Or, put a lid on the ad hominems.
I stand by that, I said like,
I also said I would never vote Romey
I was wrong
I love America more than Conservatism, Palin was my first choice.
You are a traitor to America to not support Romney over Obama.
Reagan supported every Republican since Goldwater when he lived, and Romney is more conservative than some of those(Nixon,Dole,Ford) and more. Was Bush a fiscal Conservative?
I expect you're about as solid on that one as you were back when you said you'd vote for Obama before you'd vote for Jeb Bush.
Speaking of which, if Jeb was, for some reason, nominated instead of Romney as a compromise to conservatives at a contested convention, and since Jeb Bush hasn't remotely, not even in the neighborhood of the next galaxy, the standing, enacted liberal statist record of Romney ...
... would you still vote for Obama instead?
ABO is bad strategy. Look where it has got you intellectually.
“I love America more than Conservatism.”
Wow. That’s a concept I can’t get my head around. If America gives up its core values (aka “conservatism”) to survive, has it survived? No. If we lose who we are, we are dead.
Some things are just not negotiable, FRiend. There are some of us who cannot ever bend the knee to Rom-The-All-Mightney. Do you really think it helps to berate your own fellow conservatives for their sincerely held religious beliefs?
Because that’s what’s driving this. You actually want us to change religion for one night. But would you still respect us the next morning? You know you wouldn’t. We’d only have proved we had no religion at all. Anything you’re not willing to go to the mat for is just a preference, not a conviction.
Besides, it was people with non-negotiable convictions who founded this country. Principles and an unshakable commitment to God Almighty made this whole show possible. If you get rid of all that, you won’t have any country left to love.
If America gives up its core values (aka “conservatism”) to survive, has it survived? No. If we lose who we are, we are dead.
And ...

I pray enough folks wake up to the mistake of ABO before November.
Stopping what Obama stands for parallels American values.
Which of Obama’s values do you feel are American?
I trust Sarah Palin, Dick Cheney, Herman Cain, Rick Perry, Michelle Bachman : I trust their judgment on their 2012 pick.

You trust your heroes. I will trust God. We’ll see how that works out.

Thanks. I’d like to take credit for the preference versus conviction idea, but I borrowed it from some of the true heroes of the culture war. Back when homeschooling was unheard of, and they were dragging ordinary Christian parents before judges for keeping their kids out of the state schools, success as a conscientious objector came down to whether the homeschooling was a preference or a conviction.
As I recall, a judge would test the level of commitment by asking what penalty you’d be willing to endure for your belief. If you buckled at any point, it was judged a preference, not a conviction, and you lost. But many brave parents were so sure it was the right and the only thing to do, that they could not be moved. They had convictions. And they are the reason homeschooling today is not only legal, but accepted and relatively easy in most jurisdictions.
Courage is least popular when it is most needed.
“I’ll never vote for that double-talking, two-faced, lying, mandate loving, gun grabbing, homo loving, abortion supporting POS.”
I’m not voting for Obama either.
I am voting for the guy who will repeal Obamacare, opposes gay marriage, wants another Scalia on the court, and will not hike our taxes and bankrupt our country - Romney.
So what in Romney's pitiful, two-decade long RINO record of "public service" leads you to believe that he's actually going to do any of that?
Specifics please.
