You must resent how easy it is for conservatives...

Thank goodness it is easy, because it would otherwise exceed the somewhat limited capacity of the members of your merry band.

Oh, conservatives, is that what you Romney loathers are? No telling what is prompting the anti-Romney obsession, but conservatism it isn't.

Deep man, really deep, personal attacks is what the Romney supporters offer, I see it on every Romney thread and I think that fence sitters see it as well.

Clearly, it depends on how you define "conservatism." In my book, it is limited government principle BECAUSE it is solely the path to social and fiscal conservatism. Expanded government decays social and fiscal morality. Expanded government perverts morality when it forces taxpayers to fund abortions and prohibits them from rejecting open homosexuality in their daily lives, whether it's their workplace or their kids' schools or an online dating service ala eharmony.

Expanded government exploits taxpayers, squanders their labor, frustrates prosperity, shackles innovation, and raises real costs of everything.

Inconsistency results from lack of the grasp of the principle of self-dependence and self-government, the goal of limited government. "Social conservative" versus "fiscal conservative" is futility itself. I once had a successful East Coast businessman tell me with a straight face that he was a social liberal but a fiscal conservative.
