ONLY ONE CANDIDATE IS RIGHT ON THE TWO MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES

December 28, 2011

In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.

Taxes can be raised and lowered. Regulations can be removed (though they rarely are). Attorneys general and Cabinet members can be fired. Laws can be repealed. Even Supreme Court justices eventually die.

But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back.

Similarly, if Obamacare isn't repealed in the next few years, it never will be.

America will begin its ineluctable descent into becoming a worthless Western European country, with rotten health care, no money for defense and ever-increasing federal taxes to support the nanny state.

So let's consider which of the Republican candidates are most likely to succeed at these objectives.

In order to allow Democrats to indignantly denounce Republicans who said Obamacare would add to the deficit, the bill was structured so that no goodies get paid out immediately. That way, when the Congressional Budget Office was asked to determine if Obamacare was "revenue neutral" over its first 10 years, government accountants were looking at a bill that collected taxes for 10 years, but only distributed treats in the later years.

Starting at year 11, those accountants will be in for a big surprise when the government starts paying out Obamacare benefits without interruption.

Because of this accounting fraud, Obamacare can still be repealed. But as soon as all Americans have been thrown off their employer-provided insurance plans and are forced to start depending on the government for health care, Republicans will never be able to repeal it.

The vast complex of unionized government workers managing our health care from Washington will fight to keep their jobs (for more on this topic, see the Department of Education), voters will want their "free" government treats (for more on this topic, see Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security) -- and even if they don't, there won't be a private insurance market for them to go back to (for more on this topic, see IRS rules favoring employer-provided health care).

That leaves us with Romney and Bachmann as the candidates with the strongest, most conservative positions on illegal immigration. As wonderful as Michele Bachmann is, 2012 isn't the year to be trying to make a congresswoman the first woman president.

Massive legal and illegal immigration has already so changed the California electorate that no Republican can be elected statewide anymore. Not so long ago, this was a state that produced great Republican governors and senators like Richard Nixon, Ronald Reagan, S.I. Hayakawa and Pete Wilson.

**sigh**

[Freedom_Fighter_2001]

Sheesh, Ann, is there nothing Romney cannot do?

[hosepipe]

I disagree 2012 is exactly the year to make anyone smarter than PeeWee Herman President of the United States.. which don’t include Zero Obama..

[shibumi]

Proof positive that a beautiful face and a glib wit are not sure indicators of good judgement.

[SumProVita]

She entirely MISSES the foundational, philosophical significance of this election!

Ann Who?

[Politics4US]

She was a Bush supporter for eight years. I don’t care who she’s supporting now.

[petitfour]

Does Mitt Romney have a position on illegal immigration?????

[Captain Beyond]

Sigh* is right. Ann can be so right on so many other things but in this case she has bought into the 40/40/20 percent, must have a centrist canidate, vote system and can’t seem to understand this election is about the reputation of B0-The-ZerO. Swinging the socalled 20% moderates and independents is not what is going to win this election it is about principles and using those principles to come up with practical solutions to our problems. It is all about mobilizing WE the TEA Party not the center.

[Marathoner]

As much as I used to like to read/listen to Ann, I just can’t get past the fact that she used to date that worthless POS Bill Maher.

[Syncro]

...is there nothing Romney cannot do?

Makes you wonder, is Romney already a god??

[CainConservative]

Or Christie’s. I feel sorry for her. Something snapped.

Please seek help, Ann -from a fan who has bought ALL of your books.

[Retired Greyhound]

This is getting embarrassing.

It’s one thing to be settling for Romney due to the (false) belief that he is the “most electable”.

But for Ann to continue to try and sell Romney as some conservative stalwart is baffling.

[taillightchaser]

Your 15 minutes are up Ann, go away.

“In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration.”

One of us has moved to an alternate reality...

Obamacare is based on Romneycare. For Romney to appeal Obamacare it would require an admission by Romney that Romneycare was a huge mistake and fundamentally flawed. What are the chances of that... Instead he's going to want to tinker with it because he believes, like all good leftest, that he can make it work where all others have failed...

‘Does Mitt Romney have a position on illegal immigration?????”

Depends on who he is talking to!!
