Romney gave a good winners speech yesterday. But then, any of them would have given a good speech if they had won.

But, to veer off a little, a case has come before the USSC that has some of the Justices angry and appalled. It is the one where the EPA threatened property owners with catastrophic fines without letting them go to court before the fines were assessed.

Does anyone believe that most of the candidates for President will seriously do anything about rogue agencies like the EPA? Republicans and Democrats alike are guilty of letting this agency abuse and terrorize citizens with little or no oversight.

I simply don't believe that any of them will be able to bring an abusive governmental bureaucracy under control, nor will they make any serious effort to do so.

Honestly? Yes, I think Gingrich would, because Gingrich -- for all his flaws -- gets the Constitution, Gingrich is capable of saying "I blew it, I made a mistake" (as in Global Warming hooey), and as someone else pointed out on another thread, Gingrich certainly did more to actually advance and implement the Reagan revolution than any other candidate in the race.

Reagan said that if the candidate agrees with you 75 or 80 percent of the time, go for it. I don't even see Romney at 5 percent, so he flunks that test with a capital F; Romney has never admitted he was wrong about anything, he has a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of advanding government at every turn, and with it advancing an amoral liberal social agenda.

Gingrich -- he passes, maybe with a C-, but he passes, and he's got a PROVEN TRACK RECORD of advancing things that seriously helped make a better America in the vision of Reagan.

Good grief -- if ever the old saying "Don't let the perfect make an enemy of the good" made sense, it's now.
