Don’t care. Get him in the white house. Get majorities in the house and senate. Change the rules to 51 votes and drag him kicking and screaming back to the right.
And if he doesn’t like it, President Paul Ryan has a nice ring to it.
Exactamundo - the purists would have us wait until our messiah comes around - at which point we will have been in hell for a century.
I’m satisfied with one step at a time - as long as it’s in the right direction.
Romney/Ryan may not be our messiah but they’re one step in the right direction. It will be up to us, the citizens of this country, the bosses, to monitor and make sure our employees (Romney and Ryan and the rest of our representatives) do a good job.
I agree with you. It would be very hard to have this ship do a 180 all at once. You will never get that many people to get on board. But incrementally, with a successful righting of the economy and foreign policy, we can start turning her around and influence more people. That’s my hope anyway. Mitt Romney was not my first choice, or my second, but this is the choice we have and I for one am not staying home come election time. As Sarah says, Anyone But Obama.
Finally some voices of sanity around here. Romney is definitely NOT my preferred choice, but that’s not the point anyway. The point is that the Founders designed a divided govt so that no one office or level has all the power. It makes it far, far more difficult for one man or one office to take the whole thing over.
That’s why the Presidential fixation in this country makes me want to puke. Presidents can’t write laws and can even have their veto overruled. This is why supporting races at all levels is crucial. That gives the left more targets to aim for, and diffuses their attack. Now we have learned that even the states are in play with their ability to enact Voter ID and limit public sector union bargaining, which strangles the Democrat union ATM machine.
If we get good conservatives with backbone in Congress, we hold Romney’s feet to the fire. We MUST start thinking multiprong strategy if we want to defeat them. There are so many angles to attack them from if we are just willing to do so.
On Eastwood, what he did wasn’t Alinsky, it was counter-Alinsky. The problem with ridicule tactics is that when you target someone or something, it at the same time reveals what you fear and/or what is your priority. Eastwood is an icon’s icon, up there with John Wayne, Elvis, Johnny Cash, and Hank Williams. It is quite dangerous and dicey to go after someone like that, and the Left doing so only shows how craven, bankrupt, bloodthirsty, and power mad they are.
With that one little ad lib skit he left them bleeding on multiple fronts. Pure genius.
