Fearful Intellectual Conservative Syndrome [liberal-lite runs against a Mike Tyson pol opponents]

I was stunned when conservative author Ann Coulter endorsed Mitt Romney for president. I love Ann. I even named her in my tribute song honoring Conservative women, "Our Girls."

Why would one of my conservative heroes select a liberal-lite to run against the Mike Tyson of political opponents? No, I am not suggesting that Obama would bite off the ear of our presidential candidate, but Obama is a Chicago-style, no-holds-barred politician. If your opposition brings a political stick, you bring a political gun. That's the Chicago Way.

As chairman of the CampaignToDefeatObama.com, I have taken heat from folks on our side angry because of our ad exposing Romney's liberal choices and tendencies.

Folks, here is the deal. Romney is not a conservative. Yes, Romney has made some conservative choices. But they seem to have come after he has been dragged kicking and screaming to the conservative side of the street.

Obamacare is an Obama-nation in regards to freedom. If implemented, Obamacare will end America as we know it. A Herculean effort will be required to repeal Obama's evil socialistic mega-control monstrosity. Can we trust Romney to go "all in" to repeal Obamacare?

Intimidated, fearful intellectual conservatives say that Obama has the bully pulpit of the White House, the majority of the media, and a billion dollars on his side for re-election. In essence, they believe that we have lost our country. They believe that a majority of Americans are infected with entitlement mindsets and class envy disease. Obama's media-manipulated, ill-informed infected zombies are going to vote for the guy (Obama) who promises freebies and vows to punish the rich.

Driven by fear, the game plan of our smart conservative gurus is to offer a liberal-lite candidate who will also promise freebies, but not so irresponsibly -- who will punish the

Intellectuals in our party such as Coulter and others are rallying around Romney because they fear that America will not elect a pedal-to-the-metal true conservative. They believe that we need a liberal-lite to defeat Obama.

Ann has gone pro-gay and pro-socialist Romney. Without Christie, she is adrift to the left.

Very good article. Thanks for posting. HOORAY Lloyd Marcus!

RINOS = Republicans Implementing Nuances Of Socialism

From the article: “We did the “liberal-lite thing” in ‘08 and lost. Remember a guy named John McCain? So why on earth would we go there again?”

As well as ‘04, ‘00, ‘96, ‘92, and ‘88. Every one of them was a progressive and held conservatives and conservative values in contempt. Even when one of them wins, conservatism loses because the public thinks they are conservatives.

The only good reason to vote for Romney against Zero is that Romney’s supreme court appointments will not be as odious as Zero’s and those appointments will long outlive a disasterous four years with Romney.

Control of the supreme court will likely shift one way or the other during the next presidency with high probability. As much as I disliked O’Conner, she was far less damaging to the nation than are Breyer and the Wise Latina. I think the best we get out of Romney is an O’Conner but at least she was a weak-minded swing vote. From Zero we will get only hard-left.

Maybe Ann is not as conservative as she wants you to believe.

Though Anne continues to have her (Conservative) moments, as evidenced with her defense of the attacks on Cain (appearing on "Whore-Aldo" on Sunday night) and really, hitting the Libs hard, I'm confooozed of late with her apparent gay support, her single-minded, push for (an obvious RINO, Christie) and now here relegating Cain to "VP status"....which ain't all that bad....but under Romney?

Something does not compute and I'm not sure what it is!!!

To help Herman send him something http://www.hermancain.com/
but also “like” him at facebook.com.
Facebook likes are a new way to count “buzz.” Starting from way back, Herman has increased his “likes” by 8% in just the last week. Mitts has a huge lead in “likes” but he has been running for a long time.
