That scenario fits me and, by the way, fits Jim Robinson. I don't think either one of us were liars, I think we were trying to make the best of a bad field of options in 2012.
People call George Bush a liar because there were allegedly no WMDs in Iraq. That was akin to calling a weatherman a liar because his prediction does not prove out. The only intelligent definition of a liar is:
One who knowingly tells an untruth
Laura Ingraham probably took similar positions to me in the primaries which was to support more conservative candidates-my choice at the time was Newt Gingrich-and to support Romney when the matter was virtually settled and the choice was no longer between an admittedly flawed conservative Republican and a Rino Republican but between a Rino Republican and a Manchurian Marxist.
Bill Buckley famously said that we should support the most conservative candidate who can win. Honest conservatives can and inevitably will disagree when it comes to the application of that doctrine but that does not make either side of the argument a liar. Can Senator Cruz win? I fear he can not win but I am going to support him as long as his candidacy is viable and no more conservative and electable candidate comes to the fore. That does not make me a liar but rather a prudent conservative.
I don’t know if you’ve read Ann’s column, Rocknqsranch, but it made me so mad! It’s short and contains pretty much nothing but lies about the MS run-off. Here it is:

Hottie? Really? I find her looks, body, et al disgusting. Other than the insane Bill Maher, who finds her attractive?
I’m not sure, but I don’t think Laz would hit that.
No, it doesn't fit. JR and you acknowledged his flaws and did not pretend that Romney was some great nobleman after he got the nomination. Every freeper knew there were a LOT of issues with him. Very few here gave him whole-hearted support.
You’re probably right. Tom got the looks in the family.
It's almost some theory by some guys smoking pot in college and getting drunk. How, on one hand, god is all powerful but on the other create the evil itself. OOOOH, dichotomy, ying/yang, the good/evil force...
I get confused! lol And if Lucifer is just a ticked off angel, then how did he get in? Heaven seems to have labor problems. Can you imagine the bureaucracy running the universe? Ask the Q
(I'm not going to sarc tag this...if anyone is offended get a life. It's just chat.)
I scratched my head over Sowell for months. I didn’t get it. Is he getting lazy in his old age? He never used such generic talking points before.
No actually, Jim never pushed anyone. They day he made his decision I told him I thought it was a huge mistake.
To my knowledge, and I looked, he never advocated for Mitt. He said we had to make our own decision. And that’s a huge part of why many didn’t leave that day.
That is a far different thing than what Inghram or Coulter or most of the rest did.
good questions
Funny thing, Anne attacks McDaniels for challenging voter fraud and corruption. By her own writing she is doing the very thing she claims McDaniels efforts will produce. Alienating voters and putting in jeapordy the RINOs chance at winning control of the Senate.
Methinks she is back at her previously held position as Prestitute and attack mouth for the Willard for Second Place team.
BUMP
Your memory is better than mine.
I also remember we were free to bash Romney when he deserved it
The only reason I remember it so well is because I was stunned. But I respected the fact that he said ‘We all must decide for ourselves’.
Although I agree with most of the things Ann Coulter says, I have always found her a little bit, "unhinged."
Michelle Malkin's beauty has always surpassed Coulter and Malkin never comes across as "unhinged."
I LOVED that when it came out ;)
“Mormons think that Jesus and Lucifer were brothers. How WRONG could the Mormons ever be with that? “
JOB 1 6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
Not a Mormon or defending their teaching, but the Bible says what it says....
Ann’s a lot like like Free Republic’s resident Obama Cassandras. They bleed Gee Oh Pee.
So they grimly warn against impeaching the biggest tyrant this country has ever known because it would be a waste of time and, well—just too much darned trouble.
As Mr. Boner put it, “Get your a**es in line!” and vote for Republicans who know their rightful positions: crawling on their bellies to Democrats.
Ann’s pedigree is that of a beltway conservative, she was mentored by those who defended Nixon in the 1970’s calling for “fair and balanced” news (the slogan used Fox News today) and interpreting that to mean that the “Fairness Doctrine” should be used as a weapon against enemies.
Nixon’s FCC did that shutting down a radio station owned by a preacher who led 200,000 people in Washington calling for military victory in Vietnam in opposition to Nixon’s appeasement of the Communists with “peace talks”.
The Nixon FCC also ruled against NBC News over a documentary on pensions but NBC only was grazed winning in the appeals court system.
I only read the excerpt yesterday as I was still fighting the old dysfunctional Dell Dementia. We finally got our new Inspiron online today, and dumped the old dialup for high speed WiFi. I’ll read the whole thing this time, and thanks for the link. (Then again....IF you got so mad....maybe I shouldn’t read it LOL)
