I’ll admit that this is the worst possible scenario as I prepare to hold my nose for the second Presidential election...in a row. You left me with good points to ponder in addition to whether I can financially survive 4 more years of intentional and wanton destruction of this country that we all love.
I believe that your post was particularly succinct in capturing what is the essence of the dilemma when we are presented with such meager options.
Thanks.
In regard to the presidential race, I myself am taking the position for now that until the convention is a done deal that conservatives still have options. Those who are resigned to Romney now because of the media are like sheep.
Competition e.g. the primaries is not only about the people that will REPRESENT it is as well about the ideas that will be represented and who best will carry the conservative banner premised upon their pledge to embrace the ideas; embrace the platform.
If Romney even wants to have a chance to get my vote then he will have to earn it and that entails adopting the conservative platform RATHER than asking people to pledge to him and sign on the dotted line HE NEEDS to make a pledge to the ideas, some of which he has a history of not promoting.
Again, we elect an executive and not a King and I could care less how he feels as long as he promotes and adheres to the platform e.g. He will IMPOSE upon the left if necessary to execute conservative governance; RATHER than compromise conservative principle with a lame politically correct disclaimer stating a belief in conservative principle but no wish to 'impose' such principle.
We require an unapologetic conservative -not a metrosexual toe tipping pansy that looks good in a suit!
