I do remember 1994. I’m not reading the liberal media. I wasn’t all that happy about voting for Mitt even then. He was too wishy washy. It was a conservative year in which the republican governor in MA won with 70% of the vote. But Mitt wanted nothing to do with the conservatives and was beaten.

Unfortunately, Mitt’s being pushed on us. I won’t vote for him but I hope he wins over Obama. The only thing for us to do once he’s nominated is work to elect as conservative a congress as possible. He can’t sign liberal bills if they never get to him. He’ll have to be pulled to the right whether he likes it or not. He’s a go along to get along type. As governor, he signed liberal bills and appointed democrats. As president, let’s force him to sign conservative bills and appoint conservatives.

I don’t like the hand we’ve been dealt but the powers that be have pulled all the stops. But we’ve learned their tricks.

This is very dangerous thinking, because there aren't enough actual Conservative members of Congress to stop Willard and his supporters.

The Democrats and liberal Republicans make up a large amount of Congress, and they will most definitely pass the kinds of bills that Willard will sign off on, and he will push things that they will sign off on. In some ways, he's much worse than Obama, because he'll have both Republicans and Democrats supporting his liberal notions.

Watch out what you wish for.

If it's O vs R, my vote -- my ONLY REAL TOOL in the system, goes third-party with hopes Obama squeaks past on a tiny plurality, as a weak, bitterly opposed figure -- or BETTER, that an alternative 3rd party candidate chuck "conventional wisdom" and TAKE A CHANCE, because there are probably going to be more than usual "protest" votes going ABOOR in any case. Risk is the price you pay for opportunity.

As long as we stay a righteous nation, God may smile on us. When we have people who know better voting for an agent of bad government and moral malaise like Romney, because they were so afraid of Obama, and their bad guy wins ....? Making a deal with the devil is loser territory.

I'll pass that deal. I hope America passes that deal -- maybe then God will smile and work a miracle. But as long as people who know better are busy empowering a guy who's done what Romney's done, God's gotta be just shaking His head in disappointment.

There has been an increased interest in the Constitution and constitutional government. I’m writing a book on the subject myself which will, I hope, add to this. I think the people have awoken and will work to thwart further encroachments on their liberty. I see similarities to the 1760’s when the people started to get a sense of the conspiracy against them. We’re learing their tricks.

So, you didn't mean the above after all?

I was talking about the 1994 Republican Revolution lead by Newt, not anything to do with Mitt. Never mind.

“I don’t like the hand we’ve been dealt but the powers that be have pulled all the stops. But we’ve learned their tricks.”

And also, they’ve had to expose themselves somewhat this cycle- massive efforts to defeat the conservatives tend to do that.
