There is one good argument for letting Obama get reelected if all we’re going to get is Obama-lite as the alternative. Obama will be hamstrung by gridlock from the Republican congress, which we’re unlikely to lose. He will have a lame-duck presidency and then be barred from ever running again.
If Obama is defeated, and we get a liberal-leaning Republican like Mitt whose policies don’t turn the country around, Obama can come back like Nixon and defeat him in 4 years, bringing a much more liberal Congress in with his coattails.
A bad, failed Republican presidency does not help us in the long run. It just paves the way for a bigger comeback for Democrats. We need to pick the MOST CONSERVATIVE candidate who can win. Ceding our principles in our own party before we even start the election is a disaster. Do you believe those principles are good for the country or not? How does having an “R” attached to bad principles help us make our party more popular or successful?
It’s extremely short-term thinking to think we need to put up a liberal Republican just to win this election, while not seeing how that sets us up for bigger failures in the future and even an Obama comeback.
So four more years of Kenyan Stalinism would be better for our National Security than Mitt Romney?
Do I have that correct?
Obama will be hamstrung by gridlock from the Republican congress,
