Notary,
There’s a lot one may discuss is your post (e.g -”Romney supporters...my wife’s family is chock full of them. They like a candidate who is “conservative” in personality and image, not necessarily so much in ideology”-—)
They vote for someone who has a conservative personality??? Well, that explains a lot about the mess we’re in, doesn’t it?” LOL
Look, I never “zotted” anyone, nor participated in one. I hadn’t uttered 1 bad word about any candidate, though Lord knows I’ve been tempted.
But. the relevent question to you:
1. Is Mr. Obama/Dem Party avowed socialist(s)
2. Is the GOP Establishment (including Romney) a plutocracy- they unconstitutionally help the rich at the expense of the rest of the country.
That’s my concern. The unreceptive attitude to alternate arguments you inveigh against, does not apply to me, my friend.
Now, any site's owners are allowed to do that, (OK, Jim?) If I started a site and wanted to limit it to only atheist, pro-life, NASCAR fan, pro-drug legalization conservatives who opposed TARP and want to nuke Mecca, that's my privilege.
But having done that, I don't have much ground to claim that I represent "the only true conservatism" and start yelling "Conspiracy!!!" every time that GOP registered voters pick a candidate that does not reflect my exact menu of opinions.
