Please don’t tell me you think conservatives will have any sort of pull with Romney if he’s elected. He has a record of bending in the direction of a leftward blowing wind, despite the fact that he’s been trying to get elected as a Republican for a couple of cycles now.
The man had every opportunity to build a bridge to the Tea Party from its very inception, but what did he do? He completely ignored and steered around them, because he’s oil to their water.
Don’t kid yourself. This guy has disaster written all over him for the political right.
There never was any other kind of wind at the gubernatorial level in Massachusetts.
What Mitt means by claiming to be “severely conservative” (compare his present platform to some known politicians and you can see it’s not literally so) is that “OK, I feel the wind and this time it’s blowing rightward. Hard. Look I’m bending over backwards (or my best imitation of it) for you guys.”
Don’t kid yourself. This guy has disaster written all over him for the political right.
That is EXACTLY WHY the Ruling Class GOP-e and the Obama Regime and his MarxoFasciosts chose Romney to be the contender against Obama. As several MittWitts already stated here on FR, Principled Conservatives are a minority that will be tossed into irrelevance and into the dust bin of history. Like Obama, they will slip up and reveal their true intents now and again.
It's as if Conservatives today are going to become a modern political version of Germany's Jews from the 1930's. Creating a climate of fear and accusation if one does not go along with the pogrom. It's how an entire people are herded into seig-heiling a system of absolute despotism, for the greater good - as it's ALWAYS marketed.
And the GOP-e Ruling Class is marketing this campaign no different, and still this people refuse to accept what has been done to them and is staring them in the face.
Because they absolutely refuse to allow themselves to think that it could possibly happen here, and that betrayal into the fundamental transformation Obama started, is what Romney being foisted on us after destroying every Conservative running is all about.
The Ruling Class knows where the power and money is going to lie, and they will do anything to share in it. Thus, Romney.
