Romney best pick for state Republicans (Nevada)

While I am leaning Romney, it’s not because I have a lot of enthusiasm for him. I don’t blame other FReerpers for expressing frustration with our poor choices this year. And if McVain chances on the nom—I’ll be deranged enough to vote for somebody else. Anybody else.

McCain has been in the Senate too long. He has had his perceptions molded into believing “principle” is being willing to compromise with “other Americans who feel differently”. He is far to ready to do so, and this also derives from being in the Senate too long where he has had pounded into his head the concept that government always has to do something. He, like anyone, doesn’t want to spend his days being pointless so he thinks pursuit of legislation is something that always needs to be taking place.

This is not Conservative. Conservatism is a desire for slow, sometimes stodgy change. Versus Liberalism which is a desire for fast, sometimes reckless change.

Well, very little change . . . very little legislation . . . is just fine for conservatives. McCain has been too long in the Senate to embrace that concept.

I actually have been disappointed to hear so very many program proposals from the candidates. That IS how one campaigns, but it would be nice to hear one or two say . . . stay the course on this or stay the course on that.

Given what we have, I decided several months ago that uber competence is going to trump everything else. Romney is best qualified to deal with the economy now approaching.

I was think todaying that Mitt’s action in Mass on healthcare may have saved the country from a democrat socialized federal government solution.

Mass would have passed something far worse if he hadn’t tackled it and it would have set off a dangerous precident.

Just a thought.

“Too true. Perhaps every month we could have a national call-in to vote a candidate out of the race?”

It would be worth it to vote Proamnesty-antiBushtaxcuts-proCO2caps-CFR-RINO John McCain off the Island.

“There are a handful of Romney Derangement Syndrome types around FR. They can be safely ignored. It is useful to remember that in 2000 there was a similar number of Bush Haters who demanded Gary Bauer or Alan Keyes. They soon disappeared.”

Actually one of the resident Mitt-bashers is *still* for Alan Keyes.

Don’t be too confident. Basically, it’s McCain v. Huckabee for first, and Romney v. Thompson for third. Thompson could very well edge Romney out. I don’t think it would matter much to either campaign, though.

The more important question is: what in the world has happened to South Carolina? Didn’t it used to be a conservative state?

If Romney wins this nomination, he will be the first in who know how long to do so without winning NH, IA, or SC. It will be an historic accomplishment, and will forever diminish the political influence of those three states. It will have been demonstrated that there’s a viable strategy -in spite- of them.
