Would have been great, since he brought it up, to explain that the Constitution gives NO authority in 99% of the cases and he’d push it all back to the States, where it should be.
Worst I heard out of his mouth were
1) No reduction in taxes
2) Shore up SS/MediC.
3) Pursuit of Happiness = brothers keeper/social net (WTF?)
So yeah, he had the facts, but he could have really gotten everyone behind him for once.
1) He’s the first person I’ve heard/seen in a public forum unabashedly expound the concept of federalism and pushing anything back down to the states where it belongs to this lunatic marxist yet.
Newt and McPain and Palin and all the others made noise about it outside the ring, but Romney is the point guy who landed the first punch.
2) “c”onservatism according to Kirk/Burke is the veneration of preceding generations. So anyone who comes in and tries to turn the Titanic around on a dime is just going to break the ship or get thrown overboard by the geezers. We’re going to have to honor the amoral commitments that our parents and grandparents committed us to, the same way our kids have to honor the horrific debt we’ve already piled on them. If we default up or down then we become the radical progressives.
