RE: just what the hell does a true conservative want to conserve, these days?
Answer: Faithfulness to the constitution.
As for raising more money to win, a person who has his convictions and his serious about the presidency would consider this irrelevant. Mitt Romney can raise a trillion dollars for his campaign for all I care, it would not make a dent on my impression of him. HE WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR ROMNEY CARE AND STILL BELIEVE THAT IT WAS (IS) THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
No amount of money will make me vote for him on that record alone.
If raising more money makes one win in this country, then I am afraid that there’s a problem with most American voters.
Well said. But is Romney care any more unconstitutional than a succession of Presidents finding work-arounds to avoid a formal declaration of war before bombing and invading elsewhere?
