That’s really the problem you don’t see. This battle is bigger than Barack Obama, but the scumbags in the GOPe want you to believe it is. The battle is with the IDEOLOGY that empowers Obama and so many others, including within the GOPe itself. Mittens is merely the Republican version of the same progressive ideology. IOW, we lost this battle when Mittens secured his path to the nomination.
What will happen with Mittens is 4 years of degenerate RINO control, followed up with another possible 4 years of degenerate RINO control, to be followed up with degenerate DemonRat control. Because, let’s face it, Romney is a big government statist who is just going to manage the decline. Except now the Great Economic Collapse that is coming is going to fall on OUR doorstep instead of the socialists. I won’t vote for Obama, but I sure as hell hope Mittens loses and we have strong conservatives to oppose him in Congress. The short term pain is better than long term mediocrity and eventual death.
Thirty percent of the country all solid conservatives. Over half of the country are somewhat conservative. Yet we are led by someone who represents about 15 percent of the country, the leftwing lunatic fringe. How could that be? In part its because Conservatives have been incredibly stupid and naive when it comes to building a governing majority. Reagan understood, but we have no Reagan’s amongst us now.
Rather than crying in our beer about this sad state of affairs, we need to cling to whatever thread of political power that we can, fight a delaying action, regroup, and live to fight another day. If Obama wins, there will be no further fights, it will be over.
Right you are on all counts. See #335. I should have pinged you.
