That would be logical if we were discussing someone like GWB, but this is Willard Romney we're talking about. The man is an abject, big L, liberal. He's barely half a step to the right of Obama. Throwing ones support behind him, as a logical conservative choice, makes no sense whatsoever.
Levin can't think, in my opinion. He's stuck in some non-existent paradigm. Romney will govern nearly identically as Obama, but without the charm (/sarc). Their agendas (by actual documentary evidence) are practically one and the same. There's nearly no daylight between them, yet we're supposed to believe that he's the safer choice.
Romney is NOT the safer choice, because Republicans will give him a pass on a heinous political agenda, where they'd be in FIRM opposition to Obama, were he to present the exact same things to them.
You would think that someone as smart as Levin could see this.
1. Palin
2. Cain
3. Gingrich
4. Santorum.
One of the last things Breitbart said was, work like Hell for the candidate you want, but if your candidate does not win, you have to consolidate behind whoever wins, because if you don't you are joining the evil of Obama. Romney is not our candidate of choice, but to say he is a half step to the right of Obama is simply false, abjectly idiotic, and flat out wrong.
Obama represents evil incarnate, I'm sorry, Willard is a RINO squish, but he does not hate America or its exceptionalist premise, he will not abandon free markets, he will not nominate Sonya Sotamayer or anything like her, he will not kill babies indiscriminately, he will not kill us with class warfare or racialist nonsense, he will not put up with a racist, fascist, bumbling idiot as AG, he will not put up with things like Fast and Furious.
I could go on forever, please understand RINO does not equal EVIL DICTATOR! There are ways to push Willard to the right, there isn't a prayer in Hell with the One.
