Well stated.
I think where you and I differ is merely on whether Mitt is evil. I think we might agree that BO is evil - so that’s a no-brainer.
So now we’re just down to Mitt - is he evil?
As of yet I’m unconvinced...
“So now we’re just down to Mitt - is he evil?”
The real question to me is, has this man supported and acted on evil as an elected official?
Against the evil Obama participates in, there is the evil Willard participated in.
Abortion
Gay marriage, rights, adoption
Reduction of liberty through expanded government
Reduction of Constitutional rights
Promotion of a cult
Homo-favoring, and abortion lovin’ judges he appointed
I leave you to answer those for yourself.
Once Willard decided to become POTUS, he hired a consultant to teach him how to “talk conservative” and changed out his positions for conservative ones in his speech. Conservatives hate Obama so much, they are willing to believe what he says and sweep aside everything opposite that he did. Bizarre.
I do not believe he is a conservative. I do not believe he is close to a conservative.
So for me, and again, I am only speaking for me, I believe ball-less republicans, which are almost all that exists in the Senate and most of the House, would go along with Willard’s bad values and choices. They will feel obligated and frankly, they lean that way anyway.
The question is, would they oppose the same choicess if Obama proposed them? I think at least in a tepid way.
Frankly, I do not believe the national Republican party has changed a whit. They felt the heat from the Tea Party, but just gave lip service to it. For them to be swept into power again will convince them that it is back to business as usual - and Willard would be swiftly followed by a Hillary landslide with coattails.
Until a conservative leader comes along that inspires the country, conservatives will only be elected in opposition to trauma by liberals. The greater the trauma, the greater the response on the other side.
Each of us has a tough decision to make and the conservative party will be split.
If the current Occupant can manipulate things to make the economy appear to be improving - or hand out more benefits until it does, I don’t think Willard can win.
Time will tell. In either case, win or lose in the short-term, I believe Willard carries with him a greater loss in the long-term - and he’ll do it without me. Admittedly, I may be wrong. I can live with either outcome.
Good luck.
