“By polite, persistent & persuasive appeals to Romney’s strengths as a “problem solver,” we have both our best chance to move him in the right direction, while moving others in the right direction. Why? Because the Conservative position on all issues is based upon human experience—what actually works for the betterment of all. We need to calmly appeal to reason, not denounce those who are only partly on our side. Those partly on our side are the most obvious ones to recruit next!”

PURE SOPHISTRY. You make the assumption that Romney has strengths...he DOES NOT. NO Romey is NOT the answer to OBAMA. He is as bad as Obama. He cannot be moved to the right....he is NOT subject to persuasion.

Just say no to Obama!
Just say no to Romney!

Vote third party this cycle...and concentrate on getting conservatives elected to House and Senate and again in 2014. This election to already lost in regards to the position of POTUS. Romney is NOT an acceptable candidate...he is a country club GOP establishment candidate and DOES NOT represent the REAL party base - he will DESTROY conservatism. It is best to punt until 2016 when we have a chance to get a REAL conservative as the GOP candidate.

You are in serious denial, and in that posture, you not only hurt Romney--which is obviously part of your intention;--but hurt the ability of all of us to win over those who have bought into the Leftwing social dogma that is undermining America. We have to persuade a great many, who do not now agree with us, or all is going to be lost.

Of course, Romney has strengths. How do you think he has succeeded in business, in politics, with the Olympics. In the areas that have drawn his attention, he has focused on the controlling facts. His statement about the Boy Scouts suggests that it is very possible that he has not considered the actual underlying factors involved; factors discussed in Boy Scouts.

But, if our only approach is to insult all those who are not completely with us, we are not going to get their attention in the right way.

Every time that Romney succeeded in any venture, he did so by being subject to some form of persuasion. He didn't just flip a coin; he analyzed something. We need to politely get him to analyze the issues on which he is not with us. That may be difficult; but the idea of giving the Left another 4 years to undermine the possibility of ever restoring traditional values can not be acceptable.
