Promoted from the diaries as a public service on behalf of conservative voters. For those who don’t know it, the author of this post is a self-described member of the Romney campaign.

Updated: Hey guys – this is Justin Hart. To be clear I am not a member of the Romney campaign nor am I paid by the Romney campaign. I welcome users of RedState.com to expand their understanding of the irony, comedy and satire in the picture below 🙂
While I have the attention of the front page I will ask:
- Romney has held consistent conservative values for years now. Â I would hope we welcome solid converts to the movement, right?
- Romney was endorsed by numerous editors here at RedState in 2008, and hasn’t taken a vote since then…what has changed since that time?
- Romney has a laudable and robust conservative fiscal plan and has promised to repeal Obamacare. Â Is that insufficient for you?
- He’s articulate, holds his own in debates and has the ability to win over moderates and even liberals who are disillusioned with Obama. Â That’s a good thing right?
Lastly, if not Romney… then who? There are 7 weeks to go.
Update 2: Since I’m still here on the front page I might as grab your ear for a minute more. Â I have a confession to make: I am a Newt Gingrich convert to conservatism. Â I remember in 1994 listening to Newt’s fantastic lectures on U.S. government from the University of Georgia broadcast over C-SPAN. Â These are the same lectures the Democrats used to push trumped up charges. Â Newt was later acquitted but not before the damage was done… and by damage I mean thousands of converts to Conservatism like myself.
I like Newt. Â I think he’s an articulate candidate who can debate anyone. Â My qualm is with the #notmitt crowd. Â I want them to stake a claim and support a candidate rather than the constant haranguing about the trust issues they have with Romney.
The supposed pain induced by the pic below was meant to stir discussion. Â It did just that.
Hey Justin, I understand your angst at being caught at this but your LinkedIn profile states otherwise.
Co-Chair, Faith and Values Committee
Romney for President, Inc.
Privately Held; 51-200 employees; Political Organization industry
2007 – Present (4 years)
Is this untrue? A yes or no will suffice.
Justin here again. It is not true. The line item you refer to was from the 2008 campaign and I just never put an end date to it. I rarely use LinkedIn but I’ll go ahead and make sure I make that change. Thanks for pointing that out and giving me this forum!
