I agree about Romney as I voted for him in the primary but your point is still wrong. First, I am not convinced Romney would have beaten Obama anyway. There was just too much of a headwind for the Republican ticket but conjecture is useless because he wasn't the nominee and the loony left along with independents and moderates gave us our current mess.

As for your last point, I have always maintained that it is better to take the lesser of two evils and while I was not thrilled with Chambliss for that vote or his initial stance on amnesty for illegals masquerading as immigration reform but if you look at the recent ratings from various organizations he was not perfect but a far cry better than the leftist he ran against. To wit:

NARAL 0%
National Right to Life 100%
Tax Reform groups 80% to 90%
Chamber of Conference 100%
ACLU 15%
American Conservative Union 76%
NEA F
NRA A+

You see GF, unlike the independents and moderates that voted for the statist troika of Obama/Reid/Pelosi I am an adult and realize that more than half a loaf is much preferred over no loaf at all. That is what adults do. Children frequently cut off their noses to spite their faces because of immaturity and a lack of wisdom. I have no problem with my vote for Chambliss. I would prefer a more consistently conservative candidate but I will take him any day over what the Dem's send my way. You see, all I have is my vote as I don't sit in the smoke filled rooms and pick candidates. I do my research and make informed, rationale decisions, sometimes even voting for one Republican when I would have preferred another, more conservative one.
