I’ve followed with interest the ongoing debate on FR by those who absolutely refuse under any circumstance to vote for Romney should he get the nomination.
I offer the following metaphor:
You have a terminal disease (Obama). You are offered a temporary treatment to save your life, but with lots of bad side effects (Romney) while new treatment is in development (Tea Party). The new treatment hopefully will be available in about 4 years.
You have two choices – Die or take the temporary treatment.
It won’t even take 4 years. This should have been over by FL and he ended up having to move right and spend around 200 million to get the nomination.
The T Party is going to be more organized and harder on him then they ever were on obozo. We are the growing force in American politics. You are absolutely right, you have to keep moving towards freedom and a half a step is better than none.
Pray for America
Don’t even waste your keystrokes. Many here,on this site, are hopelessly brainwashed.They regularly defy logic and reality.
Your #86. Good analogy.
Another metaphor; ‘Give us Barabbas’. I’m voting against every Democrat on my ballot. And I won’t go silent in the face of appeasing Democrats with a slightly less progressive income tax, Mr Romney. Go Newt!
That’s a pretty good analogy.
My theory, just my speculation do not get yon panties in a wad, is that Romney will govern with an aim to keeping his Blue Blood establishment in power.
The Tea Party, those folks who carry this country on our backs, will rise, this time with a steadiness and stalwartness for we finally learn that the Blue Blood GOP does not want the likes of us and further, it will no longer be possible for us to live with them.
My argument is....vote for Romney. See how he does. He cannot possibly be worse than Obama.
And if Romney does what I think he’ll do, which is to reach across aisles along with his perfectly polished nails, to empower the establishment GOP and compromise on every thing that Hatch and McCain and that babe from Alaska keep their hold on power....The Tea Party will rise and a third party will be formed.
The Blue Blood Establishment GOP will flounder and eventually sink. We’ve got a political class in this country that must be dismantled. Those Blue Blood GOP are as much a part of it as any Democrat.
