Prey tell then, what is the "real reason" FR advises voting against Romney? I thought it's because he's really not all that much different than Obama, but now I'm eager to hear the "real reason". Please expound.
So now you are “they”, but you have it wrong just like “them”.
You're not making sense again. The "they" in 1979 were the ones who said a "real conservative" like Reagan couldn't win. Just like you're saying we shouldn't vote for the most conservative candidate today. "They" ain't me, "they" is you.
Anyone who thinks he's saving his kids or grand kids by electing Mitt Romney president isn't using his brain. Nationalized healthcare, abortion, gay marriage, liberal courts, higher taxes, and the expansion of the nanny state will not save your offspring. Unfortunately, there are enough people not using their heads, like you, and too many conservatives splitting the vote, to ensure a conservative runs on the Republican ticket. Mitt Romney/Barack Obama...what the hell is the difference?
But you don't give a rats ass about a conservative pedigree. All you want is charisma. Used car salesmen don't have charisma. It's something very different. You are hopelessly confused.
“The “they” in 1979 were the ones who said a “real conservative” like Reagan couldn’t win.”
Got that. You are missing the point again though. Mr. Reagan was conservative AND charismatic. If the latter characteristic is absent, it’s over. Two of these qualities are better than one, but the necessary one is NOT conservatism in order to be elected . . not in this culture.
“You’re not making sense again.”
Used car salesmen sell cars. That’s what we got in ‘08. If we want to get rid of Obama, that’s what we need to win this. Your mistake is not seeing the reality of our voting public as it is. Hoping that more voters will see it the “conservative” way is a huge leap of faith. Which will insure that we get Obama back for another term. I don’t want that more than settling for a less than perfect candidate.
The best in the new year to you . . hopefully, it will be the beginning of a new administration as well.
