Well said. I would say, however, that if the FR policy is to oppose the GOP nominee if it is Romney, then it ought to try to turn it into a positive course of action and find some other candidate to get behind, instead of simply being against Romney.
Hard to do, as no one with any hope of winning is running third-party/independent. But that could still change.
On the other hand, I have seen it said (on another, non-political, forum), that compared to Obama, Romney is George Washington. There is some truth to that. Obama is the most anti-American president we’ve had. It’s not even close. He’s also the most inept, idiotic man to sit in the Oval Office. It amazes me that anyone could have voted to elect him in the first place. It absolutely angers me that anyone would even consider voting for him after four years of his incompetence and stupidity (not talking about those opting out of voting GOP, but those liberals who actually still actively support him).
Obama is the most anti-American president we’ve had.
Exactly, and if it comes down to Obama or Romney, Romney has my vote because of this. Say what you will about Romney (and I'd tend to agree with you), but he's not anti-American. Try to find one speech, just one, with Obama praising this great country without adding some sort of snide remark. Veiled talk of imperialism, racism [insert ism of choice here] is peppered throughout everything the man says.
On the other hand, Romney's speeches, for the most part, have been downright inspiring regarding the greatness of this country. And he's throwing out plenty of red meat for conservatives. Granted, I don't believe he's a true conservative as most of us here would classify it, but he is better than Obama. And as I've said many times before, getting Obama out of the White House trumps ALL this election.
I believe that's exactly what JimRob did in January. I haven't seen him post anything to make me think he's changed his mind.

Romney is also rich.
According to this website, Washington was the second richest president, behind the Kennedy wealth.
Romney's wealth is going to be used against him, but he can point to the Kennedy wealth as a comparison. He should leave Washington to stand apart from the rest of the presidents.
I'm not saying that you said anything, but I was interested in your reference to other sites that made the comparison. I'm sure an opus is not the best place to pursue this, but it's here that I first saw it, and I can search for this later if I want to reuse the reference.
