You have that right and I’ll tell you who I’m scared of and that is Mitt Romney. How in the world he is even a contender boggles my mind given his record in Massachusetts. Not only did he work with liberal democrats to pass a state health care mandate. Not only did that mandate require funding for abortion and result in huge unfunded liabilities for MA but he also choose liberal Democrats and Democrat supporting Independents for 2/3s of his judicial appointments. Two of those appointments were homosexual activists. I can’t find any evidence that he even tried to fight on those appointments and one of these judges later released a violent criminal who murdered a newly wed couple over $50. He also went further not only proclaiming “Youth Pride Day” but and also continued to fund “Governor’s Commission on Gay and Lesbian Youth” and even proposed doubling it to $250,000 during his tenure.
I don’t think I even need to go into his global warming stuff or his hiring illegal aliens? . As for fiscal issues the state of MA was ranked near bottom at 47th during his tenure in job creation.
I can’t find anything in his record that is the redeeming factor that would make me say ‘this guy is the guy’. It is really unbelievable the degree of whitewashing that has been done to keep this guy in the race. He should be simply disqualified for his record because it is horrible both fiscally and socially. He is is clearly not opposed to big govt as a general principle nor is he any way a constitutionalist. How conservatives and even Republicans could be so blind is just crazy. Romney is politically just horrible. If he wasn’t handsome and didn’t have money and a glossed over business record the man wouldn’t be even considered. This is the empty suit of empty suits. He could very well be worse than Obama because I believe the reason many want him in power is to make sure that Obama’s policies are turned into concrete. Sure he will repeal Obama care in part but I guarantee at the end of the day the core progressive ideas of government control will remain and then guess what we will own it.
The principled highground is not something to be thrown away. 2010 did happen, the Tea Party did happen and does exist. Do we want all this progress to be flushed down the toilet because that is what a win with Romney would do? I don’t think he will win and I’ll sure as hell never help put the man in the WhiteHouse. He was a failure in Massachusetts and he’ll not be my failure in Washington DC.
This man must be defeated. He should not even be a contender and that is not because he is a Mormon it is because he is an unprincipled fiction who stands opposed to all our core values and founding principles.
Money, power and position promised ... goes a long way.
