The Republicans are on the verge of nominating their most Progressive candidate since Teddy Roosevelt. This massive leftward shift in the GOP is making many Reagan/Goldwater Conservatives no longer feel welcomed. Should Romney lose, there will be a full scale civil war in the GOP as Economic/Fiscal Conservatives take on the GOP establishment and various Progressive factions. Should Romney win, the GOP will lose credibility since he will govern as a Leftist. A new Party will emerge and the Democrats will dominate for a decade. Romney is a poison pill.
Mitt Romney, by his actions in Massachusetts both campaigning for the U.S. Senate and as Governor, has shown himself to be more than willing to compromise with the Left and the Democrats. He has proposed and passed the socialist RomneyCare policy, pro-abortion regulations, and gun control, and raised numerous taxes and fees while increasing spending dramatically. During the current campaign he refuses to call Barack Obama what he is; instead Romney refers to him as just “being over his head.”
If ever a candidate mirrored the mindset and approach of George H.W. Bush, it is Mitt Romney.
This is the last hurrah of the Republican establishment. The conservatives and libertarians will vote for Romney in November, but only because he is not Barack Obama. There will be no enthusiasm, which will hurt the down ballot contests for the U.S. Senate, the House and state governorships. Despite the factors weighing against Obama in this upcoming election, it will be a much closer contest that it should be; perhaps a razor thin victory for Romney.
If Romney were to lose the election, there will be a grass-roots revolt against the Republican Party which will spell its demise. If he wins and the nation, through the mis-directed policies of Romney and the Republicans in the Congress, continues on its current path of compromising and nibbling around the edges of the nation’s problems, then Romney will be the last Republican president and the specter of the Democrats re-assuming power will be a reality.
Yes I will vote for Romney to remove Obama. But be prepared for another Socialist regime under a Republican cover. A Romney Presidency will not end well.
