Mitt Romney gave everyone a lesson this week on what conservatism should be all about. It should be about the country and not self.
It has been extremely disappointing to hear the rantings of some of the “spokesmen” for the conservative cause. Their irresponsible and shocking statements since John McCain has become the presumptive nominee, have demonstrated that they are not true conservatives, for why would a real conservative vote for Senator Obama or Clinton, or not vote at all thus allowing one of them to win?
There are some things that are certain and undeniable. For example, as a conservative I am concerned about "the issue of life." President Bush has given us two conservative Supreme Court Justices. Why would I now decide that this issue no longer matters, and be fine with the idea of Obama or Clinton appointing the next two? If one feels this way, then I would submit that they are not a true conservative and care nothing about abortion. I would submit that they have become so dedicated to self and their own views, that what happens to the country no longer matters.
Conservatives should look at Romney’s example of selfless conservatism, and realize that in spite of all of our differences, it is our country that matters to us most of all.
May God bless America.
