” - - - I ask those on this thread who have so vociferously attacked Romney here, what is your goal? You say that you believe that America will be equally bad off under either Obama or Romney, but you only attack Romney. What are you trying to accomplish? “
THANK YOU for asking THE question so clearly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in “both” of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!
This can be accomplished by choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.
The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.
There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.
Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.
For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, endorse “The Ryan Budget,” and compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.
I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his “Budget” will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
BTW, I added those exclamation points for your benefit, because both you and I know that Ryan’s budget will NEVER balance, and thus never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.
The problem with "stellar Dark Horse" candidates is that they often are exposed as being far less than stellar once they are out in the spotlight. That was true about Herman Cain this cycle, and about Fred Thompson last cycle. It is a rare, rare person who can be an effective conservative candidate. Really the last good one we had was Reagan and he spent decades honing his craft, and he achieved the Presidency in a media environment that was in some important ways far less punishing to conservatives than what we have now.
Rep. West is almost completely untested and inexperienced on the national stage. To nominate him when he has built no national following would be the ultimate Hail Mary pass. Conservatives are supposed to be conservative. Nominating the guy who is best known, most proven, and most well connected is the conservative approach.
