But why are you attacking conservatives who continue to oppose him and cheer his demise? You admit he's not a conservative, at least. Try to have some civility, if we truly are on the same side.

Because, if you are cheering for a Romney demise, you will get McCain. And he will destroy the Republican Party, conservatism, and the country. I think he would do far more damage than a Democrat in office. The party is already falling apart -- with McCain as the nominee, all hell will break loose. As a conservative, where will you go then? We will have no place to go. And with McCain in office, every liberal policy he endorses with the Democrats will tarnish the Republican Party. Just as he has done in the Senate all these years.

I see a McCain nomination or presidency as doing much more damage to our long-term goals than a flip-flopper or even a Democrat in office.

I assumed you were pro-McCain, based on your post. Is that not true?

I’ll be voting Hunter or Thompson in my primary, most likely. But I could vote for McCain in a general election, where Romney is just such a blatant liar and opportunist that I cannot and will not vote for scum like that. I would much rather have a relatively honest pol with some liberal positions than a slimeball. But Romney is a slimeball who still has liberal positions, which puts him way beyond the pale.
