So we're suppose to sit out the Presidential but vote for the congressional Republican candidates that you say would just roll over on any liberal legislation Romney would propose? Sounds like your just voting for RINOS down the line. And this helps how?

Your comments are so dispersed, I don't think I can respond to everything you said. But, let me try to address just a couple of points of logic here.

Try to understand human psychology. It's really not all that difficult. People may seem complex, but what makes them tick at their core, is usually pretty simple.

We send the best people we can to Congress, but they're just people. They're as flawed as any of us. Look at Free Republic, for instance. If there were ever a place where the straight dope on Romney was frequently published, and in great detail, it's this place. Yet despite the overwhelming body of evidence available on this website, you still have so-called staunch conservatives here, openly suggesting that we ignore everything we know about this man - throw our deeply held principles to the wind, and give him our vote.

Excuse the f**k out of me, but WHAT???

Well, that's exactly the same phenomena that will happen in Congress (who are even less well-informed than average Freepers) if Romney is elected. Do you really think the good people we send to Congress just suddenly go stupid when they get their first drink of DC water? No, they don't, but they do fall prey to the same kind of nonsensical social dynamics that are at play on this very forum.

This is why they'll roll over and allow Romney to do things they'd never let Obama get away with.

Here's the deal. The fat lady ain't sung yet in this primary battle. We've still got one conservative with a proven track record in this race. The way forward may be daunting at this point, but it's a whole lot less daunting than what the Founding Fathers faced in the mid 1700s.

We don't have to pledge our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor to get the job done. We only need to stay firm in our convictions and push the better man to the top, to win the day.

Do the math. Look at the upcoming states. Create a spreadsheet if need be. The fat lady has sung.

“nonsensical social dynamic” and “going stupid” to quote you= Same result, and shows lack of backbone and real conservative principles, so once again, how are these down ticket candidates worth voting for in your purist conservative world?
