Is Romney really better, or does he just appear to be so? On one hand, Obama is clearly anti-American of late, seems less concerned with anyone seeing through this. Yet the other hand holds a very polished individual, who is well entrenched with individuals who made bets which help create this economic position. He's even been involved first-hand in destroying companies because it was "profitable" at the time.
My concern with stating a RINO would be better than Obama is that when it comes to crunch time, the RINO in Romney comes to the forefront and America loses.
We see lots of sabre rattling from the Republicans, but what is actually being accomplished. Nothing has been done to Eric Holder, these so-called recess appointments will likely end up with nothing being done, or the Republicans in Congress will push it towards the courts when they have the power to take action themselves.
While I can appreciate Jim's post, my concern is that we essentially receive nothing but crumbs from the party that claims to represent us. Occasionally we see a glimmer of hope, such as from the freshman Tea-Party candidates. But it typically doesn't take long for the Republican establishment, "OUR" party, to stab their very own right in the back and then tell us to toe the party line.
Conservative Republicans have no representation. I would like to see the Tea Party become a formal political party and run candidates on its own. Yes, for a while we would split the vote leading to a temporary succession of Democrat domination. But if it lead to the death and financial starvation of the GOP, I would be for it.
