Here’s another fallacy - that voting for Romney is somehow going to “save” the country because “at least he’s not Obama.”
“Obama’s going to destroy the country!!!!!” we always hear. “At least Romney will be teachable!!!!” we always hear.
Here’s a question I have asked these ABO Romney supporters a number of times, and have yet to find one who could man up and actually answer it:
If Romney is elected, do you think he’d do anything different from Obama, at a liberty level? And if so, then what (besides wishful thinking) is your basis for that opinion?
Will Romney roll back the gun control laws in this country?
Will Romney do anything to stop the TSA overreach and abuse, the VIPR program, or anything else in the “security circus”
Will Romney roll back the abuses and overreaches in the PATRIOT Act?
Will Romney work to repeal the Food Safety Modernisation Act, which basically allows (and has already been used for this) the government to prevent people from producing food on their own private land, even if just for personal consumption?
Will Romney do anything about Agenda 21?
Will Romney refrain from using the powers the government has granted itself to indefinitely detain American citizens on American soil, if they are accused of “terrorism”?
Will Romney eliminate the “czars” instead of continuing them as an institution?
You can be sure that Obama will fail this “test” you’re proposing. At least with Romney, there’s a chance that the answers to your questions will be to the county’s benefit. The primary reason I have hope for Romney is his selection of Ryan: That, to me, demonstrated Romney is seeking to change the politics-as-usual situation.
Romney won’t do anything about those issues. Maybe a Tea Party led House and Senate will make some inroads on those. Maybe.
Romney and the republicans will bring spending and taxes under control, stop crippling regulations from the likes of the EPA and adopt a “drill baby drill” policy.
I can’t stand Romney but my family may not survive financially should O get re-elected.
