Here is the problem. If we just get the Senate and House against a Rat WH, all of the crippling damage that already has been implemented will go on for 4 more years. Let’s not forget that we have every Gov’t agency like the EPA working overtime implementing rules and regulations. So we have a united front against Obummer in a 2nd term and we have huge majorities. This POS in the WH will just back door everything. Plus by then, Obamacare will be so far reaching in the country it might be impossible to repeal it. Our only option would be to monkey around with it. That would be devastating.
This is the hard place, or is it the rock?
Was Scylla or Charybdis the ugly one?
You raise a very good point. Not to mention SCOTUS issues that may arise.
Perhaps they could never adjourn, not allowing a back door appointment to anything? Not likely.
We could begin defunding agencies wholesale.
Obama, Pelosi and Reid can't be compared to the Repubics on their worst day. They had massive majorities and took advantage of it. As you can see, it is going to set the Rats back generations with all the election losses and distrust they have sewn in the country. I just look at the model of Bush and his Amnesty or that weak RINO woman he wanted on the Supreme Court. We as citizens activated and shut it down. We have a better chance of being effective with a RINO in office than Obummer as we saw with Obummercare protests on deaf ears.
I am not advocating Mittens. He will not win. He is stuck at 25% in the polls. There is no way he will sway 75% of base voters no matter how much cash he raises. I am just looking as situations if everything goes against us.
Money is the main factor. You need money to run adds, money for polling, money for focus studies. You need money to reach the people, and to know HOW to reach them.
Cain as of yet, doesn’t have the war chest to run long term. One of the reasons Romney wants to accelerate the primaries is that it forces everyone to move on to the bigger states. Cain can run in Iowa and New Hampshire, they are small states. He doesn’t have the cash on had to sell adds to all of Florida.
yeah, but the whole ‘prebate’ idea is STUPID STUPID STUPID~!!
do you mean to say that you LIKE IT???
The only way Romney gets past the primary is if enough people will hold their nose and think he can beat Obama because the pundits think he's electable. That's a dangerous game, because Romney is an extremely flawed candidate once someone gets past his salesman style. He's a sometimes good speaker who is capable of home run speeches and strikeout speeches of pandering. Bain Capital has a lot of skeletons. Romney flip flops so often that it alienates all sides.
I can think of two more electable candidates off the bat. Perry is more consistent and has a longer record. Huntsman is the "moderate" but is more consistent. Cain has a better business background and I think has equal chance as Romney.
I'll cross that bridge when I get there. In the meantime, I know that there needs to be one candidate who is the "anti-Romney" so we don't get a McCain effect. In 08, Romney was establishment pick. McCain was the "independent" and "budget hawk"pick. Huckabee was the social conservative pick. Ron Paul has his crowd. The rest of us picked the least worst. McCain won by default.
Until I have to make my general election choice, I will be voting for not Romney. I can support Cain and I can support Perry. If one of them runs away with this, that's my vote.
Talk is cheap, and Mitt Romney's talk is worth less than that.
On taxes, Mitt raised them as governor.
On Obamacare, Mitt gave us Romneycare.
On spending cuts, he'd be modestly better than Obama.
The headline should be:
Promoting Romney (Why the lame brain media are unhappy unless they can pretend Romney is the Republican front runner)
Go Cain!
“Money is the main factor.”
I absolutely disagree with that statement! It is necessary but it is NOT the MAIN factor.
I was not defending Mittens. If you read my previous posts, I was looking at the race from us losing out on the Conservative wing. Purely academic. If we somehow get stuck with this stiff Milt, I think we can overpower his liberalism easier than Obummer.
There is one thing that we should take away from the ‘10 election. The Tea Party movement has legs and can effect change in the most hostile of environments. Palin, Levin, DeMint and Rush have lead the way in this. We can’t sit idly by no matter who the person in charge is. This is going to be a fight every single day, every single minute.
