I'm with you frank, however, I'll point out that IMHO the Republican "establishment" has given us another stinking pot of crap with these candidates, like they did with McLame.
I'll vote for my cat before I'd ever vote for obumble, but I'm going to be working with the local tea party a lot more in the future, I've turned my back on the Republican "party".
Well, you know, BadCat, in 1980 I wanted George Bush, in 1988 I wanted Robert Dole, in 2000 I wanted Richard Cheney, in 2008 I wanted Duncan Hunter. Obviously, I didn't get them.
(This is
no disparagement of the eventual Republican candidates those years--no way--it's just that such preference were made
before Reagan beginning in 1981, Bush beginning in 1989, and the second Bush beginning in 2001, proved themselves remarkably good presidents, the best presidents in my entire life. Foresight, unlike hindsight, is not always accurate.)
Romney has what he needs, from the center and the left; inevitably he's going to turn right, and one's encouraged that he's ramping up his attacks on the Magic One (although he still has a long way to go).
But if one isn't confident about that, about Romney, well then, put one's efforts into getting senators and congressmen more conservative into office, so as to keep Romney going the right direction. Don't care for Romney?--well, then, work to get others into other offices who will keep forcing his hand in the conservative direction.
That's always been my attitude. It's more than just the presidency.
