As Maggie Thatcher said and Ronald Reagan quoted, the problem with Socialism happens when you run out of other people’s money.
We long since ran out. Just since the days of when this advisor brags that it was Romney’s idea, we have moved closer and closer to the financial end of America as we knew it.
Romney bad as he is nevertheless has to know this.
Paul Ryan certainly knows this and Romney has embraced the Ryan view. Ryan doesn’t go far enough, but he offers something, a starting point, beyond where we’ve been, and the abyss we’re starting into.
Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, Rick Perry, Herman Cain, Michelle Bachmann, Ron Paul all appear to know it.
That’s significant to me. It points up that Romney has a disgruntled, even angry, badly fractured mess of a conservative electorate on his hands and that Romney is not an ISLAND unto himself.
IF he acts accordingly, he will listen to the policy change proposals that are essential for our financial survival.
Whether he politically prefers them or not.
If he refuses, then the fractured mess he faces will get messier.
There is absolutely no doubt that Governor Romney pushed abortion, gay rights, gun control, global warming, mandated (forced) compulsory health insurance, higher fees in lieu of higher taxes, liberal judges, etc, and later approved of TARP, bailouts, the takeover of GM, stimulus spending, increasing the debt limit, etc, and stated that he believes more will be necessary. And still approves of gays in the military and states that as president, he will do nothing to change that. And he still says we’ll have to do something to combat global warming. And even after we all know what a failure socialistic RomneyCare/ObamaCare is, he still loves and pushes his bastard brainchild.
The man is a liberal progressive. All of the above is socialist tyranny.
Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God!!
Romney — as we keep being told — is not a NATURAL conservative.
But he’s trying.
He better try real hard. REAL hard.
In the meantime we keep pushing the button for conservatives in local and state elections and holding their feet to the fire.
Tea party conservatives didn’t fold. They went home to find and support conservative candidates, or are running for elected office.
