What “conservative cause?”

? The ones that would cause a freeper to vote for R, in swing states, like you said:

“If FREEPERS were true consistent conservatives, they would ONLY vie for Romney to win votes in states like Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida and similar swing states.”

So causes like a superior chance of getting pro-life judges on the supreme court if perhaps only done for political reasons (like a second term or campaign contributions), better chance of reversing policies that pay for abortions internationally for the same reasons. I am assuming those are some of the reasons that pastor Jeffress would hold his nose for Romney. Why else do you think he would hold his nose?

Basic upon what track record is Romney judge appointments deemed as a "superior chance?"

Only 9 of his 36 judicial apptmts in MA were Republican. Of those 9, how many of them were even "pro-life?"

Who can answer that question? And if you can't, you are generically arguing from silence (the track record doesn't reinforce your claims) & it sounds to me like you've just picked up a four-leaf clover and are holding it in your hands as you wish upon a lucky star that Romney may/might pick a pro-life justice or two.

Same reason other so-called conservatives are willing to vote for a liberal:
#1...they don't like Obama (which says absolutely NOTHING about who they are voting for;
#2...People want a "place at the table" -- they want a mythical self-projection that they themselves "made a difference" -- albeit how small...
...they don't want to see themselves as on the outside - leaving no difference whatsoever...

So voters in the overwhelming # of states ignore the reality of the electoral system & think they are voting @ the POTUS level to "make a difference." The fact is -- the overwhelming # of voters aren't -- at least @ that race level.
