Conservatives, be careful what you wish for with Mitt Romney (Reality Check)
FOX NEWS ^ | 11/02/2012 | Juan Williams

Posted on 11/02/2012 10:10:42 AM PDT by goldstategop

The truth is, the Tea Party anger that boiled over in response to the President Obama’s healthcare plan had been brewing for years due to conservative disappointment with George W. Bush’s policies. Bush created record-breaking deficits, embraced Congressional earmarks, gained passage of an enormous expansion of Medicare entitlements without funding it, nominated Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court, and backed McCain-Kennedy comprehensive immigration reform.

Principled conservatives like Coulter, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity spoke out against the direction of the party, to their credit.

Conservatives must be careful not to abandon their principles out of blind hated for President Obama. In their zeal to make Obama a one-term president, they may just elect someone who ends up implementing policies that are to the left of George W. Bush and Barack Obama.

Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it.

Whatever—he’s a damn sight better than obammy........

Right On! But the real key, is to continue to work on Romney after the election; to appeal to his ability as a problem solver, to face up to the terrible effects of the intrusive policies of recent Administrations. In short, continue to present the realistic argument for the traditional American values, which we have been losing.

See Romney/Ryan--Why & How.

Our choice this election is....vote for the liberal or vote for the commie. Not a hard choice in my book.
And oh yeah, Juan Williams is an Obama stooge so I’d be sure and listen to him. Insert eye roll here.

Let us keep it simple.

Do we want..

1) A Muslim, Marxist who hates America?
Who has badly damaged our economy, and plans FAR worse?
Who is plainly promoting radical Muslims worldwide?

or?

2) A moderate liberal CAPITALIST?

Not a tough call at all, is it?

You are in California and are irrelevant any way. You just plain don’t matter.

And if you did matter, you'd matter as much as a piece of dried dog shit stuck to the bottom of a boot.

You've been here for 12 years and have gotten more senile every year.

Why is it no one appreciates Bush’s senior drug program? Thanks to affordable drugs seniors are managing health problems and avoiding complications that would lead to more expensive treatment. A Romney repeal and replace of Obamacare or another law like the Hyde amendment that would take federal abortion funding of the table would buy Romney a second term and please most as an agreeable compromise. It does not matter if you’re left or right. At the end of the day we help everyone in need in our Christian nation.

He makes some excellent points, but his timing is poor. Let's save it for Thursday or Friday... after (hopefully) an awesome TUE night, and a day or two to celebrate... THEN we have to hold Romney and the GOP Congress-critters to account. We did a poor job for 6 years (2000-2006, when we gave the GOP all 3 Houses and got little in return), and we did a poor job in the primaries (letting the GOP Establishment pick "their" guy instead of a true-blue limited-government conservative).

If the Tea Party movement is to gain any traction from this point forward, we have to take Romney to task as hard as we can... but AFTER the election, not right now, when it could diminish enthusiasm for this vote.

killer bees are on the attack, but I noticed that out of 95 previous posts NO ONE has defended Romney with the stats on his voting which williams is referring to. I can’t stand williams, but has anyone shot down his article with proof of Romney NOT being responsible for signing tax raises, the gov’t medical plan, etc, etc.

WHAT did Romney veto? What did he sign? Anyone voting for him have any idea?

He is a good man. This article was not an attack on his character but on what happened while he was governor. If Romney was so good, why wasn’t he the nominee in 2008?

You are in a swing state. Your vote counts unlike mine.

Romney is more liberal than you and me. But Romney is pro American as opposed to Obama who by deeds, thoughts and words is ANTI-AMERICAN. If Colorado goes Obama - you will get slammed by me you Jerk! There I said it.

Should Romney be elected and then stray off the conservative reservation, we can fight those battles later.

Was he ever on the conservative reservation?

BTW, the same exact thing was said about Bush, who was so bad he was replaced by a neighborhood Communist block captain out of Chicago.

Don’t have any great hopes for Romney.
He is, at best, a moderate Democrat, before Democrats went radical left.
I just know he won’t be as bad as Obama (knock on wood).

Some people will grasp at any straw to justify their stupidity, even if it means siding with a known liberal moron.

Ask yourself, if Romney is as liberal as Juan claims, why is the media, and the left demonizing him? Why have they gone to great lengths to find dirt on him like they did Sarah Palin? If he is so liberal, why haven't Putin, Castro, Chavez, China, Ahmadinejad, etc. endorsed him instead of Obama? Why does Europe want Obama re-elected if Romney is more liberal than The One?

Go ahead and vote present like Obama on election day, and you'll reap what you sow.
