While conservatives were fighting the good fight, he was taking dirty money from Barney Frank Fannie Mae and extolling the virtues of Nancy Pelosi. He doesn't deserve to come pretending tpo be one of the conservatives he hates.
I believe he stated that in the debate with George & Diane.
IF you want to stay on the social issues then expect to keep losing. McCain did it too, did you vote for him OR Obama?
Republicans have a choice between Rick Santorum and Rick Perry.
I lean heavily towards Santorum, but could accept Perry.
I don't expect perfection of any political candidate, since all of them are politicians.
Either Rick S. or Rick P. are acceptable as the Republican nominee for POTUS, IMNSHO.
I really don't care what current game the unelected, union steward equivelants of the “official” Republican Party have planned.
And no, Romney will not get my vote if he does become the the latest winner of the lessor of two evils selection.
