Nothing about Peggy Noonan, Meghan McCain or Kathleen Parker?

That’s only if one accepts the premise that the assholes are actually Republicans.

If they ever supported 0 then I doubt they were ever conservatives.

If you vote for Obama twice you’re not conservative. Heck if you vote for him once you’re either not a conservative or very gullible.

Well, as far as I know.. there were NO Conservatives that backed Obama.. and the only Republicans, were moderate Dems anyway.... Even some of the Libs are crossing over to Repub now to get away from Obama; Haven’t heard of that going to other direction...

The only reason these folks might be considered conservative is in contrast to the hard left of most Obamabots.

I consider them anything but conservative.

Oh they can be Republicans, from the candy ass wing of the party.

What they can't be is conservatives.

I doubt they are Republicans. They’re just commie libs who are too embarrassed to admit it.

There is no way any conservative would support Barack Obama. If they back BO, how can they be anything resembling ‘conservative’?

I always wait to see what Susan Eisenhower is going to do before I make any political decisions.

Any so-called conservative who backs anyone but Romney, whether it be Virgil Goode, or that Libertarian guy, or woman, is backing Obama.

This is not the time to make a statement vote, or boo vote, as Obama calls it. This is the time to stand up and be counted as the anti-Obama voter for Romney Ryan.

“If you vote for Obama twice you’re not conservative. Heck if you vote for him once you’re either not a conservative or very gullible.”

IMO, if you can stand to watch him, or hear his voice, for more than 30 seconds than you are not a conservative!

The one thing I truly don’t understand about American politics is the lack of an exclusion rule in the republican party.

There should be a great zot.

Kmiec is for national healthcare, a “family wage” and opposes war. All that ‘social justice’ nonsense.

He was never a conservative.

Oh boy, Romney can't count on the "conservative Harvard Law professor, who previously voted for the most leftwing President in US history" vote!

That's so shocking, somebody should write an article about it.

Oh, and let me guess, Colin Powell will once again vote based on the color of the candidate's skin, rather than the content of their character. He must be proud of himself.

Charlies Fried was also for nationalized healthcare and does notn think the government forcing you to buy something is against the Constitution.

....

not a conservative
