I appreciate your hope, dear friend, that Romney will be all fuzzy and warm toward all the Founders, the Constitution, and to the Christian faith which was known to have fired the foundations for this once great nation.
Extraordinary, however, that we are willing to risk it all betting on the guy who governed and legislated as anathema to all things Christian in Massachusetts.
His known RECORD is what he is running on.
His wife, IMHO, has some of the attributes of a bully in the making, while his own milquetoast countenance belies the proven record of his willingness to pull legs off grasshoppers; as he did in moves toward redistribution of wealth, in MA, his assault on religious liberty, in MA, and his proclivity for abortion (details of which are known far and wide) which for most of his life was his preferred arguement.
Romney Milquetoast cut the legs off all conservative contenders when it was clear he wasn’t wanted by the conservative activists, and he hasn’t thrown us a crumb since. With the backing of the power and money players in the RINO ESTABLISHMENT, who are now socialists, we are cooked.
The convention is the last stand for the grassroots to dump this poseur, but it seems quite clear that since even the Ron Paul forces are reportedly caved that the convention will be now a coronation for the official advancement of a socialist at the top of our ticket.
We do the same thing over and over and dare to hope for different results, so now we have no home. Things have gotten progressively worse and will be even worse next time.
We simply delay our resistance, which guarantees there will be a greater cost when it finally arrives. Or else we go the way of South America.
I'm well aware that some FReepers consider Mitt Romney as Obama in a slightly different form, which I find absurd. Romney may be far from conservative and have once supported abortion but he is hardly the Marxist America-hater that Obama has proven to be. The fact that we have the choice of Romney, who is hardly Romanesque, and Obama, who is clearly determined to destroy the U.S. economy and make his government the master of us all, seems to make the choice clear. Perhaps the forces of socialism on both the left and the right will eventually bring down America but for all his shortcomings, I do not consider Mitt Romney to be the demon you and others have portrayed.
Frankly, the continued deep pessimism about the future of America and the scathing disparagement of the putative Republican candidate for president expressed daily on FR has become like a cancer on one of the best conservative sites on the internet. When I see these lengthy diatribes about the evils of Mitt Romney on FR, I sometimes feel like I accidentally stumbled on the 'Daily Kos'. The left must be enjoying the attempts to demoralize conservatives being waged by other conservatives. Oh, I know, the naysayers are just 'telling the truth'. Gee, thanks. Much more of this Romney-hating 'truth' and we'll all stay home on election day and let Obama have another four years to destroy our county. Count me out.
So Rita, You’re telling me you would rather have 4 more years of the evil we have now. Basically you’re telling me, my wife, children and grand children to go to Hell. That being so, may you rot from inside out for the world to see what you have hidden inside of you.
