Lake, I’ve respected the way you’ve been fair with me in our conversations. I have every reason to give you the benefit of the doubt. At the same time, the same venerable gentleman, iirc, said: “Trust...but verify.”
To repeat, I’m not particularly interested in tearing down Romney at this point. I no longer see a 2-front war as viable. Therefore, I’m concentrating my fire on the Obama front.
I have no regrets beyond what could have been.
In twenty-twenty hindsight none of the conservative candidates could break out from the others, and unfortunately it was Romney who waltzed in and benefited as the conservative circular firing squad kept up its rounds. "We have met the enemy and it is us."
It is what it is, we have a candidate we don't particularly trust. He is trying to unseat what I consider to be the most evil and destructive administration of our lives, and for that reason alone I fall in line. More often than not I have been pleasantly surprised by Romney's campaign pronouncements, but it will take a track record in office for them to gain my trust.
