He is the problem the Libertarians/Ron Paul crowd always have. They are so busy arguing their political theology they lose any contact with practical political reality.
Romney or Obama will be the next President.
Romney is a pragmatic business man. We will have to work daily to keep his feet to the fire but he will listen to us. Obama is a fevered far Leftist ideologue who will work tirelessly against us.
If Obama is reelected by 2016 we will be so far over the fiscal cliff there will be no climbing back. Romney sees the chart below as a problem. 0bama thinks the problem is we have not spent enough!
FY 1992-1993 Bush 1 and Dem Congress. FY 1994-95 Clinton and a Dem Congress. FY 1996-2001 Clinton and a GOP Congress. FY 2002-2003 Bush 2 and GOP House/Dem Senate. FY 2004-2007 Bush and a GOP Congress. FY 2008-2011 Obama and Dem Congress. FY 2012+ Obama/GOP House/Dem Senate.
Obama added planks favoring Gay Marriage and taxpayer funded abortion on demand up to birth to the 2012 Democrat Party platform.
By contrast the 2012 GOP platform is the most Conservative one in their history. No matter how much one might hate Romney, no one with a brain would refuse to see the stark difference between Romney and Obama on both fiscal and social issues.
With Romney Fiscal and Social Conservatives have a seat at the table, while Obama will actively promote everything real Conservatives are against.
By 2016 everything Conservatives claim to be so passionate about will be legislated. As Roe V Wade should of taught Conservatives once something is legislated it become almost impossible to undo.
Once 2016 rolls around the Judiciary will be so packed with Obamabots anything Conservatives DID manage to legislate would simply be undone by Judicial Fiat.
If Obama is reelected there will be nothing left to win.
After another 4 year term of Obama the USA will be a European style 1 party state with a state directed media, that will allow just enough political window dressing from a “loyal opposition” to keep their peon classes passive.
And those around here who feel their political sour grapes from the 2012 GOP Primaries are more important then the future of our country will have been the active allies of that destruction
My point is that I keep hearing this same, tired, shopworn bullshit every four years. EVERY four years since ‘84, the GOP runs another idiot RINO with a brilliant pedigree of northeastern liberal connections, Ivy League degrees and so on and EVERY four years, mealy-mouthed propagandists like you pop out of the woodwork like bedbugs, giving these same excuses why we should vote for “our” ripe-suck candidate, because their ripe-suck candidate is worse.
After decades of this BS, I’m sorry, I can’t hear you. Ryan’s performance last night cemented that fact. Ryan was supposed to be the “man with the math” and last night, all I saw was another step-n-fetchit junior-league politician. I strongly suspect that, in fact, Ryan can’t do math, he has some junior staffer doing it for him. If I’d been in that debate, I would have pulled the whole thing in on Biden’s head by telling the audience that Biden LIED when he said that he (Biden) didn’t vote for either war - when in fact, he voted for BOTH of them. Ryan let that one slip right on by... why? Because the elites don’t like to really draw blood on each other.
I’m not a Libertarian. I just am smart enough to see that there’s not a dime’s worth of difference between two elitist stooges from Harvard who want to feed on the carcass of America. Ryan’s budget plan relies on business plans by the Underpants Gnomes to achieve his rates of GDP growth which the US has rarely sustained for any appreciable time, and goes way too easy on spending cuts. At least Paul had the balls to call out the level of spending cuts actually necessary to start talking about getting down to sane budget levels quickly. Ryan doesn’t. Romney isn’t. No one is.
I estimate that the US tips over before 2016 under Obama and maybe a year or two later under Romney/Ryan as their plans stand now. I don’t see the GOP in Congress getting serious about spending cuts, and I don’t see the GOP talking about replacing Crybaby Boehner anytime soon, either.
