"It finally dawns on conservatives that if you get behind the best candidate running, you might actually move the ball down the field."
Yes! Yes! Yes!
Vote with your heart during the primers, but use your head during the general election. The time for posturing is behind us. From now one our country needs the kamikaze conservatives to help defeat Obama. Their principled battles can be re fought in the future.
The problem is you helping to move the ball down the field to score an own goal in your own in-zone to help the bad guys. Romney's ancestors were lifetime members of the board of directors of the Rockefeller Trust and thereby very early members of the New World Order conspiracy. Romney’s Bain Capital were contributors and supporters of the Obama campaign in 2008, and they supported radical Democrat candidates in previous elections. Romney has supported numerous planks in the most radical parts of the Democrat political platforms. Democrats, living and dead whether or not they were legal voters, voted as Republicans in the Republican primaries to make Romney the Republican candidate, with the assistance of RINOs. In the State of Washington, the Democrats in the state legislature eliminated the primary election as a supposed budgetary measure, while actually using the lack of the primary as a means of using the flawed caucus procedures to elect Romney with Democrats pretending to vote as Republicans.
Even if Romney were to win the General Election, conservatives and the Republican political platform are defeated by an inauguration of Romney and the failure to void the illegal acts of the illegal Obama Administration. Congratulations, you are cheer leading the ongoing destruction of the Republican Party, the Republic, and Constitutional rule of law.
