Go ahead yam, answer the man's question.
Why?
I am going to quote Justice Robert H Jackson to answer that question:
“The choice is not between order and liberty. It is between liberty with order and anarchy without either.”
All the romney bashers need to explain how a conservative can allow Obama to win re-election without abandoning his conservative beliefs.
Romney is advancing multiple conservatve position well to the right of Obama - on abortion, on immigration, on marriage, on taxes, on budgets (Ryan), on Obamacare (repeal vs implement), on national security, on energy (pro-pipeline vs anti-pipeline).
It’s bizarre, there are a lot more reasons/ differences in favor of Romney vs Obama compared with Bush v Gore. Romney is running more conservative than Bush was in 2000 and Obama is the most leftist president ever.
