Sarah Palin is a strong ABO’er and will be voting for Romney. So according to your own words, Sarah Palin is:

‘No different’ from Nancy Pelosi.
A ‘hypocrite’.
‘Absurd’.
‘Has no core beliefs or integrity’.
‘Makes excuse after excuse’.

And it sounds like you would be voting for Sarah Palin if she was the candidate. Boy, imagine what that makes you! ...every other R candidate is supporting Romney also. So who was your candidate, genius?

What is it about supporters of Romney, McCain, Rudy, or any other liberal, or in Romney's case, Progressive Liberal that they tend to be so dishonest in their arguments against principled conservatives who will not compromise their values and support the Progressive du jour the GOP-E cheats into the nomination?

You took a generalized statement by Norm Lenhart concerning formerly principled conservatives who change when they start supporting lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberals like Mitt Romney ("In the last several months I have seen support for gay marriage and euthanasia, border fence advocates told they want dead Mexican kids, Men called perverts, Palin called everything under the sun including one very specific ‘implication’ she was a prostitute and a bunch more.") and twist it into some crap about how from that statement we can infer that Norm would believe some crap about Sarah?

There is no logic in your post. There is no connecting your post with what Norm stated and what Norm stated was the truth.

You posted that "I’m so tired of this crap. So few people left have any integrity. And they just make excuse after excuse."

IMO, the people without integrity are those who spout ABO and then denigrate those unwilling to support a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, even out of fear of the worst possible President we have ever had in Obama.

That is lacking integrity.

I only quoted Norm’s words describing ‘ABO’ers. If Sarah Palin promotes voting for anyone but Obama (making her a strong ABO’er), and said any of the republican candidates running are better than Obama (including Romney) don’t Norm’s insults apply to her also?

Who was your candidate in the primary and who are they backing now?

Sarah Palin supports Mitt Romney. Don’t your words apply to her also?

“You posted that “I’m so tired of this crap. So few people left have any integrity. And they just make excuse after excuse.”

Actually that was my quote ;)

“IMO, the people without integrity are those who spout ABO and then denigrate those unwilling to support a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, even out of fear of the worst possible President we have ever had in Obama.”

Absolutely true.

Having been through the PDS wars and the civil war of the primaries, these people really shouldn’t surprise me. But they do. I can only shake my head at what the ‘conservative’ movement has come to.

“I’m a conservative and I’m voting for a liberal to save the country”.

That’s what this mess boils down to. They can deny it, but here’s the facts.

1: they claim to be conservative.

2: Mitt Romney, regardless of his GOP affiliation, has a voting record that is unarguably liberal.

3: They are voting for him expecting him to reverse course on Obama policies and ‘save the country’ from them.

Ergo...
“I’m a conservative and I’m voting for a liberal to save the country”.

Is the bottom line. It’s a completely accurate summation of their ‘logic’. They cannot honestly deny that because the facts prove it. All they can do is justify themselves and attempt to ease their troubled conscience. And that justification comes in the form of railing those who refuse to abandon what they believe in. I will now ask another question that is sure to be ducked, dodged and spun.

“How does one ‘save their country’ by going against the very principles and ideas that founded the country?”

How does abandoning our stance on abortion save the country?
How does abandoning our stance on gay marriage and gays in the military save the country?
How does consistently giving up the things we believe make America, save America?

Those things alone show why the ABO stance is a recipe for disaster. Sure, Romney is going to win. But either way, America has lost. Not because of Romney, but because people have become a nation of people willing to elect a man with his ‘values’.

When a conservative looks to a liberal for solutions, wither conservatism has failed utterly or the ‘conservative’ has abandoned his beliefs. No other option.
