Risch would have had my support if he hadn’t campaigned for Mitt Romney, the most liberal Governor in the history of the republic.

That would have been an awesome comparison: Who had more liberal policies, Romney as governor of Massachusetts or FDR as governor of NY?

(And how come I’m always thinking of these things about two months too late?)

I personally think that basing your support for people based on who they were willing to support is a great way to ensure that no conservative ever gets elected.

Of course, I think supporting “conservatives” who have no chance of getting elected because they are fundamentally flawed and incapable of actually doing the job that you are electing them to is also a great way to destroy the conservative movement.

Refusing to support a conservative because he trusted a man to keep his word when you didn’t — well, maybe you shouldn’t vote for them because you don’t trust their judgment, but maybe if they otherwise were worthy of your support, they were actually smarter and more correct than you as to judging character.

But I guess nobody will stop you from an eternal vendetta.

BTW, the fact that you believe someone who said Romney was the most liberal governor ever causes me to question your judgment. That statement is utterly and verifiably false, and rediculous on its face.

Even simply comparing governors at the time he was governor, he was solidly in the middle of the rankings, not anywhere near the most liberal.

You don't get out much, do you?

Mitt Romney, the most liberal Governor in the history of the republic.

You know, and I know that this is a brainless contention. You and the rest of the folks on this site who just couldn’t get over Mr Romney, apparently still can’t get over it.
