Romney Exits, Saying He Has to ‘Stand Aside for Our Party’ By JOHN SULLIVAN and MICHAEL LUO

If not Romney then who? I like Duncan Hunter a lot but he’s going nowhere. He has no money and hasn’t run a good campaign. If we nominate a buffoon like John McCain or Mike Huckabee then we are sure to lose to the Democrats. Is that what you want SoCalPol? Do you want another Clinton or worse Obama in the White House? We can’t afford that. No matter how bad you think Romney is, he is far superior to any of the 3 possible Democrats. SoCalPol, it’s people like you who get Democrats elected!

I am going to try and be polite in this discussion so that my comments are not removed by the moderator. You need an education in how the American Political System works. It really does not matter if the president is for or against abortion. He/She CANNOT do anything about it! Can you not get this through your thick skulls! The only way in which a president can conceivably do something about abortion is to nominate strict constructionist judges to the Supreme Court. If (and this is a big if) a case were to come to the the supreme court where Rowe v. Wade decision could be overturned the abortion decision goes back to the State Legislatures. Some states would probably outlaw abortion but the vast majority would not.
I can assure you of one thing, if Clinton or God help us Obama were to be nominated you will NOT get Supreme Court Justices who will overturn Rowe v. Wade.
Just to go on the record, I am against abortion but we a fighting an incredibly STUPID battle against it. By voting for Buffoons like Huckster and Co. you will assure a McCain victory and most likely a Clinton victory.
To win the battle over abortion we will first need to win the culture war. Then we can win the political war. How to do this? Well that is beyond the scope of this blog.
However it is possible but it will be a long and difficult struggle. However defeating Romney will be a disaster. You may get some perverse satisfaction from this but it is cutting off your nose to spite your face!
This is why H.L. Mencken will again be proven correct when he stated that nobody ever went broke betting against the intelligence of the American public.
