I followed Willard very closely, pretty much for 20 years now since his first run for the Senate in 1994. As much as I soured on Dubya, I can tell you these two aren’t remotely in the same class of people. If you think you’d have had any influence policy-wise with steering him in the “right” direction, I’m here to tell you that you’re fooling yourself.
Willard has had for his entire adult life, his own personal political agenda which is far afield from anything remotely having to do with Conservatism. Indeed, his agenda dovetails mostly with his parents, who were both committed left-wingers who tried using the Michigan Republican Party as a vehicle for their misguided agenda.
Do I know what he would’ve done as President ? Absolutely. You think he’d have “undone” ZeroCare ? Forget it. ZeroCare derives its very existence from his own Socialist health care agenda he created in Massachusetts. Killing ZeroCare would’ve been aborting his own personal creation. It was again, Willard who inspired Zero to create it and push it through a radical Congress. Indeed, had Willard not served his execrable term as Governor, Zero would’ve lacked a blueprint for his plan of action. That Willard could even remotely oppose Zero’s plan on the campaign trail flew in the face of all logic and reason.
Judges ? We’re talking about a guy who lined the courts of Massachusetts with left-wingers. He met with the extremist judicial applicant for all of 15 or so minutes before setting her on the bench where she proceeded to set free a butcher on the public (who murdered the Maucks). Why did he give said applicant such a minimal amount of time ? Because he had his lunch at Ruth’s Chris awaiting him, and that was just more important than vetting a judge with a radical agenda.
When it came out during his first farcical run for President in 2008, he was more indignant that it might make him look bad or be blamed on him rather than the murders of the young Mauck couple.
Amnesty ? You better believe he’d have continued the policies of open borders we saw under Dubya. He’d have reveled in the fact that it would split the party. A party he has absolutely no use for (reference the fact of what he did with the MA GOP and made sure there would be no Republican to succeed him in office - leaving an inept and clueless cypher to defend the party there, an inept and clueless cypher he personally went to the mat to make sure was nominated as his Lieutenant over an infinitely qualified individual who had put in years of hard work).
I can go on if you wish, since this is nothing I haven’t stated before on innumerable occasions for most of the past decade.
Half the problems we have are due precisely to these Trojan Horses we allow in to our highest offices and nominations. It’s not Conservatives that put us in this quandary, it’s the liberal and establishment ones. The same ones far more comfortable with Democrats in office than a committed Conservative.
Before you guys say how it’s my or others fault because we refused to vote for or support these Willard or McCain types, consider that it is these individuals who paved the way for Zero’s coronation. If they put as much energy into sabotaging the Conservative agenda, indeed, the GOP itself, as they did into their own fall campaigns, perhaps they’d have won. But that’s not the role they played. Theirs is to keep the GOP and Conservatism marginalized/weak and off the playing field lest their Democrat allies have to actually defend themselves and what they’ve done to this country.
So next time you say how much better you think Willard would’ve been and how he’d have not been like Zero, consider what I’ve said, and realize precisely what role he has played... and what role he may try to play again for 2016 to either Hillary or his fellow Massachusetts radical, Fauxcahontas.
well said
