Jim, not to burst any balloons or shoot any unicorns down, but you cannot be a Mittbot in March 2012 and be a Conservative Republican.

Does not compute.

Compute this. I've been a conservative for many decades and have repeatedly stated on these forums, apparently to no avail, that I never considered Mitt Romney a conservative. He was never my choice in the primaries and I did not vote for him. However, the primaries are long past. Whining about Romney and helping the left beat him with Obama is a foolish waste of time. It's painfully obvious that conservatives (the TEA party) have to wrest control of the RNC from the elites that manipulate the primary selection process that renders a McCain and a Romney as the GOP candidate. That's for the future. Now, Obama must be removed and the only way we have to do that is by defeating him in the presidential election. Romney is the candidate designated to accomplish this, as I expect he will.

I didn't want him, you didn't want him but he is our only real choice unless you want to ride the anti-Romney unicorn, sit home and pout on election day while telling other life-long conservatives that in your exalted opinion, they aren't 'real' conservatives if they vote for Romney. You can drop the condescending 'Romneybot' label while you're at it. I'm about as far from that as as possible and I'm fed up with 'holier-than-thou' FReepers playing that game with anyone who doesn't toe the anti-Romney line on FR. That anti-Romney rubbish helps no one but Obama and I won't be a part of it. If Jim Robinson wants his website to reflect The Daily Koz or The Huffington Post and be 24/7 anti-Romney, that is his prerogative. I don't chose to play that losing game.

Jim Scott.....Jim Robinson wrote this some days ago to a disgruntled ABO like yourself. You need to read it:

“I’m very sorry to lose you, but I cannot bring myself to support Romney who for more than thirty years of his adult life (by his own admission) advocated that abortion should be safe and legal in America. He explained that he had believed that since 1970 when his mother ran for the Senate on that platform. Also, he claimed that since Roe v Wade had been in existence for twenty years, it was settled law and should be sustained and supported as such and swore to do so. That plus the fact that he boasted that he would be better for gay rights than Ted Kennedy. And proved it. And the fact that he advocated for and signed into law a socialized healthcare program that eventually morphed into ObamaCare and is now threatening to end constitutionally limited government in America with the traitors on the Supreme Court upholding it. Romney’s entire career was that of a leftist liberal progressive. I cannot support the man. I cannot support the GOP’s sudden lurch to the left.”

Jim Scott - If you don’t like the direction of FR then maybe you should stop posting. Your “pragmatic support” of Romney just doesn’t wash anymore.

Thank you for posting that. More elegant than what I was going to write.

The circular firing squad in here is getting hard to tolerate. Given there are only TWO possible winners in November, either one votes for Obama or Romney. Mitt was my last choice, but the alternative goes against everything this nation stands for.

Bottom line: if you want to vote third party to prove some ideological point - just vote Obama, and join the communist party - same thing. Yeah, Mitt isn’t a rock-ribbed conservative, but he’s proud to be an AMERICAN. Can you say that for Obama? Hell no. Virgil Goode has absolutely no chance in Hell of becoming the President. Get over yourselves. I’m no “Mittbot”, flame away all you want.

Mitt is doing his level best to lose the election. Time to remove him from the race BEFORE the convention.

And the point was about some doufous who claimed he was a Conservative before March this year and then he chose to do Romney's bidding.

I"m sorry, that just writes you out of Conservatism so fast you wouldn't believe it.

Now, were you a Mittbot before Virginia's March primary?
