If they pay it any mind at all, I would say the chances are good that some of the symptoms I'm talking about will manifest themselves quite clearly on this very thread...

[Shery]

As a nurse, I know all these. I’m just wondering what, as a conservative, I’m in denial about over Romney. The writer conveniently didn’t state that.

[EternalVigilance]

I don’t know your individual situation vis a vis support for the most liberal governor in U.S. history, so I can’t answer your question. Sorry.

[DBrow]

But EV, he had to set up gay marriage! He had no choice! lol

[icwhatudo]

simple denial: deny the reality of the unpleasant fact altogether

I deny that Romney is the only person that can stop Obama. Sarah Palin working with secret forces in the Newt camp will force a brokered convention!

minimisation: admit the fact but deny its seriousness (a combination of denial and rationalization)

I admit Obama will win if I go third party but it won't be so bad.

projection: admit both the fact and seriousness but deny responsibility.

Yes, Obama will win if many conservatives throw away their votes, but its not my fault that Obama will win.

Was that what you were looking for? ;)

It’s true. I have friends and family who don’t want to hear me talk about Romney’s record. I think the less they know, the more comfortable they will be pulling the lever for him.

[icwhatudo]

Please note the winky... Things have been a little too heated round here lately.

The writer conveniently didn’t state that.

The writer / author of this article is running for POTUS from the "America's Party",whatever that is..I'm guessing a Ron Paul splinter faction.

[rogue yam]

...the most liberal governor in U.S. history...

What a load! The Mittster is not even the most liberal Massachusetts Governor of the last decade.

I'm guessing a Ron Paul splinter faction.

Bad guess.

And I'm Tom Hoefling, by the way.

[NonValueAdded]

It’s not the Republican Conservatives that I’m worried about, it is the GOP-e who are pushing yet another RINO. The fact that there is still continuing opposition to the anointing of Romney as the candidate belies the headline.

Man!!! You are so looking inside the window of my mind! :D

[P-Marlowe]

This is a confusing and poorly written article. I don’t know who this guy is but it appears that he is running for president of something.

If we are going to elect a third party president then we need to gel around a single electable party candidate that has national experience. Virgil Goods fits that bill.

Can't vote for him, but refuse to continue the attacks on him (no matter how well deserved) because it no longer serves a positive purpose. He'll either replace Obama or he won't. Either way, we still have our work cut out for us and need to redirect towards House/Senate/Local Gov't seats to try to give us some edge for the future.

[DBrow]

Well said.

[Celtic Cross]

Are you really?

[EternalVigilance]

What a load! The Mittster is not even the most liberal Massachusetts Governor of the last decade.

Name one other U.S. governor in history other than Mitt Romney who did all the following:

Banned guns.

Signed socialized medicine, complete with $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions, into law.

Completely homosexualized state government and the public schools.

Unilaterally instituted "gay" "marriage," in breach of the clear provisions of his own state's constitution.

[Jack Hydrazine]

Romney pretty much has the nomination locked up and I am definitely not going to vote for him. Instead I am going to write in Sarah Palin’s name.

[EternalVigilance]

Yes.

[Texas Eagle]

Yeah, yeah. Whatever, Dr. Freud.

Just to be safe, let's get as many Tea Partiers as possible elected to Congress and the several statehouses. Whaddaya say?
