Ok, I am reading your alleged answer to me on how a conservative can vote for a liberal.

First thing I see is this:

I do not necessarily answer this or other simple questions asked of me by the worst Mitt-haters on this site, because the fact is there are numerous posters here that have completely abandoned reason, honesty, and decency in their single-minded campaign to prevent the GOP nominee from being elected President.

Admitting you do not answer "simple questions", whatever that means.

Several lines disparaging reasoned conservatives, then this.

I believe he has very few conservative accomplishments in politics because his only office was as Governor of a Democrat-dominated state. In Massachusetts he got along by going along with liberalism.

Then you add:

I support him for President now, and believe that in doing so I am not setting aside my conservative principles, is because of the circumstances of this moment. I hope that the GOP will control both houses of the next Congress and that the tea party movement will exert substantial influence on the legislation that Congress passes and sends to Pres. Romney for signature.

The above statement still says nothing about how a conservative can vote for a liberal, except you HOPE he does the right thing.

Then this line comes along:

Romney says he will repeal Obamacare. I believe he will. Obama will not.

The real question is why do yo beleive him. He in essence wrote obamaCare, his advisers DID write it AND they have said Romney will not repeal it.

Then you continue by trashing FR and conservatives, making the claim you are a conservative and people who disagree with your analysis can not possible be anything but Romney haters.

So I realize you have declared you will not answer what in your mind are simple questions because it is a waste of your time, just pretend this is a really complimented question: how can you claim to be a conservative and vote for a liberal?

Well...”obviously” you missed the ‘nuance’ of his complicated thesis. So did I.

I’ll just stand by my statement, backed up by his diversionary rambling that he did in fact lie, that liars cannot be trusted by conservatives or anyone else valuing principle over situational ethics, and that he abandoned any conservatism he once had to back a full blown liberal.

Pretty sure his very statements that I and he posted show I’m not the liar here. ;)

I am Conservative enough to understand that there will be no magic moment at the convention when Newt waddles in and the crowd goes wild and babies get thrown in the air. Sadily I did not support Ronmey and do not agree with his moderate ideas. However I don’t live in California where it realy doesn’t matter if you decide to not select Mitt. Kalifornia will go Obama by such a large margin you have the freedom to stick with your principles. Simply Mitt is a better option than Obama. However while Texas has a strong republican party, Holder is blocking our efforts to stop illegals from voting, thus I vote against Obama while praying that Rand Paul announces the day after the election that he is running in 2016. Four more years of Obama is too much for this nation to take. There is no other logical choice. Mitt is bad, Obama is a disaster. A Pox on the whole damn thing. I fear 2008 will come back to haunt us again.
