“How can a conservative vote for Romney without abandoning his conservative beliefs?”
WF Buckley answered your question decades ago.
His rule - Vote for the most conservative viable candidate. Viable options (potential winners) are: Romney, Obama.
Thus, the correct conservative choice is Romney. This does the least harm / most good for conservatives.
You continue to advocate conservative principles before during and after the election, disagreeing with the President whenever he does a non-conservative thing, whether its Obama or Romney.
That’s how.
Wrong.
His logic only works with two relatively conservative candidates. We are not in that position.We have Far and Farther Left.
Voting either in is supporting the far or farther left and NOT conservative.
