“‘Eating our own’ because we don’t have the POTUS nominee we want is simply self-defeating.”
There is a difference between not getting the POTUS nominee we want and getting one who is on the other side. Romney is a progressive.
I’ll vote for him and then go home and take a shower.
Cherry-picking one sentence and ignoring the context in which it appeared is a defective way to argue.
In my #61, I dismissed Romney as irrelevant to the substance of the election. It is ‘obvious’, in context, that ‘eating our own’ had NOTHING whatever to do with the ol’ Etch-a-sketcher. It DID have EVERYTHING to do with the constant internecine struggles JimR was addressing.
He was advocating banishing the ol’ Circular Firing Squad formation. He was calling on the community to focus constructively on the ‘down-ballot’ because sitting out the whole election because the POTUS nominee was terminally defective is self-defeating.
I don’t care if Mittens is a Progressive, a Jehovah’s Witness or a nudist. He is ‘irrelevant’. The down-ballot, on the other hand, is ABSOLUTELY relevant.
Since I am constructing my vote to ‘oppose’ Iman Hussein and SUPPORT Conservatism and Constitutionalist Candidates, to the exclusion of all others, I don’t have to worry about running home to shower after voting.
