Whatever. I catch your drift. But, you seem to have overlooked the direction this country is headed, thanks be mostly to the MUSLIM traitor in the WH. Are you saying we would be looking at the same situation, or worse, if Romney had been elected Romney? I think NOT.
I can't speak for Patton, but 5Cats, it's like either you take this path over the waterfall on your way forward, or that path down the cliff over there. Destination -- future -- is the same, just different paths.
Romney accepts the premise of Obamacare (he invented it) and seeks to "fix" it. Ted Cruz states clearly that all of Obamacare should be REPEALED.
Which one is a Republican?
BOTH OF THEM.
Regardless of intentions or strategies or wishes or fears, when you vote for leftists, leftism results. More often than not, when you vote Republican you're voting for a functional leftist. In 2012, it was blatantly insulting, Coke vs Pepsi, a false choice that most Americans blew off. They're smarter than they get credit for. Give them a real alternative to vote for -- like getting the Federal government out of their schools, or taking government OUT of health care and health insurance -- and watch how many more will vote.
Reality is hitting the fan because when you vote for leftists in your desperation to vote "against" the leftists in the other party, things turn LEFT. As surely as snow and rain fall.
