Well, you voted for McCain, the solid conservative. Or, wait you went against your conscience and voted for him, realizing that Obama would be a disaster, which of course, he is.
Look, I understand the frustration of you and others, myself included. Romney isn’t on my short list. However, voting for the spoiler third party IF you’re in a red or purple state does nothing except make the people at NBC giddy. They’ll be saying “look at those flyover hicks following our orders to vote third party”.
I blame everyone who did *NOT* fully support A candidate during this primary.
I’m also happy to see that you supported Santorum and didn’t eliminate him for his Specter endorsement. Rick Santorum is a good man, trashed by this horrible media we have.
You misunderstand, mom. I voted for McCain because he had a long pro-life record, he had a long record on national defense, and he had a long record on being fiscally responsible...if not purist conservative. He also was willing to team up with pro-God, pro-family, pro-life Palin.
Now, Romney is not pro-life and never has been. His record is worse than terrible. He is pro gay marriage. He is pro gun control. He is pro big government and fiscal irresponsibility (Romneycare).
He doesn’t have a single drop of conservative blood in him that I can turn to and say, “See, he’s got some conservative creds.” He simply doesn’t.
So, because of that, I want to find a real conservative to vote for, and I want you to remain open to being convinced.
(Santorum, by the way, has an absolutely wonderful pro-life record, and he was my favorite (after Perry bombed out) to receive the nomination.)
BTW, I am a died-in-the-wool pro-lifer.
