That's just mealy-mouth bs. Either you've got core convictions, or you don't. You stand for something, or you don't.
When is it practical to abandon your principles? When you're trying to win an election? When you're trying to smooth down the feathers of the other side in the legislature? When you're trying to ensure favorable treatment for your business interests after you leave office? When you're trying to be all things to all people? When?
Mitt Romney is a worthless, spineless flip-flopping liberal, who has broken faith with us and everything we stand for. He can go straight to hell, and you can tag along if you're trying to apologize for his transgressions on Free Republic.
Since you speak for FR I feel compelled to bow down before you. And perhaps some day we can laugh about all this after we have turned this nightmare around.
