Conservatives, be careful what you wish for with Mitt Romney (Reality Check)
FOX NEWS ^ | 11/02/2012 | Juan Williams

Posted on 11/02/2012 10:10:42 AM PDT by goldstategop

The truth is, the Tea Party anger that boiled over in response to the President Obama’s healthcare plan had been brewing for years due to conservative disappointment with George W. Bush’s policies. Bush created record-breaking deficits, embraced Congressional earmarks, gained passage of an enormous expansion of Medicare entitlements without funding it, nominated Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, and backed McCain-Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform.

Principled conservatives like Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity spoke out against the direction of the party, to their credit.

Conservatives must be careful not to abandon their principles out of blind hated for President Obama. In their zeal to make Obama a one-term president, they may just elect someone who ends up implementing policies that are to the left of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

You are in California and are irrelevant any way. You just plain don’t matter.

For the sake of your idiotic argument, let’s just assume that Mitt Romney is Obama II. Who is going to govern more radically? Obama I who will never have to face the voters again? Or Obama II who will?

I *know* what Obama will do with another 4 years.

I do *not* know what Romney will do with a conservative house and senate at his back.

J.W. was being dishonest with the ‘Romneycare’ part of his article. What Romney said was that there were good parts to Obamacare (preexisting conditions and helping college kids stay covered while they were in school), but that the rest was a boondoggle. He also said that what worked in Mass. may not work in Texas and that it was a states’ issue, not a federal government issue.

Right now, I will take the unknown over a *certain* hell.

Juan WIlliams is a slobbering Obama apologist and his arguements are not only old and tired, they are so patently false that they would be funny if this election was not about such absolutely critical things.

He’s simply trying to do everything in the face of a rising tsunami-like tide, to supress the vote for Romney.

Here’s a list of links that explain how critical this election is and the conditions surrounding it:

Juan Williams is the voice of reason. No bias to be found here.

As a life-long Republican...I will now vote Democrat.

Thank you Juan for the timely warning about Mitt.

“That’s why I am not voting for him and Juan Williams’ advice is sound. “

Well, I am glad to see you are a California voter so your vote won’t matter.

Whatever—he’s a damn sight better than obammy..

Ain't that the truth. Anybody that would stay home and let Obama win is a traitor IMO. They have no credibility when they claim to love this country if they allow Obama to win.

Romney was not my first choice but I have been more impressed with him the more I hear him talk. I know it's politics and if he doesn't do all he promises I won't be surprised, but he is at least a true American and I believe he will put country first. I'm not going to blindly believe anything any politician claims but so far Romney is heads above the rest. Any Republican and some Democrats at this point are better than four more years of Obama.

Yup. That’s how far loathing of Obama has brought us. I can’t join the enthusiasm for Mitt Happens.

There are a few things he advocates I do like and on the rest I’m prepared to be disappointed. Because he isn’t a Reagan conservative and isn’t one of us!

I have no illusions/delusions concerning Mitt. However, I will enthusiastically vote for him to get rid of the horror of Obama. O is an abomination.

Juan, we want to kick out the Marxist usurper and replace him with a true-blue, died-in-the-wool conservative president! But half a loaf is far better than no loaf at all, so thanks anyway for your “concern.”

Since you are in a “swing State”, if 0bama is re-elected, we will hunt you down and do to you what that 92-year-old “lady” said she would do to Mitt. ;-)

That’s right, vote third party out of principle and get Obama again.

I don’t think so Tim....
