I would agree that the government has continued to grow larger, but thank God their are serious conservatives offering serious plans to CUT spending and pay down the debt. Paul Ryan comes to mind. To accomplish this, we're going to have to vote out establishment types like McConnell, Boehner, and Hatch. Speaking of which, things aren't looking too good for our Senator Hatch. He thought he's was just going to skate into his next term. Well, it looks like he has a serious primary challenger in Dan Liljenquist (Strong Constitutionalist). Not sure who's going to win this, but this was very encouraging to folks like me who want to see RINOS, and old “Go along to get along” Republicans sent out to pasture.
So, I guess it's safe to say that you won't be voting in the presidential race if Romney is the GOP nominee? I, along with the likes of Rush, Levin, Palin and others will vote for whichever GOP candidate wins the primary. While I'm pi$$ed to have to potentially vote for Romney, at least he doesn't hate the country, capitalism, or our allies.
If I held the same belief as you, that our nation is doomed no matter what, I would not be able to get out of bed in the morning.
But hey, if this outlook floats your boat, who am I to try and convince you otherwise?
No, he merely despises them utterly, and laughs at conservatives.
Screw the White Hut. Give me the Senate and House, and Congress can use the Hut for artillery practice. You may recall that Slick Willie, the political paragon of the age, didn't like that experience too much.
That depends if you think capitalism is the same thing as corporatism and crony capitalism. If you listen to Levin as you say, then you would know which of those philosophies he believes Romney agrees with.
Romney is as ignorant about the military as Herman Cain or Obama was. Considering that even Obama flip-flopped on a lot of his liberal military-related positions, it's almost impossible to know how Romney would act as commander-in-chief. My best guess is very Clinton-esque, so, as soon as a military action became unpopular, he would pull out and abandon our allies.
As far as whether Romney "hates the country," that's a simplistic statement that I can't translate directly into policy. My opinion is progressives by their nature either hate or at least want to abandon the foundations this country was built on. Romney has described himself as progressive and governed that way in terms of key foundational issues like socialized medicine and homosexual marriage. That makes him not any different from Obama as someone who claims to love the country but undermines the Judeo-Christian tradition and tradition of individualism that made the country what it is.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply. To clarify, I will definitely be voting for the republican nominee no matter who it is. And as an aside, here in Florida I did vote for Newt in the primary.
