Can’t help myself, I’m compelled to post my Romney endorsement again.
“Who thought a year ago when Conservatives were saying “ANYBODY BUT oBAMA” we would actually get the anybody? It’s time to “swallow the bitter pill”, “eat crow”, “gangrene has set in, time to cut off the foot”. I do not believe voting third party or not voting will result in obama being removed from office. I also believe that electing Romney will not begin to solve our problems but at least we will be able to look forward to elections in 2014 and 2016. If obama is re-elected I believe any future elections will be a complete sham. A bumper sticker that read “VOTE for the RINO, IT’S IMPORTANT” would be in order but may dampen enthusiasm for those that have it.
There, that does it Romney now has my official endorsement, my promise to vote for the Republican nominee will be honored, I’m also going to send a small check to the NRC, probably with a note attached, and a small check to the Romney campaign, with a note attached, and a check to Newt to help pay off his obligations and a note attached thanking him for what he has done for Conservatives, Republicans and the Nation and for stepping forward again in these troubled times and pointing us to the right path even though we chose to turn left.”
A pastel endorsement, but at least you’ve faced reality.
I respect your right to see this FUBARed situation in any way you wish, but allow me to just lay out another view.
It's a documented fact that Romney is a liberal with a record that would make any left-winger proud. He's not going to suddenly change his stripes, just because he's now the president. In fact, like most first term presidents, he'll feel omnipotent and freshly confident in his vision for America. This means that he'll be following much the same political path as Obama has, albeit without the racist, Marxist overtones of anti-Americanism.
We're very likely to have a Republican dominated Congress next year. If Romney becomes president, he also becomes the de facto head of their party. Given the reality of the game of politics, they're not likely to oppose his agenda, even if it goes against the grain of everything they personally campaigned for in their own quest for office. They're going to circle the wagons around the 'boss'. Such has it ever been in US politics.
Now, if Obama is re-elected, that same Congress will fight him tooth and nail over his agenda. They'll oppose him for the simple fact that he's on the other side (and perhaps because they really don't support his agenda).
In these two scenarios, at the end of four years, you're going to see a lot more progress of the Socialist agenda with the Republican as president, than you'll see with the Democrat as president.
