But all the RINO’s are hollow. Christie loves sharia law, gun control and his historic gay appointments.
Mitch had nothing to say on the death of Osama bin Laden. Truly remarkable...does this guy even have a soul?
Nothing to say on any foreign policy issue. Truce on social issues. Oh and remember that the first thing ‘super fiscal conservative’ Mitch tried to do was to try to raise taxes. The legislature shut that down.
Jeb Bush. Yeah. Another Bush. OK who comes up with these ‘winners’?
The main reason why I think we wind up with people like this is because no decent or normal person possessed of Conservative principles any longer wants to run for public office.
In order to do so, you either need to check your principles at the door - or not have any to set aside in the first place.
A government grown obscenely large, powerful and bloated with taxpayer money will fight off those who seek to shrink it - especially if it has a champion in the Executive Branch like Obama. On occasion, newcomers and reformers can break through (e.g. - the Tea Party election of 2010). But soon, without leadership, the effort fizzles and reformers are either co-opted or intimidated by the backlash from government institutions and their beneficiaries seeking to preserve their power.
In such an environment, a superficially attractive candidate such as Romney will be consumed, because to quote William Butler Yeats: "the best lack all conviction, while the worst are full of passionate intensity".
