I am voting to remove Obama. But, let's be real. What you have just stated will likely be proven to be wrong.
The inertia towards bigger government is seemingly impossible to stop at this stage. That is the entire thrust of McCarthy's excellent article.
I consider Ryan an excellent technocrat. Like many others I do not at all put him in Reagan's league; not by any stretch. Yes he can quote Hayek, and Friedman, but his actual voting record goes against the very essence if their deeply held principles.
Remember Ryan vote for ethanol subsidies, Medicare Part-D, No child Left behind. Reagan or any other true conservative would never cast such votes.
With that being said, Romney/Ryan is all we have at this point. Under Romney's leadership and the Statist Republican leadership in Congress, it will be a long shot to truly turn things around.
To those who think otherwise, you are not facing the cold hard reality of the fiscal insanity that likely lies ahead.
The absolute first order of business after the election is a push to remove Boehner and McConnell from leadership positions. If that can't be accomplished then I ask, how the h*ell do you envision our fiscal house being restored??"
Get back to on how well that works out.
A GOP-E sweep will entrench the liberals in the GOP. Boehner is there until the GOP loses the House, and Mitt will run unopposed in 2016. It's their table, their rules, their comittees. Conservatives can pound sand.
