Why & How To Support Romney/Ryan

From Virtual Endorsement To Active Support

Our "virtual" endorsement was primarily premised upon two concepts:

1. The critical need to arrest the loss of Liberty, heritage & the remaining fruits of eight generations' labor.

2. The reality of Gov. Romney's demonstrated ability as a "problem solver"--the implied ability to look at all aspects of a situation. The suggestion was that we could move Romney to the right by working on his strengths; by polite, patient & persistent appeal for him to use that perceptual ability, employed to succeed in business & in saving the Winter Olympics, a decade ago, with respect to issues where he has clearly not been on our side in the past. The premise was that our side was based on truth; truth that would become increasingly clear to anyone taking the time to fully analyze the factors, both apparent & not so apparent, in the full context of causation with respect to any situation requiring attention.

The selection of Congressman Paul Ryan for "running-mate," in an election where the fiscal management of Government was to be the prime issue, confirmed our point. It demonstrated that capacity as a "problem solver." Thus, remaining focused on such primary concepts, we now fully endorse Gov. Romney & Congressman Ryan. We will actively support their candidacy. Yet consistent with the same premises--recognizing that there remain issues, every bit as important as the economy, on which we are not on the same course--we will also work to move the candidates further in a traditional Conservative direction. Yet how to do so?

In view of the increasing evidence that Gov. Romney is slowly moving to the right

There is no such evidence, beyond empty, lying campaign rhetoric.

But there is much evidence that he is already retreating to who and what he really is: a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual liberal.

His CBS interview a few days ago made this abundantly clear.

lol. No problem. I can understand why you thought that but really I just want what’s best for the United States.

Your one or two issue fanaticism is actually hurting those very causes. Romney's statement the other day was a reasoned qualification. You may disagree with it--fine. You can certainly argue for a more absolute standard. But when you show such contempt for anyone who disagrees with you, you trigger a closed-minded, negative reaction, from those who only partially agree with you. That is not how to convince people.

The idea of forcing a young woman to bear a violent rapist's baby is offensive to a great many people. myself included.
