It just occurred to me why the Republicans are having so many debates: it favors Mitt Romney. He is the CEO, and he is the smooth one. He is also in my view the least principled of the available candidates. He is who he needs to be.
How on earth true conservatives could favor someone who enacted Obamacare as the nominee to END Obamacare is anyone’s guess.
I guess Romney is just their kind of asshole. They understand one another, since Karl Rove is no more principled, in my view, than Barack Obama.
Being led by smooth talking liars is a great way to wind up on the ash heap of history.
I will vote for Cain, Bachman, Perry, or Gingrich. I am not sure I can even hold my nose and vote for Romney. I guess I will just vote a Republican straight ticket.
Again, the issue is not defeating Barack Obama. The issue is, is this nation still capable of the rational appreciation of action and consequence? If our choice is between Obama and Romney, in this climate, then in my view the answer is no. We deserve failure.
And that may be the case. At least half of Americans do not value their freedom enough to understand history and basic economics. That is a large number.
Time will tell.
