ONLY ONE CANDIDATE IS RIGHT ON THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES December 28, 2011
In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.
Taxes can be raised and lowered. Regulations can be removed (though they rarely are). Attorneys general and Cabinet members can be fired. Laws can be repealed. Even Supreme Court justices eventually die.
But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back.
Similarly, if Obamacare isn't repealed in the next few years, it never will be.
America will begin its ineluctable descent into becoming a worthless Western European country, with rotten health care, no money for defense and ever-increasing federal taxes to support the nanny state.
So let's consider which of the Republican candidates are most likely to succeed at these objectives.
In order to allow Democrats to indignantly denounce Republicans who said Obamacare would add to the deficit, the bill was structured so that no goodies get paid out immediately.
That way, when the Congressional Budget Office was asked to determine if Obamacare was "revenue neutral" over its first 10 years, government accountants were looking at a bill that collected taxes for 10 years, but only distributed treats in the later years.
Starting at year 11, those accountants will be in for a big surprise when the government starts paying out Obamacare benefits without interruption.
Because of this accounting fraud, Obamacare can still be repealed. But as soon as all Americans have been thrown off their employer-provided insurance plans and are forced to start depending on the government for health care, Republicans will never be able to repeal it.

She’s been with Romney since Day One. But she was seen cheating with Christie from time to time.
When Willard loses this cycle, Ivy League Ann will blame the Tea Party then write another book about Obama. Win/Win for her.
I’m sorry, I must have huffed too much Lysol. Did someone say that to defeat Obamacare, Romney is the key ?
Did I catch this right ? Should I just go to bed and try again tomorrow ?
Ann just creeps me out. Even more now with this Romney worship.
If Willard is the nominee, then Obamacare is off the table. There’s no way in Hell that Willard will ever criticize Obamacare because that would be like criticizing your own agenda.
Odd ,How quickly these pundits become crackpots and lose it!
Kinda sad watching her go down the David Brock/Little Green Footballs path.
I will not vote for Romney. I will not caucus for Romney. If it comes down to Romney vs. Obama, it will be up to the rest of you to decide.
Also, he was a PROVEN bad governor.
So that, and his dog abuse, appear to impress the RINO Coulter on her pimping spree.
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

No, she like Sarah Palin, after endorsing McCain, will never be a winner again. Oh sure she will keep some of her supporters, and she will still sell books, but any claim to being a conservative or for that matter even honest, are gone.
From here on out she is just one more money grubber looking to get her name in the press.
You do not have to sell out to make a lot of money. You can keep you honor, your integrity and be principled and still make a billion. There are a number of prominent, successful businessmen who have not compromised, not stolen, not lied, nor cheated anyone and are worth a ton of money. Rush Limbaugh comes to mind as do Dave and Charles Koch.
I love you Ann, but please stop with this. Obamney care? Ann, please don’t hurt me like this.
I wouldn't be surprised if a bunch of gullible freepers buy her next "watch me bash a bunch of liberals (that I go to cocktail parties with)" book, and eagerly stand in line to line for an hour to get her autograph and fawn over how "hot" she is. As P.T. Barnum said, there's a sucker born every minute.
Ann Coulter, surely you understand there’s a huge difference between knowing what to say in order to sound conservative and actually having a record of honesty, sincerity and—most important—a fighting spirit.
What could possibly lead Ann to believe Mitt will do anything to minimize Obamacare or control illegal immigration?
But is Ann wrong that only Bachmann and Romney support E-verify?
No, she isn’t.
Sad and true
In fairness to Coulter, she is just trying to put the best face on this. We’ve got bad choices. You can be criticized no matter who of this bunch you choose.
See?
Ann has lost her fan base. All five of them are moving to Newt, leaving her with only her lefty journalist pals to dance with Romney on the head of a pin and buy her notorious books. Goodbye, Annie. It was fun, but not all THAT fun.
