“Mitt Romney is the most uninspiring Republican nominee in my lifetime. “
It’s cool to have been born after Alf Landon and Wendell Wilkie!
“He makes John McCain, Robert Dole, and Gerald Ford look like excellent choices.”
Romney is more intelligent, articulate and capable as an executive leader than those three. If we survived Eisenhower and GHWBush, we can survive moderate Romney.
Can we survive nationalized health care when it is promoted and defended by a Republican president?
Can we survive onerous, energy-killing regulation in the name of the environment when it is promoted and defended by a Republican president?
Can we survive activist liberal judges when they are appointed by a Republican president?
Can we survive a succeeding Democrat president who will make Obama's politics look conservative by comparision, just as Obama made Clinton look benign by comparision?
You and others will challenge: "Yeah, but, can we survive another four years of Obama?"
To that I say: YES, if the Republican party's brand as an antidote to big government is defended and preserved, and if we vote such that both Romney AND Obama receive a very, very small plurality of votes.
If Obama is re-elected with 42 percent or less of the vote, the Republican party will get a boost in strength to oppose him. "The sky is falling!" Chicken Littles who predict the End of the World if Obama wins, are guessing. Yet if Romney wins, even with a small plurality, there's no guessing -- it's absolutely certain: liberalism would become stronger in both parties and the ability of Republicans to oppose it would be debilitated.
"Moderate" Romney, who would surrender the Republican party to liberalism, would be nearly impossible to survive; there's more hope with a weakened, fractured Obama.
Why in hell should we have to survive eight more years of Romney and another Democrat when we can wait four more years and elect a conservative?
Why should we let the Republican party slide back into a minority in Congress, all while Romney works with RINOs to pass legislation Obama could only dream of passing?
And, less principled and honorable than those three.
Romney as as big a liar as Bill Clinton with a more liberal record and far less charisma.
SURVIVED EISENHOWER??????
All we had was one big fat post war boom, and all the illegals went home!
