Add to the name-calling the bollixed syntax and god-awful grammar of OP. This is what the left does. They take a complicated question and reduce it to a cartoon version, then act as if they've scored a great intellectual coup. And they say that the right side of the aisle is the side of hicks, rubes, and the generally IQ-challenged.

The truth is that Romney evolved over the years from being a standard issue, green-job loving, gun-controlling RINO to being a genuine limited-gov't conservative. Look up his 2012 CPAC speech to learn about his evolution. After he won the nomination, instead of running back to the left, he continued rightward. He picked a hard-right conservative in Ryan, instead of the safe choice of Portman. Remember the '47%' comments? This was pretty close to the essence of the conservative, limited-gov't argument, and he said this when he thought he was off the record, when he was presumably expressing his most unvarnished thoughts.

So you are saying you dont even open the Conservative started threads on this site since they do the exact same thing ?

calling half of the nation lazy is moronic, no matter if you believe it is true or not.

Its only moronic if you're running for office. Romney was 100% right.

I would believe that argument if it wasnt for the fact that after the election, the biggest complaint from republicans was that he wasn't conservative enough. In fact I remember reading articles where during the campaign, there were still questions whether he was a true conservative.

how was I calling names? I'm just asking, if you guys are all about personal responsibility, why didn't michelle Bachmann get the nomination? She was part of the tea party.

Also, why even go off into the BS messiah arguments? why cant you have a civilized conversation without hyperbole ?
I did.

The fact that you think all Rs voted for Romney in the primaries might be the silliest thing I've ever read. It also proves you don't understand what you read/hear when primary wins were being announced.

I don't see where he called anybody anything, except to tag Bachmann as a loon, which she most assuredly is. I thought the question was valid, and I think the conservatives don't want to answer because it is obvious that there are not enough of them to elect anyone, period. All they can do is sulk and dream.

So, then you agree that all the posters that keep referring to liberals as "Obama Voters" is equally silly? What other choice was there in the election?

"Where was the personal responsibility to elect a true conservative?"

I suppose that would be the responsible thing to do if the entire electorate was comprised of conservatives but please by all means keep on voting for "true conservatives." This liberal will be forever grateful.
