As for Romney - less than happy with him. He does have bucks, is photogenic, waffles on his philosphies and is well spoken.

I took to listening pretty carefully and closely to Mitt, and found that the only way in which he was "well spoken" was in mouthing platitudes that are music to conservatives' ears. From his CPAC speech last year, he often tossed forth "well-spoken" confetti like "conservative principle," "We believe in Democracy. We respect the will of the people," "We need to advance a conservative plan based on free choice and personal responsibility and private medicine," "Conservatives favor clear, streamlined, up-to-date regulations and laws that let the economy work," and the most deceiving of all, "The invisible hand of the marekt is more powerful than the lumbering machinery of the government."

NOT that those well-spoken platitudes aren't true or mostly true, and certainly that last one is positively Reaganesque in its wisdom -- but they are deceptive as to indicating where Romney REALLY wants to take us. When you listen to the OTHER parts of Romney's speeches, you hear him put forth proposed "solutions' that directly contradict those pretty, well-spoken platitudes. The SCARIEST sentence in that CPAC speech (the same CPAC where Rush spoke) was:

"Cap and trade would tax American citizens and American employers and send buisness and jobs to high-poluting nations." (Sounds GREAT, right? Very well spoken! But then the next words out of this phony clown's mouth were: "Any carbon plan has to be world-wide in scop. Let's have a world-wide solution, not an American one."

I really hope Republicans get the picture that "well-spoken" though Romney may be, those well-spoken items are frills, decorations, confetti; the reality is that conservative principle sails over Romney's head.

Romney is bad news. Sure, he helped Brown in MA, but so did I. Who knows -- maybe the money we sent to Brown from our house put him over the top; it's downright sh*tty of Romney to claim credit for Brown's win. Romney is a big government Daddy's Home Republican who so waters down any contrast between Republicans and Democrats that regardless of whether he wins or loses, he guarantees a loss for Americans.

Democrats and socialists threaten the present, but build hope for the future as people turn to the Republican party for an authentic limited-government alternative. Big government nanny state Republicans like Romney are MORE DANGEROUS because although their intrusive government threat to the present is on a slower timetable than the Democrats', they wholly sabotage hope for the future because people throw up their hands in defeat and despair and have reason to say, "There's not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties." THAT is the death knell, not Democrats per se.

The GOP and Republicans going so far left, so far toward big government and intrusive nanny-statism, not only made Obama possible, it made Obama inevitable.

ROMNEY IS BAD NEWS FOR AMERICA.
