Whether we "like" Romney or not is almost irrelevant.Without a miracle he's the nominee.

The rinos won again.

I don't have time to get into what it takes to become a nominee-- the money, organization,dedications,compromises, etc etc.If we have not picked up on that yet we need to. Conservatives can and will become potus. We just have to get into the arena with everything it takes to get the nod.

For me its not much of a contest between Romney and zero.For others it seems to be a tougher choice.

So okay, true. Here's the thing. I'm unclear why anyone can criticize anyone else for their position on Romney.

At least not fair thinking people at any rate.

It's not like those who are vehemently anti-Romney have no basis for their intensity. We've had Dole, McCain, Gerald Ford....even Dubya ruled across the aisle to the dislike of many Conservatives. McCain, the moderate's moderate, he who proudly called himself a MAVERICK....it could be argued that McCain brought us Obama

So this year, after holding our noses and voting for McCain, we get another fine "moderate" in the form of Romney and so many out there have had enough.

A reasonable argument can be made that against Obama, ANYBODY would be better. An equally reasonable argument can be made that McCain was the last moderate they'd pull that lever for.

The most abused amongst us eventually fight back, eventually walk away from endless lies on endless lies.

So why get mad at them? Call them names? They're not unreasonable people; they've had enough. And they just might be right.

On the other side, there's a bunch, me among them, who will, given the extraordinary circumstances of this upcoming election, will pull that lever for a "moderate" pretending to be a Conservative.

Reasonable arguments would include that the country could not stand another Obamer term, that this time it will have to be Romney, he's better than the communist and his tribe of thugs any day.

WE HEARD THIS BEFORE, the other side will say. Indeed, mine own fine Mike Castle....he was complained about for decades. "Just one more time," we were told, so we pulled the lever, we nominated him at the convention. "He's getting ready to retire," the whispered, so we figured, okay, let him retire proud and with dignity.

BUT WAIT! Then we hear that Mike Castle is NOT only NOT going to retire, he WANTS A PROMOTION!

So hey, both sides of this equation have an equal right to their decision and it makes us look like dolts to lambaste the other, call them names, cast unfair aspersions upon them. Make your argument and stop being an a**hole about it.

And RG, you somehow got lassoed into this argument when by me, you are not part of what I think to be a problem. My sense is you have complete respect on the vast citizenry who consider themselves Conservatives so don't think any dismay I have is directed at you.

The name calling and accusations ain't helping a thing.
