What I fear is four more years of Zero!
“Part of Romney’s problem is that the Republican Party’s policy solutions seem — at least outside the ranks of the faithful — increasingly ideological and out of touch. No matter what conditions the nation faces, the Republican prescription is to lower taxes, increase defense spending, and weaken the social safety net. These ideas may have made sense in the 1980s. But by 2012, they seem as irrelevant as the Democratic Party’s arguments must have seemed to many Americans in 1979.”
Tripe
All I know is, electing a president who can hide behind a race card to escape impeachment is the worst possible thing ever to happen to America.
The Atlantic - stopped reading right there.
I’m certain it’s all rubbish.
I think Romney won’t be able to keep many of his promises.
I think his first priority will be to get the budget deficits under control and he is going to have to expend a lot of political capital to get the entitlement and defense cuts.
However, he can do a lot to help the economy by just rolling back a lot of the Obama regulations and doing everything possible to promote energy independence, which will create thousands of high paying jobs.
I think if Romney went all-in just on concentrating on energy development, that will have a massive multiplier effect.
I don’t think he will be able to roll back Obamacare, but he could probably make a deal with the Democrat Senate to reform the more unpopular parts and keep the rest.
As far as I am concerned, I am just happy that Obama won’t be able to appoint anymore federal judges.
If he can get the tax cuts, I will be more happy, but I am not counting on it.
Utter drivel lacking even so much as an adequate left margin.
You know the libs are fully expecting to get thrashed when
they grudgingly acknowledge the possibility of a Republican
win.. but, disregard its real likelihood.
Before the first debate the idea was utterly inconceivable.
Barry has to go.
He cannot possibly be worse for America than a neo-anti-colonialist in the WH for a second term.
Romney can NOT be not worse than the “Flavor Flav” of Chicago HoodsRAts running Washington D.C...
A foreign exchange student(Obama) skating thru the hallowed halls of Harvard and Columbia probably on the down-low and so far over his head as a President.. Scoop Dog would be a better President.. Assuming a position he is not qualified for.. personally suited for.. or even intellectually capable of..
And the main stream media assuming the position of a sheep to a horny Sand Monkey.. America has gone completely crazy.. Eye rolling drooling retarded..
America has become a cartoon.. Toontown..
And I AM not amused..
Thanks for the laugh. The kid who wrote this piece is going nowhere.
Articles like these will be increasing in the next two weeks. It’s one of the ways we know Romney is winning.
“In this essay, I’ll discuss the prospects for a Romney presidency; in the next, I’ll discuss the second term of an Obama presidency.”
...and I’m guessing that his article on a second Obama Presidency probably won’t be published until after the election.
I can accept that we are in a “Reaganite regime,” which followed a ~48 year reign of FDR’s New Deal regime. Ok, but you can see the author’s strong liberal in much unsubtle bs he spews. But the worse thing is the notion that Obama could be considered a reconstructionist president (starts a new regime like FDR & Reagan). The Obamaite regime? A new regime represents a profound change to something new, but clearly O is a throwback to the old, to the New Deal, the New Deal on Steroids. Remember that things like Obamacare were a dream of the New Dealers for decades. Unless the Obama Regime is full socialism, the complete collectivist reorganization of society, O is old hat.
Yet I think a new regime is in offing soon. But it will be a radical and conservative regime, modified Ron Paul actually. The conservative coalition will ultimately break up, as the Republican brand is tarnished (it’s seen as country club, not Joe the Plumber) and there are too many irreconcilable factions among the Repubs. There needs to be a new way to reach a majority of the population... a new majority. It’s not Ron Paul himself, but his (and Tea Party) ideas (though with a stronger but not neocon foreign policy, and a more moderate and pragmatic [and sometimes even progressive though still essentially libertarian] domestic policy), that will form a new regime. Reagan didn’t go far enough, he didn’t shed the heavy chains of the federal welfare and ponzi scheme entitlement state. But, in the new regime, we will understand that not only are there practical limits to idealism, but that innovative solutions involving some govt are not to be ruled out. Now, of course, we have to count on Romney to lead us out of the New Deal / Socialist mess O has wrought. My 2 cents.
The GOP, not so much. The TEA party? I think we have more than a little to fear of a Romney presidency. I hope I’m wrong. But I don;t think I will be. However it beats the alternative by a country mile.
Wow.
About 2/3’s of the way through I figured the guy was just a pseudo intellectual Social Psychologist with a minor in Keynesian Economics and a concentration in Socialist Diversity Studies.
For each of the thousands of what pass for ideas in this weave, there is an infinite permutation of relationships contradictory to every single other version of what passes for an idea in this mesh.
And no president has ever defined his presidency by who he is (or isn’t) as a man, but is only a cog, passively defined by another endless criss crossing permutation of stages of sections of micro- and macro- cyclic historical socio-political pressures that resonate like a dull semi-echo of a badly detuned player piano sounding out a musical interpretation of Barack Obama’s domesto-foreign New Patriotic Economics in 27 Movements in C-flat-flat-diminished-thirteenth-sharp-eleven (Subdominant Minor) with Clarinet.
Then I come to read that he’s a Constitutional Law Professor with a moderate interest in technology.
Why is it that those who least understand elegantly simple nature of the Constitution are teaching it at the highest levels of education? I recently had to put of with 4 years of this species of thought from another esteemed professor of Constitutional Law.
This piece has just conveyed in 100 paragraphs an intricately complex and self-contradictory deconstruction of what a hung over 10th grader having read the Constitution’s preamble for the first time late last night would express perfectly in a half sentence while avoiding the logical errors.
I look forward to reviewing Part 2: An Obama Second First Term.
:-P
Thank you. This article just cured my insomnia. Good night.
I’d much rather have to wrestle with my brother every day than fight with the home invasion gang bangers from across the tracks!
I have zeal, and relish the thought of ‘rats voting for 0zero, getting a Romney presidency, and having to wait till next year to have to see what is in it.
Please, Brer Balkin, don’t throw me in dat dere briar patch.
