ometimes a presidential candidate’s spokespersons can say a mouthful with a few words as New Hampshire State Sen. Gary Lambert did for Mitt Romney this week. Unfortunately for Romney, Lambert’s words told a very troubling story: do you ignore your personal values and vote for someone purely on the national media’s measure of electability? Is it more important to vote for someone because you think they have the best chance of beating Barack Obama regardless as to whether that candidate shares your views?
If you’re a Conservative your opposition to Barack Obama isn’t based on his electability but rather the gap between his policies, views and beliefs and your own. Mitt Romney’s surrogate said this week that it’s evident Romney will be the Republican presidential nominee and that “beliefs and principles” should not be the deciding factor for voters. Mr. Lambert’s statement is tantamount to saying, “Romney is no Conservative, but he can beat Obama.”

So does any of that sound familiar to anyone?
This article is from January 7th 2012.
So it's old but that's the point, the message being pushed, the narrative being woven is the same now as it was then "abandon your principles, vote Romney now"
It's worth remembering how long the same chant has been going on always claiming to be "realism", well propaganda only becomes realism if it's bought into and sometimes not even then.
"It's not about picking someone even with your own beliefs and principles." (http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/01/07/romney-surrogate-electability-should-trump-beliefs-and-principles/)
You know what Gary? I have a a response for you

I was saying it to you and those like you before Iowa, I was saying it after Iowa while you (falsely) proclaimed Mitt's win in Iowa meant the race was over. A win by the way and also turned out to be false. And I will keep saying it all the way through the convention in Tampa.
Voting is about picking Principles not ponies.
