Conservative Hypocrisy - Romney's candidacy could destroy Conservative movement
April 14, 2012 | Ralph Mitchell

Posted on 04/14/2012 6:26:09 AM PDT by mitchell001

One by one, conservatives have endorsed Romney over Santorum and now Gingrich. This has exposed a dangerous hypocrisy. Whereas liberals thrive on hypocrisy, conservatives thrive on principle and ideas. When today's conservatives ignore principle and ideas and continue to do small talk about stay at home moms and GSA convention waste, instead of talking about Gingrich's big ideas of American Energy Independence and how to get there, they risk losing to the incumbent, Obama.

No, let’s hope it destroys the Republican Party. Let it go the way of the Whiggs.

If you think you're a Conservative, or want others to think you are, one of the more stupid things you could do is endorse Romney.

That proves you are not now, nor were you ever, a Conservative.

Wannabe's have endorsed that liberal hack, true conservatives wouldn't consider it!

No conservative has endorsed the RINO Romney.

Is a CONSERVATIVE for RomneyCARE?

I think not.

Is a CONSERVATIVE for Romney’s other CHANGES?

I think not.

No, it won't. If the conservative movement could survive the Nixon presidency, it can survive anything.

“There is only one option left. We all vote for Obama.”

After all, the only two viable paths are Socialist and National Socialist. Binary slave thought makes me spew. But then, a singular master of it once said:

“Make the lie big, make it simple, keep saying it, and eventually they will believe it.”

Party-line voters don’t like it when you point out that they’re being just like Boehner and McConnell for caving and supporting something (someONE, in this case) from the far left in the name of “compromise.”

I agree. I am tired of voting for the lessor of two evils.

You have 4 choices
Vote Obama
Vote Mitt
Dont vote
write in someone else

Only one has a chance of defeating Obama.

Heh. I still have a thank you card from him.

“No, let’s hope it destroys the Republican Party. Let it go the way of the Whiggs.”

It is going in a far more sinister path than that.

The principle of “the lesser of two evils” still exists in reality. Binary slave is a nice term for it. I have been a slave to the IRS for my whole life. So, as long as that
“Service” exists, we are not free and can never be.
