re: #438 iceweasel

We were never at your word against mine— except in your bizarre idea that if you posted a single WSJ opEd it would refute my claim.

Wrong then, wrong now.

I like that you’re pretending that Romney was condemned by the right though, and that RomneyCare was. He was a Dem primary candidate, right? //

no, i was asking if the WSJ op-ed pages counted as a representative example of “popular conservative opinion” on a subject. because i admit that i’m too lazy to go find 15 articles…i’d rather just agree to disagree.

and i liked Romney as a candidate out of a sense of practicality…isn’t that the sort of centrist thing you’re dying to see out of the right…considering a candidate who may not share every single view of their base?

don’t slam narrow thinking on conservatives’ part if you aren’t prepared to applaud efforts to accept a broader spectrum of opinions. if considering Romney as a candidate = i like Obamacare, then fuck it, i might as well vote for Rubio.

(that’s where this is heading…i’d rather just say that i prefer centrist candidates without having to be tarred as supporting every single opinion of theirs)
