I think you are right . Why should we believe that Romney will be that much different as president than he was as governor?
Conservative Republicans are like the stereotypical battered wife. We just keep coming back for more because we don’t know any better and cant imagine that it could be any better. But it is hard to walk away from the one that you know for the unknown.
We keep talking about blacks needing to get off the Democrat Plantation. At some point conservative Republicans need to follow our own advice.
Wrong. There is no unknown. There are two scenarios. Romney wins, or Obama wins. Our other chances were in primaries. I tried. I voted for Santorum in Michigan.
If Conservatives protest and vote for third party, Obama wins. Period. Worse yet, it's a four year lame duck Obama.
Third parties since 1856 have failed to get anything close to a plurality in congress, senate, or the presidency. Even Teddy Roosevelt failed as a third party. They were a failure, are a failure, and will likely always be a failure for many reasons, and I'll be happy to go into detail about it at another point.
At some point conservative Republicans need to follow our own advice.
No, what conservative Republicans need to do is get off their butts, stop complaining, and get involved in the party and party apparatus and start thinking long term.
