As did I. I had reservations, but would have gladly voted for any of the three.
The problem is that the CINOs actions reinforced Romney’s lifetime of stupidity and two full campaigns/tens of millions of dollars worth of lying and corruptly trashing his opposition, by running around FR and elsewhere praising his ‘conservatism as if he were Obama at the Greek Pillars and condemning anyone not on board as ‘traitors to their country’. We were called ‘purists’ and condemned for sticking to conservative ideals and beliefs. Since the opposite of purity is corruption, I wear the badge proudly.
None of the above CINO BS is remotely conservative. People who did so are not remotely conservative. They are the enemy every bit as much ‘our’ problem as a person openly supporting the bullshit of Bohner and the GOP.
Words mean things whether CINOs want them to or not. “Conservative’ requires conservative actions, not feel-good words. And by their actions, determining truly conservative people is not hard to do.
If people are either too stupid or too willfully ignorant to tell the difference, then Conservatism is dead and lets just embrace the greater evil.
Part of the blame for the loser Mitt’s nomination should go to bona-fide skanks, Jen Rubin and ann Coulter, piss be upon them!
