What makes you think Romney would slow it down? It can't be because of where he claims he stands on the issues because he's lying. Romney will not be accountable to the Republican party as you appear to believe....though he will be deceptive and make them believe so...he's had years of practice at deception and it has worked for him...imagine people on FR are actually considering voting for him....knowing full well he is a deceiver in every way.
Foolish people who believed Obama are also "hopeful" Romney will just not be as bad.....deception works for the uninformed.
A Romney presidency says we still can't find a candidate to run.
That's just the thing, Ray. Romney will never help right our ship. Despite appearances, he's not all that different from Obama. His governing record in Massachusetts is solidly statist liberal.
Screw the talk. Watch the walk. There isn't a single thing in this man's record to indicate that he would be anything but a big government Socialist as president. Excuse me, but if my choices are between Romney and Obama, the only difference I see is their skin color and their bank accounts.
Perhaps Romney will back the accelerator off a couple of mph, but he's not going to change Obama's course.
The next president needs to jam on the brakes with both feet, and yank the wheel hard to the right, to keep us from going off the cliff. Neither Romney or Obama are going to do this. We're doomed if either one of them is elected.
So, let me ask you this -- if and when the car flies over the precipice, which guy do you want behind the wheel?
Had that happened, the Republican establishment just might have learned a lesson, and they wouldn't now be pushing Romney on us. If the Republican had been utterly crushed in the last election, perhaps they'd now be stepping back just enough to allow a real conservative reformer to win the nomination.
I agree with Newt..there has to be a clearing out before we can expect any real changes...and he can't do that alone without us cleaning out the local trash and governors of each state, along with congress. It's a formidable battle I hesitate to say enough are willing to have their hands a part of..."a Few good men" are certainly in order for our team.
"Free Republic is the premier online gathering place for independent, grass-roots conservatism on the web. We're working to roll back decades of governmental largesse, to root out political fraud and corruption, and to champion causes which further conservatism in America. And we always have fun doing it. Hoo-yah!"
Not my words, sir. But unless you are of the opinion that what is good for the conservative movement isn't also what's good for America, there ought to be more ways than one to reach that goal.
I trust that isn't the case with you.
True Conservatives know the Federal government is heading to insolvency. The sooner we fix the problem the better it will be. Mitt would just delay the fix at least 4 more years. He would be a failure as President and likely usher in another Marxist.
The true solution lies in the crisis of such magnitude that the "several States" gather and vote to dissolve the Federal Union. The current socialist Federal government can then be replaced by a strict Constitutional Republic.
The dissolution will not be pretty, but it will quickly accomplish the removal of almost all Federal Agencies, the firing are very large numbers of Federal parasites, the dissolution of all Federal Courts except the Supreme Court (to rid the lower courts of Marxists). Remember, the Congress created all the lower courts.
A reconstituted Republic can quickly rebound and unleash the energy of a free people.

How could that be even possible? I just don't see that happening. The obstacles would be huge and the governing powers would fight it fiercely. I say this because just looking at the states who have attempted to write laws concerning how they handle illegals...the gov. is coming down hard on them. Further imagining "states coming together" would be a long shot at best. They haven't come together on Obamacare, though several are rejecting mandates, it's not unified.
Well, it won't be possible without a cataclysmic collapse of the current putrid, rotting regime, which is what Sand88 was referring to.
I understand that, but I don't see that they're going to collapse any time soon...nor later if Obamas admin. holds...or Romneys gets in...there's nothing which can collapse this admin short of war on our land..and even then 9/11 showed clearly we never identify the enemy for who they are....and now they're on our soil planning their evil deeds and our gov. is supporting them coming here. I am so livid about this and see no way this country is going to survive unless Newt gets in and even then it's going to be a haul.
Caww, we're $15 Trillion dollars in debt and the administration wants to raise the credit/debt limit, and keep the printing presses running. The Marxist is bypassing Congress and implementing his radical leftist agenda while Boehner cries, and McConnell looks on stupidly. If he's allowed to continue to rule by fiat, he'll collapse our entire system all by himself. No civil war necessary.
At the very least, I think there's a 10th Amendment rebellion on the part of the states coming, and that may well be accompanied by widespread civil disobedience. 300,000,000 people can only take so much, before something gives.
