“The social issues are important, and many of us hold them dear, but the vast majority of American voters will ignore them, if their main concern is finding a job to put food on their tables. Because of this, it’s much more difficult to be elected by stressing the social issues as opposed to the fiscal ones. Romney will be much better for the economy, and their chances for work, than Obama will.”
Well the polls I have been reading show that Romney isn’t seen as that much better on the economy. So, you can kiss that off. Look, and I say this gently...you have been in Mass too long and your perspective is warped by what you are surrounded with. Romney WAS NOT a good governor...not on social or fiscal matters. He wasn’t really a good businessman either. He was a vulture capitalist. Anything good that came out of Bain was in spite of Romney, not because of him. He just provided the capital.
To appeal across the spectrum and beat Obama, we conservatives must promote all three legs of conservatism:
Social/Moral, Fiscal, and National Defense. I ONLY consider the first most important because IF you get IT right, the others WILL fall into place.
My perspective doesn't have any thing to do with Massachusetts. I simply do not want Obama anywhere NEAR the Oval Office after Inauguration Day, 2013.
We can work hard to get conservatives in Congress all we want, but with Obama still the President, all our work will go for nothing, because he'll still do whatever he wants; we've already seen it in his first term, and he'll have absolutely no constraints in a second. He will believe he has a mandate, and will ignore anyone acting to the contrary.
