Since no ABO poster in the last several hundred posts had the integrity to answer, perhaps you will. Please tell me, in detail, how it is that voting for a man who...
Actively supports abortion with his own money and through passed legislation advances conservatism and brings an end to that decidedly unconservative activity.
Voting for a man who Has been a vocal advocate of and passed laws supporting homosexual ‘rights’ over your own and laws like gay marriage advances conservatism and brings an end to that decidedly unconservative activity.
Voting for a man who invented and continues to promote Romneycare IE Obamacare advances conservatism and brings an end to that decidedly unconservative activity.
Voting for a man who strongly believes in mandates advances conservatism and brings an end to that decidedly unconservative activity.
Voting for a man who denied Reagan and his policies advances conservatism and brings an end to that decidedly unconservative activity.
Also, please explain in detail how a person claiming to hold conservative values can suspend those values to vote for this man and just put them back on like a pair of socks after that vote is done, then look at himself in the mirror and say, “Yup, I’m a staunch conservative” without that reflection laughing hysterically at such an obvious display of situational ethics...something anathema to conservatism.
In fact, all you ABO voters are welcome to take a shot.
I can't speak for you or how you will act in the upcoming election but for myself when dealing with a man like Romney I realize he will have to be Charlie Cristed.
He was a governor of Fla. We did light a huge fire under his ass. We did get rid of him./Now we have a gentleman named Marco Rubio.
In this election cycle I thoroughly supported Palin,then Newt and now as you so appropriately noted side with Rush and proclaim anyone but ozero.
Am I happy about the situation? Hell no.I wanted a conservative.Now the question is am I a sore loserman? Will that help or hinder a long term conservative cause? For me I fight for the long haul.
Muslims get it. They fight 50/100, 500 year wars and never give up even when we kick their ass over and over.
If we start giving up, start claiming our guy didn't get in so we won't vote. We can feel good about our selves but to me that's always been a liberal tendency to go with ones "feelings".
My biggest concern after the next election is who gets in and what potential we have to influence the new potus. IMHO, we will not influence ozero at all.
I think differently about Romney.I think we have the potential to influence what he does.
Will it be 100% of the time, 70% of the time? I just don't know.But I do surmise that we have a better chance at doing what we do best here on FR of leading the horse to water with Romney than with ozero. Just my opinion.
