As the presumptive nominee of the Republican Party, Romney is better seen as a challenge & opportunity, than an enemy.

Well, such a theory has a major flaw. He is the enemy.

Again, we dare not agree to four more years of a demagogue already drafting unconstitutional executive orders that would make him our Fuhrer.

As bad as another four years of Obama would be, there is something infinitely more dangerous to the republic, and that is a "conservative" electorate with no principles left. THAT is how you create the moral and political climate for a Nazi Germany or a Soviet Russia.

"Well, such a theory has a major flaw. He is the enemy."

You have effectively boxed yourself into a hopeless mindset. Gov. Romney has clearly moved to the right. He is certainly far from a complete Conservative, but he has been moving in our direction. If you insist in treating people in leadership positions, merely as the enemy, when they do not agree with you, and ignore the possible ways to bring them around to our way of thinking, you concede the battle.

If we are only interested in rallying those who agree with us, the cause is hopeless. We have to reach out, and it is certainly more practical to reach out to Mitt Romney, who as I discuss in the article is a "problem solver" in terms of business--and therefore has had to deal before with sometimes unpleasant facts--than most others who have embraced the fallacies that the Left has promoted in the Academies & Media for three generations.

A willingness to look at unpleasant facts is essential to the course, I suggest. The realities are all on our side, but the Media, et al., have poisoned most people's visions.
