In order to defeat Barack Hussein Obama in November of 2012, Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will need to garner support from as broad a base as possible, within the constraint of the fundamental moral and republican principles that lay at the root of our Republic and its constitution, upon which this Republic has thrived for well over 225 years.
As this list shows, in the most important election of our life time, where the failed big government, statist policies rooted in socialism and marxism represented by Barack Hussein Obama which are not only failing us, but destroying us, are pitted against the Hamiltonian and Jeffersonian constitutional republican principles of the Free Market, individual liberty, state's rights...it appears that Romney/Ryan is finding that support.
Look at this list and see how broad a spectrum they span and understand, that in today's world, with today's society, that span is necessary (again within those fundamental constraints) to decisively win and govern our nation.

Critical Romney/Ryan Endorsements
Romney/Ryan intend to cut Federal Regulations, cut Corporate and individual taxes, eliminate unnecessary and burdensome federal waste and programs (like ObamaCare), cut Federal Spending and Programs, reform necessary programs, embolden and allow private industry to rebuild the Free Market, stop using the Federal Government to abjectly interfere with and infrinfge on Institutions, Businesses amd individual's Free Speech and Religious convictions, established a blanced budget, put in place a plan to eliminate America's shameful and massive 16 trillion dollar debt, get out of the government ownership of large segments or corporations within the free market, support the Defense of Marriage Act, nominate strict constitutionalists to the bench in general and the Supreme Court in particular, ensure ISrael is defended and stop Iran's nuclear ambitions, bolsters America's military defenses, defend America's borders, stop extending citizen rights to criminals who have violated our soveriegnty, send illegal alines back home to get in line like everyone else for entry into this country, develop America's vast energy reserves including oil, gas, coal and nuclear, hold China and other foriegn governments to task for their unfair, government subsdidized trade and monetary polcieis,open up federal lands for energy exploration, move towards American energy independence, and re-emphasize the traditional moral values at the heart of our liberty and Constitutional Republic.

These actions will create, in relative short order, a massive turn around in America's economic situation producing a literal hiring bonanza. Suc a turnaround will probably start with the enrgy sector, but extending from there. As with Reagan, the difference will be so marked as to lead to a complete laandslide election in 2016 as Americans vote for their own prosperity and freedoms which will so amply be on display at the end of the first four years of a Romney/Ryan administration.
Then imagine, after eight years of the same, another eight years under a Ryan administration advancing and strengthening the same principles and values and re-establishing that "Shinging City on a Hill," envisioned by Ronald Reagan.
Contrast this the Obama administration and its progressive/socialistic/marxistic policies of no budget (much less a balanced one), continuing/endless massive deficits and debt growing at a faster rate than any other administration (or two and three administrations combined) in history, 16 trillion dollars in current debt (enough if single dollars bills were stacked on top of each other to reach to the monn and back..TWICE!) - another 6 trillion the last four years by Obama alone, the destruction of the free market, massive failed stimulus plans where tax payer dollars were used to pay back crony supporters of the Obama administration, the longest and highest sustained un- and under-employment rate since the Great Depression, embarrasment abroad as American allies are pushed away and embarassed openluy while America's enemies have been out and out supported and even embraced, an absolutely porous national border, a debilitating energy policy that is intent and with a will driving whole sectors of American energy production out of business, the trampling of the rule of law by an executive who is literally over-riding congress and ruling by executive fiat (reference the DOMA, unilaterally granting legality to hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens, over-riding Welfare regulation established by Congress in law, etc., etc.), illegally running guns to Mexican Drug cartels in the hopes of more gun violence so new gun laws can be imposed and where American law enforcement agents have been killed by those guns and the whole thing sought to be covered up by the Attorney General and the President.

