Many here are conservatives. What do you think of your own party at this time?

I'm curious because Romney doesn't seem like a very strong candidate. Are you still loyal to your party even when someone like him is running for president?

a) isnt Romney leading in the polls?

b) i suspect most will remain loyal to their team regardless of anything. I believe posters on this forum are still apologizing for Obama today.

I think Romney's problem is that he's boring and fake not that he's not a conservative (although that might be fake too). If I was a conservative I would probably think about jumping ship because they try to be on the wrong side of history on everything.

I like to think of Jesus like a dirty old bum. He's comin' up to me, and I'm 'bout to sock him one, cause, you know, he's a dirty old bum, but then I say, "Wait a minute, there's something... I don't know, special about this guy."

Being a democrat is downright embarassing sometimes, but I'll steal the Hitchens rationale on the GOP : It's become morally and intellectually impossible to vote for them.

And Romney comes off as totally phony and so far removed from any typical American it's laughable. At least George Bush seemed like a "regular guy", and Obama is downright a cool president, but Romney just comes off as a fake ass snob who can't sing worth a crap.

Heh.

No, I'm saying that people who can't connect with voters in some way really don't have much of a chance. Remember Dukakis? Or George Bush Sr and the supermarket scanner fiasco?

I couldn't care less about most of that stuff, but you'd be surprised how many people do. Never underestimate the retard level of the masses.
