“He is the most dangerous man who has ever been allowed in the door of the White House.We need to watch him like a hawk and take away any opportunity or excuse for him to stay.Watch your ass folks. He wants to appoint himself president for life.”
You sure? I read right here that Romney’s far worse.
Romney is syrup of ipecac, Obama is deadly poison. Both options suck but I’ll go with the up-chuckin’.
Yes, but Romney hasn't yet been allowed in the door of the White House, now, has he.
And, I wouldn't be hasty in disputing the "far worse" charge, either. The Democrats only detest us; a GOP insider could precipitate conditions that would sink the party.
We have entered what I would call "The Carthaginian Phase" of our national existence wherein the internal struggles between the major political parties have risen to a level where that is what consumes more and more of their bandwidth; the country itself be damned. We've seen the DNC on this track for fifty years, and we've watched with angst as the GOP follows the DNC's leftward drift, but witness more recent growth in GOP indifference to the voices of actual Conservative voters. Witness how the Romney campaign has been the catalyst for the appearance of a growing body of evidence of size of the rift between Conservative America, and establishment GOP leaders and pundits. See how the "go along to get along" wing of the GOP has now drawn a bright line of contrast between itself and Constitutional Conservatism as a governing philosophy, spurring the rise of a moniker that is an epithet to many, "establishment Republican."
Clearly, the GOP leadership are no longer interested in the input of anyone who's bent on building any real degree of resistance to the leftward drift of this country. They're happy to keep debating the left, and to stay to the right of them, and to maintain a measure of difference between themselves and the left, they just aren't going to debate TOO strongly, nor stay TOO far right, nor differentiate themselves TOO much; that would be too radical for their refined, Blue Blood, country club tastes. Besides, it might really make the Democrats angry, and they might yell at them, and use strong language, and call them nasty names.
Conservatives have read The Constitution, driven an iron spike into the bedrock, tied off to it, and said, "I cannot and will not recant anything, since it is neither safe nor right to go against conscience. May God help me."
In response, the GOP has increased its distance from Conservatives, made multiple attempts at redefining "conservative" further to the left, and generally indicated a willingness to consider making a complete break with its Conservative wing (and roots) should that become politically expedient at any future point, which they further intimate believing to be an inevitability.
Now comes Mitt Romney, standing on the poop deck of the good ship GOP, and — as it churns its way left — bids Conservatives abandon their Rock and throw in their lot with him. No doubt with Romney we'll be able to enjoy an Old Fashioned with ice scraped fresh from a passing berg. My what fun Conservatives will miss for having stayed rooted to their principles back there on the quay.
