Beautifully crafted, Bella mia.
From what I’ve seen on TV, people who know Romney one on one think he is actually a wonderful guy to have a soft drink with, easy going, congenial, smart, well spoken, someone it’s not hard to get along with, even admire.
Until last night, it seems as if he dressed in suit, tie and a straight jacket not even Houdini could escape from.
Newt is a fighter by nature. Mitt is not. I somehow have a hard time believing that folks of that vintage are likely to change basic Myers Briggs personality traits just because we voters want the combination of letters to line up in a certain order.
We get what they have when the throw their hats in the ring.
In fact, it’s the trying to pretend to be something they are not, that is often the most off putting.
Romney is a classic example of people SAYING they are 100% behind the American Dream, except when ANY person or company gets there…the petty envies and class warfare inanities arise. One leftist twit said that no corporation (or person) ever made it on their own…they always make it on the backs of “the have nots”.
It’s classic leftist pap and sadly, one can be certain that leftist banner will be carried by people who pretend to be conservative.
Romney is not a liberal, he will not govern as a liberal, he certainly is not a leftist. By any stretch of the imagination. Those who paint him with that broad brush are not to be taken seriously.
However, he is a compromising guy. Ordinarily, that might be an admirable trait. Certainly in social settings and often in business.
At this moment in time, someone who is too quick to compromise, too easily “backed down” will be seen as weak, vacillating, someone who is always ready to retreat.
There are voters whose political instincts are so rigid and inflexible, (approximately 15% on each side of the aisle) that they want warfare now, warfare always, warfare each and every day. Forget whether that is a permanent losing position in a center-right country, it’s simply unachievable.
There’s a happy medium. Playing to the state of CONSTANT warfare is simply bad strategy.
What Obama did, was spout the right answer…and govern by the extreme lie.
We are not a red state or blue state, put childish things behind us, unite, heal…and then he governed by the most class warmongering, race warmongering, most radical, most divisive most anti-America, anti-Judeo/Christian, anti-law enforcement, anti-military position in the history of this nation.
THAT FACT, means that someone who is too eager to compromise, too willing to say that “he’s a nice guy, just misguided”, is probably the absolute wrong choice. The Marxist takeover has nearly completed the job of destroying the continent of Europe.
Marxist gunk hurled into the wheels of the American free market have ground our engines to a near halt. The strangulation by unsustainable entitlement is the Cloward Piven blue ribbon prize for overwhelming capitalism in order to destroy it.
It is NOT that Mitt needs to fight Newt. That’s a spitball fight of personal egos, a spectacle humiliating to endure, ridiculous in substance and counterproductive to the tragic plight of this land of ours.
What Mitt needs to do, if he is to eventually become the choice to lead us…is seek not first to be understood, but to understand. The Marxists have declared war on capitalism, have and are attempting to collapse the free market and to cut the legs out from under America. They do not like America the hyper-power. In fact, they instinctively hate her and want to traipse around the world apologizing for her.
A man who should embody what happens when she allows you to succeed on your own merits, who apologizes for that success, who compromises on the fight to keep her strong, who does not understand the war by Marxists against her…can’t possibly turn back the overthrow. He’s barely cognizant that it exists.
He’s not a liberal and he’s most certainly not a leftist. He’s a center-right guy who thinks we’re up against the center-left. That dead wrong analysis will destroy us. Unless and until is made aware of this, he’s the wrong guy, at the wrong time, who is being championed for the wrong reasons and criticized for the wrong reasons.
Unfortunately, everybody else running…is worse.
