Dr. Sowell nails it as always.
And Romney isn't one to let the truth get in his way when destroying an opponent!
Our country hangs in the balance...and we get this Eddie Haskell character as our champion?
Obama wants to face no one else but Romney. His whole campaign is geared up ready to defeat Mittens who will look like a deer in the headlights. He even had his surrogate, Donald Trump endorse Romney with a threat that he will run independent if Romney doesn’t get the nomination.
If Mitt Romney wins the Republican nomination I AM STAYING HOME. I don’t care. We need someone to head off the collapse that’s coming and Mitt ain’t it. If he somehow wins the Presidency he will do nothing to avert the course we are on and the Republicans will be blamed for all time.
“Eddie Haskell character as our champion? “
LOL....hope Sowell reads this thread. He would appreciate that one.
Thank you Dr. Sowell!
Excellent, and right on the mark again. Thanks for the ping jaz.
Yes! I noticed that the great Mr. Sowell didn't come right out for Newt in this article (other than to emphasize that he's more of a fighter than Santorum) as he did a week or so ago. I can't second-guess that great mind but would assume it's because not enough people took him up on going all-in for Newt and he doesn't want to taint Santorum.
GO NEWT!!!
Dr. Sowell nails it again. Thanks, jazusamo.
Those two need to work as a tag team, and take out Mittzy. Once that's done, they can run as a ticket and hash out who gets to be at the top to face Obozo.
Well said. That’s the only way I can see our party and country coming out ahead on this election. If Romney gets the nod it’ll be a disaster and I’m not believing any of this talk of a brokered convention.
Very visionary article and so true. Thomas Sowell knows what needs to be done.
** President Newt Gingrich-”Our beloved republic deserves nothing less.”
Coincidentally, on another thread earlier today, this was my post:
Not only does Romney seem to lack the ability to inspire us with the ideas of our Declaration of Independence from a "big government" tyrant (King George III), and the similarity of that King's actions to the tyranny we face today, but he also cannot convey the "vision" thing for our future which harmed Bush 1's candidacy years ago.
"The People" who make up the 60 - 70% of Republicans who don't vote for him likely have studied their American history accounts of Jefferson, Washington, Adams, and Madison, and are looking for a modern inspirational leader like Reagan--a man who had taken the personal time to immerse himself in the ideas essential to liberty, and was willing and able to recognize the enemies of freedom and to engage in a battle of ideas against the counterfeit ideas of socialism.
"His casual writing off of the President as "a good man who is in over his head," or that "does not understand how the economy works," is either naive or a dangerous deliberate mischaracterization."
Yes he does and he does it consistently.
Dr. Sowell started speaking out against Obama nearly a year before the general election and he didn't waste any time speaking out against Romney on this go around. He's been right on the money with both and hasn't changed his views in the least with either.
Good post, Romney doesn't have the ability to inspire patriots due to his lack of vision.
Just read some interesting old Gingrich quotes on brokered conventions...

What kind of an argument is, “You should support Romney because other people are going to”? A dumb one! I almost expected Dr. Sowell to say, “If everyone else was going to jump off a cliff, would you jump, too?”
Great article, sums up Romney’s chances (or lack of) rather nicely. He’s trying to sell something that RINOs will buy, but Conservatives won’t, and Conservatives know he can’t take the fight to Obama, Obama will bring it to him.
