Romney… Stand Up, Or Stand Down!

I’m seriously conflicted. I’m beginning to have flashbacks to the presidential race of 2008. There are some disturbing parallels between the candidacy of the hapless John “you can’t do it my friend” McCain and the present candidate, the anointed of the Washington Republican Establishment. It’s akin to the feeling I got when I realized that George Bush was anything but the conservative he positioned himself to be.

Americans have been watching with an almost preternatural intensity as this all too real drama plays out on our national stage. Mitt Romney ran for the nomination of the Republican Party like a junkyard dog… destroying candidate after candidate and devil-take-the-hindmost. It was readily apparent that he didn’t much care where the bottom of the swamp was either. Though many of us disliked his tactics… and they were short, brutal and to the point, we salved ourselves with the thought… “just wait for the campaign this summer and fall, Romney will chew up Obama and spit him out, we’ve got a tiger in our tank”.

Readers will remember that I was never that high on Romney. I saw the potential millstone that ‘Romneycare’ presented to the Republican effort to oust the Marxist Obama, as unfair as it may be. ‘Romneycare’ as it has been dubbed is, and was, nothing compared to the utter devastation that will be Obama’s legacy to this country should the healthcare law not be overturned.

Mitt Romney’s attempt to bring sanity to Massachusetts health care costs, through a state mandated health care system, was admirable in its aims. Romney should have known it would have been vulnerable to a Democratic state legislature which couldn’t wait to turn the law into a tax-and-spend opportunity, which was then followed by the election of a liberal Democrat governor after Romney’s departure who turned the law into something totally different than its original intent. What Romney did was to remediate some of the state’s onerous health care regulations. What Barack Hussein Obama has done is to enslave an entire nation to the false gods of liberal governance.

Romney has got to start listening to some different advice. From what I’ve observed, he should dump his advisers now. Whoever advised Romney to allow photo ops from ‘The Boathouse’ and ‘The Monster’ speed boat while the Anointed One is out campaigning, schmoozing senior citizens and sucking down brewskis with constituents, should be in some other line of work… period.

Romney has lost his nerve… or someone high up in his campaign has. Running from the fight is serving none of us well. No incumbent president since Jimma’ Boy Cata has been as vulnerable as Barack Obama. What’s infuriating me and many other patriots, at least according to the comments we get, and we get a bunch… Romney wants us to trust him to bring this country out of the darkness that is this ‘depression’. He wants us to fight for him. When is he going to fight for us?

The problem is that the author ignores that ROMNEYCARE FAILED.

Mr. Romney MUST either recant
RomneyCARE or pull out of the race.

[VictoryGal]

He’ll never recant RomneyCare. And if you believe ole Mittens will get rid of ObamneyCare, you are clearly high on something.

The Presidency is lost, no matter who wins. Focus on Congress. Our only hope to retake the country lies there.

I feel like a tin foil hat wearer. I am starting to think that there are forces that want America to be burdened with socialize medicine. First we have Romney foisted upon us in the GOP primary: author of Romneycare and the least likely to repeal Obamacare. Second, against all odds and speculation, the USSC upheld Obamacare. What is up?

[WilliamRobert]

Romney is a pussy cat, GOPe are puddy cats also. The only thing the two/one party system wants to fight is We the People and the Taxed Enough Already Party

[NTHockey]

For anyone who has more than half a brain, it should be “intuitively obvious to the casual observer” )my calculus professor’s favorite saying) that:
a) We have a one party system in this country;
b) There are two factions who fake anger to amuse us;
c) For the PUBs, it is the nomination that is the prize; and
d) Elections do NOT have consequences because politicians lie to us.

white0bambi doesn’t want to be elected; he just wants the nomination and to keep others from getting the nomination, especially Conservatives.
