TF replies: Romneycare, passed by an alliance of RINO's and Democrats.
And that's not counting the crushing regulation and control on virtually every aspect of energy and food production, as well as consumption, via the whole Global Warming hype that Romney embraces.
A Romney presidency would mean a Republican President bent on bending Americans to government via environmental regulation. COUNT ON IT.
One way or the other (unless a miracle happens), our next president is going to be an authoritarian statist who seeks to expand government control over our lives. Voting for Romney fails to deal with it -- it is whistling past the graveyard.
If it comes to O v R, there is only one way I can see to DEAL WITH IT: cast a presidential vote for the sole purpose of hoping enough patriots are equally as contemptuous of Government Growth, and that when the votes are counted, the vote was so split that authoritarian president in the White House in 2013 is looking at an electorate that rejected him 2 to 1. Forcing a plurality "victory" is the only way to help conservatives fight the next statist president, whoever he ends up being.
Yes, that's clear to many of us.
We need to try to understand, though, that there are many people who chart their lives based upon their fears. They consistently choose what they perceive to be the safest, least challenging path. They view people like us as overly aggressive in the face of danger. They persistently and repetitively describe the dangers that they see because they convince themselves that we must somehow not see the dangers that have robbed them of the courage to directly confront the source of their terror.
There isn't any cure for them; it is just their basic nature. They will consistently choose flight over fight. They deserve our patience and respect.
