefer to use terms of attack which are specific, accurate, and are calculated to convince those who disagree.
That means I'd rather attack Romney's stances on abortion, health care, etc., than call him “Myth.” I think it's less effective to call someone a bad name than to attack what he believes.
That has personal application to me. I need to thank Free Republic for waking me up to just how bad Mitt Romney's positions on abortion really were as a candidate in Massachusetts. I am far from being a political novice, but before I saw the videos I really did **NOT** know how bad his comments had been.
It simply made no sense to me that a Mormon could be pro-choice and I assumed his positions in Massachusetts were something like Clinton's “safe, legal and rare” comments, which are bad enough, but what Romney said was far worse. There are still many, many conservatives who don't realize how bad Romney is and how dangerous it would be to have him appointing Supreme Court justices.
