For the good of the economy, the good of our defense and to keep more whacked-out liberals from holding lifetime appointments on the bench, we need Romney no matter how much we disagree with his social and religious views.

Hugh Hewitt, a great Right Radio talk show host, had me sold on Romney back in '06 or '07. Then I started looking at Romney's record, listening to his speeches, and reading his op-eds.

Your argument would make sense if it didn't entail installing a whacked-out liberal Republican with a confirmed, documented, solid, in-office record of advancing the liberal agenda on five fronts, including judicial appointments.

To me, any rational conservative understands that this isn't about Obama vs Romney, it's about authoritarian statism vs limited government conservatism. The only way to advance limited government conservatism is to weaken the authoritarian statist president. To me, any rational conservative will vote to do that.

In any other year, that’s a decent argument but this year we have to choose to defeat Obama in any way possible. Even 1/4th of a conservative is better than zero.

Try all you want to convince me otherwise but you’re just doing Obama’s bidding by doing it.

My very first post on FR was against Hugh Hewitt.
