Does anyone believe that Romney has the guts to come out strongly in favour of Israel and call out Obama for his pro-muslim, anti-Israel positions? These issues could cause a major shift of Jewish voters towards the GOP, but you’d have to have a Presidential candidate with the passion to go on the attack. Romney will pay lip service to Israel but he won’t spend political capital bringing a real fight to Obama. Romney likely can’t wait for his turn to hold hands with the Saudi sheiks, a la the Bushes, even if he doesn’t bow like Obama.
Passion; more importantly, 'courage'. Don't think for a minute that Romney (or RNC/GOP) has it.
Newt has it. . .but look where he is. . .Meantime, should Romney et al; make the best and most bold of decisions - to have Marco Rubio at VP; then Marco, will the one who is armed; and fearless.
(Allen West the same; but cannot think of any other Repubs, so honest and bold./sigh. . .) Clearly, West is not on the 'short list' for VP and the only realistic winner is Rubio. Am holding my breath for this one.
(Make Newt head of Dept of Education! Or something where his wisdom is shared; and respected. . .)
Have yet to be impressed by anything Repub insiders do; but just maybe they will get this right. And given how critical are our circumstances; I pray that they do. .. going forward.
