Or what? You'll stomp your feet? Therein lies the problem with your logic. It just won't happen. Etch-a-Sketch is already backing off the repeal you described. We can demand all we like, but they're ignoring us because can.
If Romney loses because he runs left, its on HIM, not me or others like me who won't vote for leftists. Aim your guns at him, not conservatives. As long as the right is a circular firing squad, the left that controls the GOP can safely ignore us like they did last Tuesday at the convention. We can shout our protests all we like - but they just won't hear us. That's an example of the powerlessness I'm talking about.
Nobody’s demanding perfection here, just a minimum standard. It's still possible for Etch-a-Sketch to convince me he meets that standard, but he's running out of time. The burden is on him. In the meantime, I'll contribute to and vote for every conservative I can find on the ballot. If Romney botches this election, we'll need a congress and state governments full of conservatives to hold the line.
“If Romney loses because he runs left, its on HIM”
Romney isn’t running left, he’s run on a Republican agenda and includes repealing Obamacare.
It’s not on him, the loss will be on US. If Romney loses, we have Obama, Obamacare, job-killing higher taxes, a ‘mandate’ for everything in the Democrat platform from taxpayer funded abortions to gay marriage to more crony capitalist spending (over $600 billion in new spending in the Dem platform) to higher taxes ... and of course Obamacare locked into law. It’s hot HIM who will be suffering, IT WILL BE US.
Why do you want to make my children suffer the consequences of your incorrect perceptions of what Romney will do?
I dont have to stomp anything, the agenda I want is already what Romney and Republicans are planning to do and will do, but the Democrats who wont repeal Obamacare will stomp on ME if they win.
“It just won’t happen.” - This assertion is so out of touch with reality it boggles my mind.
Romney put the #1 most articulate Obamacare critic on his own ticket, Rep Ryan, who schooled Obama on it back in 2010. Romney has promised dozens of times to repeal Obamacare; there are literally hundreds of Republicans running on repealing Obamacare. Boehner has ALREADY had the House pass Obamacare repeal dozens of times, and the only reason the Democrat Senate wont vote on it is because Democrat Harry Reid wont let that happen.
A Republican Congress will be chomping at the bit to repeal Obamacare if they win, and Romney will sign a repeal bill. When Romney was Governor, he took his campaign promises seriously enough that he had a list of them drawn up by his staff, so they could check them off as accomplished. It’s his ‘to do’ list, and Obamacare repeal is at the top.
This election is a referendum on both Obamacare and Obama.
Going AWOL on this election says you dont care about these issues. Claiming you care SO MUCH about these issues you will let Obama get a pass on them is ... insanity.
“If Romney botches this election, we’ll need a congress and state governments full of conservatives to hold the line.”
If Romney loses and Obama wins, then the leftwing Obama Democrats will be the winners all down the ballot, and they will use their power to destroy everything you hold dear. Yeah, good luck with that.
“As long as the right is a circular firing squad ...”
Ummm, look in the mirror.
“the left that controls the GOP”
More insanity.
He's already out of chances with Texans; he dissed us in public and ditched us on his campaign, because he knew we were not going to get a chance to vote for a conservative rival before Mittens had the nom locked up -- certain people, nominal 'Rats, kept Texas in court suing us over reapportionment.
And now the litigators are back, suing again to get the whole Texas redistricting thrown out, threatening to tie us up in court and not let us vote in the general.
Somebody -- we don't even know who, yet -- is playing Texas awfully tough. Did somebody say, Chicago rules? I'd believe it .... but Romney isn't helping any.
Oh, and btw -- this is all AFTER the Supremes prorogated -- a rare occurrence, indicating urgency -- and slapped the original litigating bunch silly, for trying to manipulate electoral outcomes in Texas by tying up the State in federal court.
