If not Romney, then who? Obama? Really? Levin is a fine, fine man. I take his view on Cruz very seriously. But criticize him for supporting Romney? Are you serious? We need all hands on deck to get rid of Obama.

I can count the number of conservatives (or self proclaimed conservatives) that had Romney as their number one (or even second) choice going into the primaries on one hand. Like you said, now that Romney will be the nominee there is only one sensible vote to cast.

Yep. I would have preferred Romney wasn't the nominee, but he is and Texas didn't get to weigh in before the issue was settled. Now that its between a dedicated socialist who doesn't like the country as it was founded or a soft Republican, I'll go for a soft R. If he does a terrible job, we can always hope a true conservative challenges him in the primary in 4 years...but I do know one thing about Romney. As much as I don't like some of his opinions, he cannot do a worse job than Obama has.

Paulbots and liberals call Mark Levin the pejorative "neocon" (which is funny, because Mark Levin has voiced opposition to many of the overseas interventions/actions by the Obama admin, often in agreement w/ Ron Paul).

The second I hear the word "neocon" used, it pretty much lets me know I can safely ignore whatever follows. I've never met 2 people with the same definition for the word (some say its those who favor foreign intervention, some say its a "social conservative", or a bankster, or someone who works for halliburton, etc...). Its a made up, non descriptor used SOLELY as a way to insult a conservative or Republican without articulating what it is he stands for that you have a problem with.




*As a disclaimer*

Some may look at my own posts and see that I refer to liberals as statists. The difference is, since leftists and liberals support more government intervention in most any level of life and business, calling them statists merely describes their support for govt power and control. Calling someone a "neocon" is like calling them a "doo doo head". It means nothing beyond an insult.
