There’s nothing to defend about Romney now. I wish more people had voted for him simply because it would at least have cleared Jarrett and Axelrod out of the WH (in addition to the Boy King, of course), but he’s toast now. There was a rumor that Bambi was going to offer him some position, and it wouldn’t surprise me in the least if he took it, just as one final kick in the teeth to us.
That said, he began running for Prez in 2008 (if not before) and bought, threatened or lied to eliminate anybody in his way. If we don’t want a repeat of this, letting some other rich RINO buy the position, we’ve got to start grooming a few good candidates now, so that there’s name recognition and a support base at the very outset. We shouldn’t spend our time tearing down candidates at the outset, especially with mindless invective, but should try to think who we would want and really do something about it. There are actually a number of possibles this time around, and I think several of them actually do want to run. (No more “Dream Candidates” who can’t even decide if they want to run until it’s too late!)
I actually voted for Romney, although it was a real moral question whether I should or not. But I decided that he was marginally more likely to undermine Christianity and kill babies than Obama.
Still, Romney went all the way in favor of abortion while he was governor. He included taxpayer funded abortion as “health care” in his socialized medicine, and he included a member of Planned Parenthood as an ex-officio member of the board of Romneycare.
I’m still not sure whether voting for Romney was allowable in good conscience, but I decided that I would do it, out of horror of more Obama. Anyway, not much chance that he would win Vermont.
But why people won’t admit NOW that shoving Romney down our throats was a terrible mistake is a mystery to me.
