What else matters?

If Obama is re-elected - the bond markets, credit rating agencies, investors, et al will know that it will be 4 more years of political chaos, nothing on the debt, deficit, economy in a good way and we will sink into a full blown collapse.

Tens of millions of jobless will remain jobless w no hopes. Those going to collge and graduating will remain jobless.

Those of us self employed barely keeping things together will either fall by the wayside or stay in terrible shape, etc etc.

Will Myth fix it? probably not - but there is a better chance w Romney/Ryan than handing over the keys to Obama again simply because we personally dislike Mittens.

I’m a big tent republican.

Here’s an analogy to work with. Take a small box and fill it with some rocks. Then add some rice, filling it to the top. Now take all the same stuff, but in a different order. Put in the rice first, then add the rocks. What you’ll find is that if you put in the big stuff first, the small stuff will fit around it. But if you put in the small stuff first, the big stuff won’t have room. The republican tent is the box. The Big issues are the socon issues, to be put in first. The little issues are things that can be accommodated around the bigger stuff. A candidate who tries to focus on the smaller issues first and leave out the bigger issues has no way of getting all of us into the tent. He splits the party. The candidate who gets the big stuff right and as much of the little stuff that will fit, he can fit more into the tent. We’re often amazed at how much rice can keep fitting in. Folks such as Rudy or Romney flunk some of the big issues, and on some of the little issues it looks to me like anyone else’s rice would do just as well. All that remains for us to agree on is which are the bedrock principles and which are not. Why would there be so much invective aimed at rudy or romney from the right? Because there are some bedrock principles that he is leaving out. Bad move. I see rudybot and romneybot postings all the time saying that they would vote for Hunter or Palin, and I see socon postings that say they would not vote for rudy or romney. That’s a BIG indicator of a few bedrock principles that are being left outside the tent in order to let in some rice.
