Earlier this week I read an article that the Democrats are going to follow the plan used by the hugely unpopular governer of California, Gray Davis in 1998. All polls had him losing to Richard Riordin the L.A. Mayor. So during primary season, Davis’ team spent ot’s money demonizing Riordin as a RINO and insufficiently conservative. Dan Lundgren a conservative got the Republican nomination and rthen was trounced in the general election. Obama is doing the same thing here. The one republican they don’t want to face is Romney who has no actual history of conservative policy that Obama can use to scare moderates and independents. Obama knows Romney will be a formidible debate opponent and the flip flops at worst means that Romney no longer holds positions that Obama supports.

I’m unhappy Perry has been this cycle’s Fred Thompson. I don’t think there is any candidate who gets me enthused the way Palin did...but so be it. In the end, we don’t build up our chances in 2012 by tearing down whoever will eventually run against Obama. Rather than trash talking who we don’t like, find out and promote the values and policies of candidates we like and persuade us to vote for someone; rather than against someone (as the one you are now against may be the one we may need to vote for). ain has neither the money nor the organization to get the nomination. A vote for him is a vote for Romney as the anti-Rino’s are gonna split between Cain, Perry, and Bachman. Of those three, only Perry has the organization and money to take on Romney. Perry’s poor debate performance does not bode well for him as a national candidate; however, if debate prowess were the deciding factor, then Gingrich would be the nominee.
I’m not sure what a “Romneybot” is; if it suggests blindly spouting that Romney is the next Reagan, count me out. My analysis and posts concerning the candidates is not based on who holds the most positions with which I agree (that may be Bachman); my posts concern which candidate I think can raise enough money and win enough states to beat Obama. Beating Oboma is the only thing that matters. All other principals are secondary. It’s no good having principals when not a single one of them will be held by the person in the White House; especially when the current occupant poses an existential threat to every value for which Freep stands. I am familiar with the writings of those of us who post here. IF (and it’s a BIG IF) Romney has had a conservative epiphany, he surely shares many—but perhaps not even most—of the values of conservatives. It is possible he is a Manchurian candidate who plans on continuing to increase the powers of government if elected. Nevetheless, the devil we know (current POTUS), is far more dangerous than the devil we don’t know.
Your post made me think of an article I read earlier this morning.
http://www.nationalreview.com/articles/279983/mitt-romney-s-regeneration-christian-schneider
Mittens is a disaster and has never had any epiphany and the Obama want this weak link.
Mittens supports the
warming hoax , created Obamacare and his aides helped design obamacare, Mittens aide now works for Obama reckless EPA , and he was pro abortion vs now anti abortion .
The list goes on .
Do you really think this rich guy who is so out of touch that he decided to
Rebuild his Calif beach mansion can win at this time.
The guy is phony and cold .
The GOP base will stay home in droves just like McNuts in 2008
Vevey...you’re a senile idiot. Davis beat Simon not Lungren
