Well this is an interesting turn of events.

I must thank Mr. Robinson for what had to be a painful look at the bad facts and the honesty of the financial situation.

I don’t normally post in these longish threads for getting lost in the noise but I’ve for quite a while been pondering a political path, if for no one but myself, in the event that another crap sandwich, this time named Romney, would be shoved down our throat.

And I’ve come to some conclusions, thoughts, opinions and analyses and FreeRepublic is just the forum to hear me out.

First, we all know there’s an establishment GOP, an establishment GOP that gave us Gerald Ford, Bob Dole, John McCain and Mitt Romney. Every time they tell us that we need moderates, middle-of-the-road types, that “extreme” right-wingers can’t win the “Independents”.

Under that guise they’ve managed to settle in real comfy like in a political class that is quite to their liking. Now we must “reach across the aisle” and they’ve learned the political ways of their Democratic colleagues.

I am from Delaware and remember Mike Castle, who is now gone and I thank God every day, every damn day. I know a thing or two about how the establishment GOP will reach across that aisle with polished nails but will rip off your head and crap down your neck should you threaten their power.

We are to believe that all those years the Democrats were manipulating our banking system giving a mortgage to anyone with a pulse, a practice that eventually collapsed our home market and all that is monumental to the middle class….we are to believe that the Republicans….let’s use John McCain for a moment….KNEW NOTHING?

NO WAIT! McCain was all busy reaching across the aisle to Feingold making that stupid Campaign Finance Reform law and don’t we all go to bed every night thanking God that this law that had us all so worried is now the unconstitutional law of the land? Meanwhile Crystal and her pimp get a mortgage and can’t pay it, of course, but they live in their socially manipulated home gift awaiting government bailouts. It’s hard to be working so hard on meaningless laws that are for naught but getting our name on legislation to make us look good for our election to the presidency and pay proper mind to the governing job we are really supposed to be doing.

We are to believe that as illegal aliens were pouring into our country with no bother of fences and other mandatory federal frou frou, we are to believe the Republicans knew nothing?

No need to go on. I know that yon reader knows all this. You would also know that of late us natives have had the audacity to get restless, to begin to ponder why our representatives don’t represent US, that they seem more intent in being Democrat lite for cocktail party invites and a vote for more pork money to keep them in power.

Now we are in a position of having to vote for yet another Democrat Lite. I do not believe for a minute that Romney will trash Obamacare completely, that he’ll throw that Dream Act out the window, that he’ll make those mortgage freeloaders pay their bill or get out the door.

Oh he’ll do something to look like he’s tossing us crumbs, to appear as if here he is here to save the day, to pour drops of water down our parched throats that yearn for the America we had, to appease us and shut us up but will end on the same path as Obamer, albeit slowly we go over the cliff.

Here’s what I think we’ll happen. And I speculate here and must warn I am right about as often as Dick Morris.

Folks like us will suffer Romney (yeah most of will vote for him, the alternative is too horrific.) If we’re lucky we will slow our destiny with that cliff and in the four years of Romney’s presidency (I really DO think he will win)we will see the light. Unless the world turns upside down and Romney becomes a genuine leader who steers the helm of the ship of state to a right course, gets rid of the travesty of death panels in any form, begins defending our borders….the stuff of a free and vibrant leadership is what I’m saying here, then we will spend the first four years of Romney frustrated and gritting our collecting teeth.

As one who spent eight plus years getting spit upon by Mike Castle, trust that you can mistreat people for so long before they go ballistic.

THEN WE WILL START OUR THIRD PARTY AND THEN IT WILL WORK!

I really believe this.

We will have four years to watch Romney govern with Democrat lite. We have the Internet. We will have collectively decided that the warning about third parties and how they just disrupt, well by this time we will know the Blue Blood GOP just means that forming a third party, say, a Tea Party, only endangers their hold on power.

Every year Castle was up for election, every year we were told to hold on, just wait, this time he’s really means it, he’s going to retire, we need his vote for committee chairmanships…..on and on the Blue Bloods lied and lied and finally we kicked him out. Not only was it NEVER his final term as we were promised, this past term he actually WANTED A PROMOTION!

So it will be, as I predict, with President Romney. Nationally folks like us, we who took to marching in DC, holding angry town halls across the country….we will get like those Delawarians who threw down the gauntlet and decided better to have the enemy we know than the enemy who pretends to be our friend. The end result is always the same.

The RINOS will continue on in their own party but I predict they will go the way of the Whigs. They will be cut and carved out of that political class and send packing.

THAT is the only good thing I see about this Romney guy. He will serve as catalyst to turn the collective will of the people who carry this country on our backs.

And who knows, maybe the guy will do a good job.

Either way I see this as the final chance for the Blue Bloods.

We’re the ones who fight the wars and raise the citizens and soldiers of tomorrow. We will be the ones who will set this country straight, whatever it takes.

I really believe this.
