Romney is not, nor was ever a Conservative.

I agree.

He is for banning guns, homosexual marriage, Romneycare/Obamacare.

Romney is presently campaigning against all three of these things. Obama is in favor of all three. Those are the facts.

But hey, we’re supposed to just follow him, right?

No.

And then what?

My proposal is simple and has remained unchanged throughout this whole election (and prior elections as well). I think that conservatives need to take over control of the GOP from the grassroots up. We nominate true conservatives wherever possible in our primaries, then we support the GOP up and down the ticket on election day, then we hold all GOP officeholders accountable to conservative principles while in office, and target the RINOs in the primaries during the next cycle.

Rinse and repeat.

This approach is working. It is the only approach that can work. All of the doom-mongering is for fools and fantasists and commie double-agents.

The fact that we didn't get a conservative GOP nominee for President this cycle is to a certain extent a tragedy, but it does not justify abandoning reason.

We had Conservatives in this race, people like you chased them out.

Bullsnort! All of our declared candidates were deeply flawed. I worked for two of them (Cain and then Gingrich). I was ABR throughout the primaries and only became ABO once Romney pulled away with the nomination.

If you start by learning to say fewer false things, you might eventually learn to say fewer crazy and stupid things.

Hey, don’t blame me if you’re the one backing a guy who is for homosexual marriage, gun bans, and individual mandates.

Who gives a rat's behind what Romney says? What matters is what he has done and if he can be trusted.

You're gullible fool if you think Romney is going to stop gay marriage, put judges on SCOTUS that will overturn Roe and have the guts to stop the funding of Planned Parenthood. He doesn't have the conviction to do any of that.

You're parroting Rush, who has never held the Republicans feet to the fire once in his entire radio career.

The Republican establishment knows you're bluffing and will always vote for whoever they put up under the premise that Democrat is always going to be worse.

The time to hold Republicans accountable IS NOW. They need to be taught the lesson that nominees like Romney are unacceptable. When they learn that lesson, they will be more than happy to embrace conservatives like Scott Walker.

You keep doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different results. That makes you insane.
