Can’t disagree with anything you’ve posted.
Romney has given zero indication he is inclined to initiate the major entitlement reforms that are needed to get us back to any semblance of fiscal responsibility. So, if Obama is re-elected, the collapse comes sooner, but milquetoast Mitt eventually leads us to the exact same place.
Conservatives have been had. The republican party uses the platform of smaller government only when someone else is in power. I'm not sure that's enough for me any more. They've co-opted our beliefs only as a scapegoat for their big government failures so conservatives can take the blame.
I'm very much struggling with the idea that Obama may be the best choice for the county to turn the ship around as a rejection of central economic management. Somebody talk me off the cliff here.
