IMHO Romney is a mercurial opportunist. Right now that’s not so bad because the mercury is running ion the direction of the Tea Party. We just need to keep the pressure on to keep him that way. By pressure I just don’t mean negative attacks, I also mean supporting him when he goes our way and working for him when he goes our way. That way we’ll gain the largest possible influence in his administration. Honey catches a lot more flies than vinegar.
The GOP-e takes your support for granted. They feel comfortable running a socialist as their nominee because they know there are so many dimwitted people out there who see the war as being “democrat -vs- republican” and will vote for ANYONE the GOP nominates. Because they “hate” obama and the democrats SOOO much. These people bank on the fact that these same dimwits haven’t really thought about WHY they hate Zero and the democrats and extended that to why they should hate romney and a significant % of the GOP leadership.
You’ll not be holding ANYONES “feet to the fire”. The GOP congress WILL support enshrining Obamacare as Romneycare. Sure, there will be SOME in the GOP who wont go along with it, but their votes will be replaced by democrats wiling to “work with the GOP” to enact their socialist agenda. The GOP-e KNOWS that there will be no consequences for this because next election you have a choice of a Republican or a Democrat and you will choose the Republican even if he is as big a socialist as the democrat.
They know this because its what we have done for decades...
NO more...
Good take. Even Bush I gave us Clarence Thomas, the finest justice on the Supreme Court, due to exactly that sort of pressure.
