“You posted that “I’m so tired of this crap. So few people left have any integrity. And they just make excuse after excuse.”

Actually that was my quote ;)

“IMO, the people without integrity are those who spout ABO and then denigrate those unwilling to support a lying, left-wing, Progressive Liberal, even out of fear of the worst possible President we have ever had in Obama.”

Absolutely true.

Having been through the PDS wars and the civil war of the primaries, these people really shouldn’t surprise me. But they do. I can only shake my head at what the ‘conservative’ movement has come to.

“I’m a conservative and I’m voting for a liberal to save the country”.

That’s what this mess boils down to. They can deny it, but here’s the facts.

1: they claim to be conservative.

2: Mitt Romney, regardless of his GOP affiliation, has a voting record that is unarguably liberal.

3: They are voting for him expecting him to reverse course on Obama policies and ‘save the country’ from them.

Ergo...
“I’m a conservative and I’m voting for a liberal to save the country”.

Is the bottom line. It’s a completely accurate summation of their ‘logic’. They cannot honestly deny that because the facts prove it. All they can do is justify themselves and attempt to ease their troubled conscience. And that justification comes in the form of railing those who refuse to abandon what they believe in. I will now ask another question that is sure to be ducked, dodged and spun.

“How does one ‘save their country’ by going against the very principles and ideas that founded the country?”

How does abandoning our stance on abortion save the country?
How does abandoning our stance on gay marriage and gays in the military save the country?
How does consistently giving up the things we believe make America, save America?

Those things alone show why the ABO stance is a recipe for disaster. Sure, Romney is going to win. But either way, America has lost. Not because of Romney, but because people have become a nation of people willing to elect a man with his ‘values’.

When a conservative looks to a liberal for solutions, wither conservatism has failed utterly or the ‘conservative’ has abandoned his beliefs. No other option.
