I hope Mitt does run and hope Mitt does win. That said, I can understand the first reactions of many folks here to the very suggestion that Mitt is signaling “This is NOT over!”. Some might think him a masochist, a Rich Man’s George Zimmerman, if you will, who appears to going ‘shopping for trouble’ every day in the week. I disagree with that reflexive analogy.

I think Mitt has been chosen to do this, to keep trying. Even if he loses, Romney will force the nation to focus on aspects that are lost or that we as a culture are on the verge of losing. I think Romney sees this ‘Casandra’ type ringing of warning bells in the town square as part of his mission.

This one picture says it better than I ever could. Look who is absolutely thrilled with what Romney was moved to do.

This is how Romney would operate as president. He couldn't be counted on to move our nation back to the right. Obamacare, Immigration, a host of other Leftist hopes and dreams, Romney would simply be a vehicle to their destination, not ours.

He's good family man. I get that. He's had business acumen. I get that. We can find those things out there. We do need a man with successful executive experience. I agree with that. We also need someone who is well grounded in Conservatism.

When something comes up, they can wing it off the cuff, because they have viewed life's (our nation's) problems from a Conservative perspective for decades, not just the last eight months, or through a couple of campaign seasons.

This nation must be turned back to the right. Romney doesn't even know there is a Right vs a Left, on far too many issues.

I'm sorry folks, but it's time to either put up or shut up. And Romney is not my idea of putting up. He's merely another way of putting it off.
