Yeah, sure. The GOP-E runs against socialism as they embrace their own version of such.
And Romney is basically a doomed candidate, IMO. He doesn't inspire the base. He takes Obamacare off the table as a significant campaign topic. He can't run against Wall Street's backing of Dems. He can't run against TARP. In other words, he is the worst possible candidate for this election cycle, but he had the money to destroy the other candidates. Now, against Obama, he will not have a money advantage, so he's toast.
THAT is a rational assessment of the situation. It isn't that he isn't conservative enough. It's that we have no idea if he means a word he says, other than when he says he wants to be president.
Our primary objective in 2012 is to defeat Obama and as many of his LIEberal/Socialist/Marxist/Fascist hangers-on as we can.
Lets get that done, then we can remake the Republican Party into a Real Conservative party!
