It is like another talk with one of your more honest and gracious cohorts. Acknowledge his many warts, the fact that many of his Conservative creds are mostly just positions on a page right now but he really does mean what he says, and I am willing to give benefit of the doubt.
Trying to continue selling Mitt Romney as Mr. Conservative when he never got past 10-20% support on the leading Conservative web site on the planet until Fred and Hunter were gone is the true “false premise”.
Selling him as a man who desires to carry our banner into the fray, who has warts and a spotty Conservative history but will endeavor not to let us down because he is really now one of us, that plays much better to us in the conservative thinking crowd. We are not impressed with his looks or demeanor but with what he believes and will do.
One last thought. Romney needs us more than we need him. He is going to have a very rough time in the general. Think about that when you are ripping around here.
“Ripping around here”?
What the hell are you talking about?
