One thing Slick Willard’s candidacy revealed is that it ended up outing a lot of people we thought were Conservatives that proved to be anything but. Those that put looks, lies and bucks ahead of a substantive Conservative record. People that a year or two ago I thought were giants (Coulter, Tancredo) turned out to be nothing but little weasels.
And Leisler, I’d disagree with the “fairly decent” description. I contend he is not a nice man in the least, and in his quest for power in attempting to avenge his father, he sold his soul. When I look at him, he not only seems to lack substance, he appears soulless. Very unattractive indeed. (Funny thing is, if he had used a fraction of the ruthlessness in whoring after the Presidency and channelled it into doing something positive as Governor, he might not have left the MA GOP dead and the state in total shambles).
Huckabee has torpedoed any chance that Romney will be on the ticket. Huck let it be known that he would not be campaigning for Romney.
On a certain level, I agree with you. Its tough to accept the fact that so many high profile conservatives were willing to sell out to support liberals and moderates. Calling them weasels is one thing. Abandoning their ideological roots during the GOP primary season, just might warrant a label of traitor to the conservative cause.
Another thing his condidacy revealed was how some people, supposedly conservative, can be so filled with misinformation and hate.
Myth and F***abee are both liberals, as far as I’m concerned.
Er, we could survive a President Romney. He would advance, for the children, or health, or whole milk, or UN brotherhood the usual RINO/HW Bush/Establishment crap. It’s all he knows.
The notion that he is, or ever was, conservative is Soviet in its untruth.
