Well, I just didn’t have many options left. Most all other large conservative sites had already stopped resisting. The other candidates and potential candidates: Perry, Bachmann, Cain, Gingrich, Santorum, even Palin, DeMint, West, Walker and just about anyone who would potentially be the miracle candidate to come out of the convention had already endorsed Romney. Most of the conservative pundits and talkers endorsed him including Coulter, Malkin, Hannity, Rush, Levin, Reagan; Ingraham, et al. Even the pro-life, pro-family sites were endorsing him. Even the Christian sites. And many of the tea party groups. I was beginning to feel like the Lone Ranger here. It was pretty damn drafty with my butt hanging out there like that with only a few holdout sites left and our dear loyal supporters here on FR. And I was seriously losing sleep over this. My opinion of Romney has not changed one iota, but I now think it is more important that we wipe out the Marxists if we can this election and take on the RINOs in the next battle. My personal opinion is not important, especially if we’re just a small group of devout resistance fighters and holdouts. Guess I’ll reluctantly have to join Palin, Levin and the others and go all in with our last choice, last chance candidate. It sucks but there it is. But if he pulls a McLame on us, we’re pretty much done for. Praying for the best.
The squabbling among FReepers has likely wounded you. Nurse your wounds. Regain your strength. No matter which of these major party POS candidates wins in November, America loses for the next four years (a fait accomplis since Mittler wrapped up the nomination) and there will be plenty of role for you personally and for FR to play.
Romney will certainly "pull a McLame on us." The entrenched habits of his lifetime will prove impossible to break. That does not mean that "WE are done." My Savior and yours liveth. Neither Romney nor Obozo can change that. We are called to be His servants and not theirs. He does not insist that we win only that we try and try as hard as we know how.
The Resistance started here and it is likely to continue here. It should be expanded to resist and destroy McConnell, Boehner, Cantor, McCarthy and their ilk as well.
God bless you and yours and all others of good will who post here in good faith.
