If Romney gets the Primary there is no recovery from the trajectory we’re on nor will Republican Party survive the next four years as it continues to take on Democratic “likes”. We don’t have decades to clean up this mess....
You make me really miss President Reagan—more than should be normal or psychologically healthy. :(
If Romney wins the nomination and wins the Presidency, the US Republican Party will become just like Canadian Conservative Party. It will shove aside virtually all social conservative positions, it will embrace high taxation as a means to tackle the deficit, it will endorse “stimulus” spending and full-scale public/socialist health care. It may still be pro-Israel and pro-military, but it will otherwise be indistinguishable from the Dems in terms of issues like abortion, homosexual “marriage”, corporate subsidies. illegal immigration, entitlements and the general growth of government. Our Conservative Party is about a 5.5 on the liberal-conservative continuum, with the Liberal Party a 4.0 and the NDP a 3.0. Right now, your GOP House Caucus is about an 7.5 and the GOP Senate Caucus about a 6.5. The choice of your Presidential nominee will determine whether those numbers continue to slide toward liberalism or whether the GOP will become a conservative party.
