Please spare me the man from Massachusetts. It is time to shed the skin of shifty politics and start the New Year a fresh. Romney is an example of a potential disaster for the Republican party. If you want a super extension of the George Bush compassionate conservative theme and a continued blurring of the lines between Republican and Democrats then vote for Romney. I for one don’t want a man who defends Universal Health care. Any Republican who thinks the government should mandate Health Insurance not unlike Hillary Clinton is a conservative in name only. Anyone who thinks insurance is going to solve the Health care cost problem is also crazy. What is driving up costs isn’t lack of insurance.
Romney is a big government Republican not unlike Huckabee. He may talk a good talk and look nice while doing it but what he offers isn’t the conservatism of Reagan it is conservatism light. Meeting the left half way is not the solution to our nations problems. It is a recipe for a continued slide into the pit of spending to feed the antlion of a government which sees no limits to its feeding.
I wouldn’t be surprised if some Fred supporters secretly hope Romney wins the nomination and loses the election, just so they can feel good about themselves, much like the democrats hope we lose the war in Iraq, “for our own good”.
If Fred wins the nomination and loses, it will be there fault, and maybe they’d rather be able to blame someone else.
I’m going to work my butt off for whoever our nominee is, and I am already working hard to counter false statements against ALL of our candidates.
I just got a nice note from Fred Thompson: “Thanks for all you have done to support Fred Thompson’s campaign. Because of your support, Fred is in the position to have a strong showing in Iowa that will send him on to victory and the nomination.”
Unfortunately, some of his supporters here think Thompson is crazy to thank me.
