Scott Walker's win in Wisconsin was magnificent for many reasons. Big Labor was given a fatal blow. Our homosexual agenda pushing president was handed another stinging rebuke. The Sit-Down-When-They-Pee-GOP-E saw that sticking to Conservative values can lead to landslide victories, even in the birthplace of the Progressivik Movement. If I wasn't so darn manly, I'd say I got a thrill up my leg. (Or is that diabetic neuropathy ? Maybe the death panels will let me find out if they deem me worthy of life, but I digress.)
Most of important of all, the individual won.
You see ladies and gentlemen, the true message of the Wisconsin Massacre was this: Get your damn hands out of my pockets, already. This vote proves that people have had enough of funding other people's lavish health care and retirements. This vote proves people have had enough of being called selfish because they want to keep more of the money they earned. This is a good thing. This proves that the reports of the death of Rugged Individualism have been greatly exaggerated.
We are winning, folks. The Dorky Left can have all the commie rallies they want. They can trash as many state capitols as they want. They can "Occupy" whatever they want. They can wander around chanting "Hope and Change" like malfunctioning automatons as much as they want. But when push comes to shove, America is a center-right country, much to to the chagrin of our Leftist Oppressors.
Now this doesn't mean we can sit on our laurels. Far fom it. We the People must still actively fight They the Progressiviks. Every time the Clenched Fist of Socialism appears, we have to beat it down. (Politically, of course.) Granted, it can be as frustrating as a game of Whackamole, but it can and must be done. Once freedom is lost, it's gone forever. Yes, this is a victory we should cherish, but we should always remember that we're on the edge of complete political, economic, and social disaster as a nation. This is a battle that must be fought, but as we can see, it's clearly winnable.
All we need is a few good individualists.
You're simply not getting this, and I mean that in a nice way.
Romney has proven by his record in office that he's just as much a liberal as any Democrat. That is a fact, friend, and you can't wish it away no matter how hard you try.
Now, go ahead and vote for him if you feel the alternative is worse. I certainly won't try to convince you otherwise. The only thing I'm trying to get you to see, is that Romney is not going to govern like a conservative, because he ISN'T one.
If you go investing faith in him that he's going to reverse or stop all (or even most) of Obama's catastrophic agenda, you're going to be severely heartbroken when he doesn't.
Try not to set yourself up for that disappointment.
Romney WAS a businessman. He simply lives off his investments today, and runs for president to stay busy.
You are still refusing to confront the fact that Romney has a LIBERAL record in government. That is a FACT, which cannot be denied, no matter how much you twist and squirm.
He was a successful businessman before he was Governor of Massachusetts, but that experience didn't affect the way he governed the state one bit. Once he was in government, he sided with the left, and furthered their agenda. That is what he did.
Again - vote for him if you must, but just do so knowing that he's not going to be a conservative president. Not even close. His record proves it.
You sold me. Obama 2012!
What? Geeez, you must not have gotten the flyer in the mail. Its ABOorR, ok?
And you never know how he will govern now.
If you don't vote for Romney you will help obama.
There is a difference.

You truly are immune to facts and reason. Alright. I think I'll just let your comment stand as a testament to that.
