I'm a little think-headed, so I appreciate you pointing out the sarcasm - I don't always recognize it. :)
i do hope a couple of the ABR FReepers on the thread will engage the question I posed. Romney was not my first choice (I voted for Santorum in the Ohio primary), but he's the only choice now, as I see it - I just can't see how helping Obama get reelected is going to put the conservative movement in a better position in 2016. Not that it would matter - Obama will pick two or three Supreme Court justices if reelected, and anything a conservative Congress and President would pass after a potential 2016 win will be struck down, anyway.
I remember reading a piece about Perot's impact on the 1992 election. The race in Ohio came down to a few votes per Congressional district, which meant that Clinton carried the state, and the White House, because Perot hated the Bush family. The Anyone But Bush voters won that year, and look what it gave us; I choose to not repeat the mistake this time around.
Ryan may turnout to be a better pick....than Reagan’s pick of the first George Bush..We need to fix the economy and debt first...then work on the social issues...it took fifty years to get here..it may take fifty years to fix it..
