Ann Coulter says Romney's the best choice
Ann Coulter:
In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently. ...
... All current Republican presidential candidates say they will overturn Obamacare. The question for Republican primary voters should be: Who is most likely to win?
... That leaves us with Romney and Bachmann as the candidates with the strongest, most conservative positions on illegal immigration. As wonderful as Michele Bachmann is, 2012 isn't the year to be trying to make a congresswoman the first woman president.
Update: Dick Morris agrees: "
Only Mitt beats Obama"
In a Rasmussen Poll among all likely voters in the U.S., taken on December 27-28, 2011, Romney leads Obama by 45-39. [All other candidates trail Obama.]
My gut feeling is that with Romney as president exactly nothing will change. He is trying too hard to be electable and that's a bad sign.
ReplyDeleteThere really is only one candidate who is fully dedicated to the American Constitution and that is Paul. Maybe I am as nutty as everyone thinks he is but given the alternatives one has to wonder exactly who the nuts are.
According to recent polls (see update) Paul is unelectable against Obama.
ReplyDeleteIt reminds me of the Poles are for Dogs line. If Paul had the exposure that "Might" be available, I think that he'd kick Obama's butt. But after all is said and done, probably the guy, said he holding his nose, is Mittens.
ReplyDeleteI find Paul's isolationism and defence cutting proposals way too fanatical for my taste, so I wouldn't be unhappy to see him lose. Granted Romney is a milquetoast conservative but winnability is important (anythings' better than Obama). But it's early days, so who knows?
ReplyDeletePaul's defense proposals are consistent with the American Constitution which is essentially defensive and not interventionist. I really don't understand why that makes him the Kim Jong-Un of North America. Is Switzerland isolationist? They still have one of the highest standards of living in the world without continually fighting everyone else's wars.
ReplyDeleteMy choice is Rick Perry cause he’s a true conservative unlike our Canadian liberal prime minister of Quebec Stephan Harper. Harper is about as conservative as obama. Canadians have no idea what real conservatives are. I laugh when I hear people say Harper is a conservative…..then again I suppose he’s conservative enough for Quebec and Ontario his favourite places.
ReplyDeleteJohndoe, The USA's economy is roughly 1/4 of the world GDP and global in scope. Without their continued involvement in international security the world would become a much more dangerous place. I think their isolation would be short lived.
ReplyDeleteRelatively speaking Switzerland is very isolationist. But since its economy is small it doesn't make much difference. I think Luxembourg's standard of living is higher than Switzerland's but since its economy is even smaller it makes even less difference.
Anon, I believe Harper is a true conservative who is practising the art of the possible in a (for now) very left-leaning Canuckistan.
The establishment hates Ron Paul, because he wants to limit spending on wars. Many in the public love him and many more will love him. (real conservative)
ReplyDeletereal cons,
ReplyDeleteRon Paul's politics are what set him apart from most Republicans. He's a RINO. If he were honest he'd run as a third party candidate. His foreign policy stance would enamour him with many on the radical left.
