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.
See all of the Romney/Ryan positions on the issues at the following site:
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.
If it is repealed, then it is off the books and done. If it is replaced with a different plan...and that is the key, a different plan altogether and not a revised plan...then the deed is done.
That will depend more on the House and Senate than it will on Romney however...it is their job.
That is why we simply MUST vote in a strong majority in the House and Senate...and not just in numbers, but in the type of Reps. They simply must be Tea Party types who are going up there to clean house, take no prisoners, and not go along to get along.
If we do that, they will bring Romney along and he will come because a huge turnaround will be happening, very positive for the whole country...and he will want to be seen as a big part of it. And if he does...then rightfully so and all the better.
One thing is for sure..with Obama in there as President, these things will not happen.
Another article of mine...on the brighter side.
No question. The down-ticket races are, in many ways, the more important issue this year. Capitol Hill needs to be fire hosed, bleached and fumigated!
BTT
Two words - Senate and filibuster. The Democrats are going to spend the next four years doing what the Republicans have spent the last four years doing - ensuring that the guy in the White House is a one-termer. Romney/Ryan will have a hard time accomplishing much of what you’re hoping for.
All depends on the numbers my friend, and the size of the victory we pull off. We shall see.
If true, and he does this, then Hunstman has gone truly off his rocker.
OTOH, he was Obama's Ambassador to China, and if he were to get up there and talk about his experience in China and then say, that although he "likes" Barrack Obama, he will be endorsing and supporting Mitt Romney for president, it could have a wholly different effect.
...ok, read it now. Huntsman has not confirmed any of this and it's been a week since the report. The sources are unnamed (always leary of that), and Hunstman's daughter is apparently going public claiming it is all a lie.
So, I am unconvinced, and I will believe it when I see it, or Hunstman himself confirms it...in the mean time, he has not retracted his endorsement of Romney, and by the wording, it would be a hard one for him to do.
If you recall I've mulled over the effect of the “push-push-push” for the past few years. It was either just going to grind everyone down and completely de-sensitize the populace with a daily dose of low-grade tyranny, or it was going to ultimately wake people up. The pressure of the jackboot on the accelerator pedal was the main variable at play. From my perspective it seems that the daily grind was working “well” (from their perspective) for quite some time. When they crossed over into hammering hard on religious liberty issues, I think that was the point that a lot more awakening has occurred. (Combined with the crumbling economy that can no longer even be spun into anything palatable.) Too little, too late? As you say, we will soon find out.
I'll check those KWC posts later this evening, thanks. Also, looking forward to anything that I can do to help with the manuscript, you know where to find me (very glad to hear that it is moving along!).
Thanks for the ping!
I think the enemies of freedom and human dignity have made some serious miscalculation with respect to the nature of the American spirit. A fatal blindness, built right into their outlook.
The must not only be defeated. They must be utterly crushed.
Well done, Jeff.
It pains me to think that this could actually be a close election. You have to wonder what people are thinking.
This election, to me, is a mix of 1860 and 1980.
Both elections have tremendous ramifications about the future. In 1980, it was rebuilding America and fighting Communism. Thanks to Reagan, we had a propsperous economy, a rebuilt military, we conquered the Soviet Union without firing a shot, and over 500 million in Eastern Europe and the Soviet republics found freedom.
In 1860, the choice of President foreshadowed a Civil War.
The country was so divided, that people were willing to take up arms against each other. It feels like it again. The bounds of social order that bind us seemed to be pulled unto the breaking point. It is a scary time.
I can only do two things. Pray, and act. Pray for my country, for God’s grace upon it, and act by voting the Communist scum out of the White House, and get others to do so as well.
Then, even if I am not successful, I can look my posterity in the eye, and say, I did my best.
Thanks Jeff. We will do our part.
Romney/Ryan 2012.
” - - - What a contrast between these two visions of America! “
Lemme see now, the counter-culture one is: “If you have a business, that - - - . You didn’t build that! Somebody else made that happen.”
The Mainstream American Dream is: “If I build it customers will come, in spite of the damned US Federal Government!”
Amen to every bit of that!
Same here my old FRiend, same here.
FYI...in case you missed it. A change of pace over some of the other thread regarding Romney/Ryan.
Haven’t yet heard Romney’s position on crooked banksters and brokers....and the corrupt pornography watching regulatory apparatus that caused the GREATEST TRANSGENERATIONAL DISASTER ever to befall the USA ...far greater than anything occurring on 911
..crickets....
Nothing really happens here again in the USA until the foundations of the Republic are underpinned once again
by the Rule of Law.
Great! Thanks...
Wonderful thread! Sorry I missed it on Friday...
I sense Obama is going down to a hard defeat.
Remember what the Clintonites said in 92, “It’s the economy, stupid!”
