THE MAIN POINT OF THE ARTICLE:
A Gingrich presidency, if such a thing can even be imagined, would be a chaotic catastrophe. A Gingrich nomination would yield an Obama landslide.
So that leaves us with the two governors, Mitt Romney and Jon Huntsman. Romney has the better record as an administrator. I still think that his Massachusetts health-care plan showed creative leadership on an important problem even if he himself now declines to defend his own accomplishment.
Romney has spoken well and firmly about the need to stop Irans nuclear weapons program. He has a keen understanding of the debt and financial problems of the U.S. and Europe.
Because the media will have a whole lot of fun with that.
What would one expect from a Cousin of Paul Krugman.
In which case, Dave, I prefer bust:
Romney-the-RINO and waffler will NEVER get my vote.
I’ve calculated, very “scientifically”, that between leftists, government employees, unionized employees, unionized goverment employees, the “green” industries, anarchists, environmentalists, women who want to be able to get an abortion (just in case), their boyfriends, students, professors, inmates, absentee ballots, well... a few other groups, I can’t list them all here, .... between all them and conservatives who realize that Romney isn’t conservative, that approximately 347 Republicans and 9 Democrats would vote for Romney in a general election. /sarc
Bust
Then bust it is, chump.
IOW, Frum has no use for conservatives.
FUDF. 2012 is not the Year of the Mormons.
Either one of them would run the conservative movement of the tracks.
I vote for bust...
No, seriously, guys, if it’s Romney v. Vanilla Romney...vote for whoever you want. We’re boned anyway.
Huntsman is not worth the bucket of warm spit that I would give to Romney if he asked for water.
David Frum was once a bright light in the world of conservative punditry/thinking. Really. He wrote a fabulous history of the 1970s called “How We Got Here”.
Then, something happened. He got full of himself, perhaps, or he became ashamed of conservatism. Maybe someone spoke to him harshly or insulted him. I don’t know.
He has turned into a conservative who yearns, it seems, for liberal approval. He apparently wants to be the “conservative” the liberals ask to parties.
Well, uh, bye.
As my high school grandchildren would say....that article is just so gay.
GFY Doofus, erh, Dayvuhd....
