I understand your point, but an individual American has to vote as an individual. Supporting, endorsing, Bishop Romney is something that many Americans cannot do, even if they have been voting for Republican candidates for decades.
It is easy to think in terms of Obama versus Romney, but for millions of us, we will not be forced into voting for Romney, no matter how you phrase it, there is a conservative force within the GOP which is fighting to defeat the left, and that fight includes stopping the Romney/Rockefeller element from defeating the Reagan/Palin branch of the GOP.
Where was your argument when you guys were fighting to defeat the GOP Senate candidate in Alaska?
I will always favor the most conservative candidate inside the party. Once that contest has been decided, however, I will still vote for the most conservative candidate in the general. Again, not to do so is an objective vote for the declared enemy of our constitution. I have yet to hear a logical basis in refutation of tha premise.