Consider that more American are now on Welfare than ever in history, more American now live in poverty than ever in history, more Americans pay absolutely no tax for their own support than ever in history, more Americans are now under or un-employed and for a longer stretch of time than ever before in American history, more American businesses have moved off-shore to escape excessive regulation and tax than ever before in American history, the Corporate taxes in America are now the highest in the entire world. Then, consider the following list of disgraceful and dispicable "firsts" for any President in American history:
Obama's Tragic "Firsts" As President
Since there is absolutely nothing in his record during the last four years to run on, either financially, economically, job creation, foreign policy, the borders, etc. to point to and run on...the Obama administration has descended into one of, if not the, most negative and vitriolic campaigns in American history. He is telling his crowds that the republicans want dirty air and water for their children (meaning those people he is talking to), that Romney wants children with Downs syndrome to "fend for themselves," that the Romney/Ryan budget will harm the eldrely by robbing them of their medicare...when the actual truth (which is out there for all to read if people will just do it on their own) is that the Romney/Ryan plan protects anyone age 55 or over and leaves their plan intact, while overhauling the plan for younger citizens to privitize portions of it so it can become profiatable and sustainable so that there is a medicare program in the future, rather than letting it go bankrupt. In fact, worse than that, Barack Obama himself has raided the Medicare fund for over 700 billion dollars to help fund OBamaCare, thereby hastening the date when it would go bankrupt. But he does not mention that.
Obama and his campaign have actually accused Romney of being responsible for the death of a woman whose husband was laid off from a steel plant that Romney's company tried to save. But he was laid off two years after Romney left the company, and six years before the woman died...and the woman had her own health insurance through her place of employment even though the man had lost his. Such unbelievable out and out lies are all the Obama campaign has to sustain itself. Another one is, that somehow, even though he was a governor, and even though this is his second Presidential campaign and he is a very well known person, the Obama "team" is claiming that the reason Romney will not release more than two years of his tax returns (which is two years more than the law requires), that Romney is a felonious tax cheat and paid no taxes those other years...even though there is not a shred of evidence to back up such a claim, and even though the IRS would have long since found out if someone so prominant had not paid any taxes. Such claims are pure theatrical, malicious lies and distractions to keep people from talking about Obama's record...the essence of which he is trying everything he can to avoid talking about.
Sorry, Barrack Hussein Obama...it is not going to work. The American people are awake, and when it comes to America, her prosperity, her liberty, and her goodnes and greatness...with the help and grace of God, and without any thanks whatsoever to you and your ilk's absolutely failed policies, we know that when this thing is turned around, we will be able to bow our heads, and thank God and know, that with His help...YES WE DID BUILD THAT!
What a contrast between these two visions of America!
One is traditional American and focused on the Free Market (emphasis on "free") and on initiative, responsibility, accountability, self-governance, true compassion, and traditional American values. The other is focused on statism, compulsion, irresponsibility, and the will of a very few elitists deciding how the rest of us should live.
The hard truth is that another four years of the rapid and escallating descent into ruin that is being not only led, but encouraged, by the Obama administration could put the Republic in a place where it will be difficult, if not impossible, to recover from it in any single generation...if we can recover at all.
Is this what Americans want for themselves, their children, and grandchildren? The stakes could not be higher...literally the future of this nation and the future prosperity of our children and grandchildren. In November 2012, Americans will have a choice, and they will get to decide which of these visions they want for themselves, their families, and future generations.
God grant, that as with 2010, when a referendum on Obama's performance in his first two years produced the largest turnaround election in the history of U.S. mid-term elections, that the American people will stand and put an end to this tragedy and dispicable record and produce an even greater turnaround in 2012.
FYI...the stakes we face in 2012. Please ping others if you have a mind to.
From your lips to God's ears...amen!
Thanks for the ping!

Not so fast...
I spoke with a commerical banker and via Dodd-Frank they are scared of writing loans because they do not know if they will violate regulations that haven't been written. So does it repealed ASAP? One would hope...
In another conversation with a noted American that I cannot name, we discussed "the turnaround". Again it may take time was their answer (and not investment advice here) those in on the front of it might do rather well if they are willing to take the risk.
Obama and company have so FUBAR'd so many sectors of the economy and the way even goverment operates, I am skeptical of a massive turnaround on a dime, and I don't think we should get peoples hopes up only to have them dashed and hammer Romney/Ryan in the mid-terms.
I am not skeptical of "Capital" going off strike after 1/21/2012 however....
Amen, my FRiend...that is precisely what they seek to accomplish by appealing to the worst traits of human nature to ensnare our citizens to their wretched shackels.
Agreed that it will take time...but if they jumpp start everything with energy in a big way, and quickly move to remove oppresive regulations and lower corporate taxes as they promise...I believe it will occur much more quickly than we otherwise might think. A LOT of businesses are sitting on investments and waiting to see if Obama goes away...if he does, and if Romney shows the signs of doing what he promises, they will open the coffers rapidly.
Amen to that...may His Grace and His arm be there to help us in this endeavor.
People here in America have no idea just how precarious their existence has become. No idea at all.
[Obama and company have so FUBAR’d so many sectors of the economy and the way even government operates, I am skeptical of a massive turnaround on a dime,]
It will take a decade(s) to recover, the economic numbers are just horrendous both here and globally. Japan, Europe, US are all bankrupt from Eurosocialism and Keynesianism.
Certainly Obama must go, but Romney is not a god.
FYI.
It is curious to see John Huntsman on that list, since he is one of the featured speakers at the Democratic Convention this year.
The key to winning, as always, is to get your party base to TURN OUT TO VOTE for you. If you can do that you will almost always beat the other guy.
If you can't, you lose.
So, is there some reason Republicans should vote for a Democrat that we don't know about? Must be a secret here.
I am speaking of the ones who created the largest mid-term turnaround election in history in 2010.
The people who ensured that their Governor, who was doing exactly the opposite of what Obama prescribed, remained in office in Wisconsin by a larger majority than the elected him there in the 1st place.
Thoes people...those Americans.
In that case the base did turn out, but a whole bunch of people crossed over and voted against Carter who was messing up so bad that the impact was felt by all Americans...and most of them responded accordingly. Those folks who were democrats became known as the "Reagan Democrats".
As bad as Obama's record is. As many peope, even people who voted for him initially, as have been hurt by his policies and his refusal to not only back off away from them, but to double down on them after the 2010 elections...given that hurt that is being felt across the nation, I believe we have the chance to see the same thing happen in 2012.
Three months will tell us.
Excellent thread and thanks for the ping
Thank you very much Jeff! Excellent work from you, as always!
Not True. This was debunked quickly by Mark Levin and his daughter on Twitter.
