[ Better get used to the fact that there will never be another conservative President of the US. Why ? Well IMHO there are three main reasons.
1 - The US is fiscally insolvent and will collapse very soon. It has the largest amount of debt in world history. Impossible to recover.
2 - Right now the power vultures are picking apart the remains of the US. They will not allow any honest conservative to get in the way because collapse is occurring and this is their last chance at carving up what is left of the Turkey.
3 - Why on Earth would a true honest conservative with integrity ever want to run such a fiscally insolvent country ? Impossible to make this country solvent now. It is over.
The only people who can be allowed the top positions in power for the US right now, or who would actually want to be a part of the corrupt power structure, are the criminally insane. My advice, act as if the US government has collapsed because it will. This is the fall of Rome in fast forward. ]
Sadly you are right, but only if Mitt gets elected, they WILL blame the inevitable collapse on Mitt should he win. If Obama wins re-election and everything tanks it could very well do irreparible damage to the Dimwit party, but as a very high cost to the country.
With Obama, they continue the fake Marxist push, which is really cover for their criminal looting of America. With Romney, they can blame the entire collapse on the Conservative agenda which Romney will only pay lip service toward.
That is where they seem to be taking us, but very strange and unpredictable things can happen while on the road away from Rome.
