While, I certainly appreciate what you say, if I were you I wouldn't be quite so certain.
As evidenced in this and other articles and recent interviews, it seems that quite a number of Tea Party supporters are already beginning coalesce.
So, the question is this: if MR does exactly as I have proposed, will you still be sitting on the sidelines, while the rest of us have the best chance that conservatives will have had in recent memory to shape the debate and the outcome thereof?
The response from you cannot be, "He won't."
You're right he won't.
His record does not support it, that is my direct answer to your hopeful and lacking in historical context scenario.
If he were to magically change his spots and turn into an actual conservative, I'd support him.
But nothing in his record supports your head-in-the-sand hopeful scenario.
This is the actual record of Mitt Romney, minus all of his lies:
Agamemnon:
... if MR does exactly as I have proposed, ... SoConPubbie: ... I'd support him.
That's right.
It took a few understandable twists and turns, but as I posited, ...if MR does exactly as I have proposed, ...
... even SoConPubbie will eventually support MR.
Now that your thinking has been able to grasp some of the bigger picture, you might ask yourself if MR had only 1/2 the people I just proposed for cabinet and higher offices, would you prefer to have MR picking USSC justice replacements, or Obama?
You can't say "neither," because if you are intellectually honest with yourself you already realize that it is impossible to say "neither," because, unless all justices are alive and kicking for the next 4 years the choice only comes down to this.
So, without any bobbing and weaving, just answer the question.
FReegards!
