Morning Briefing: June 18, 2012

Romney Will Be Romney

After Obama’s (not so) startling revelation on Friday that he’s going to pretend like our country’s immigration laws don’t exist and create a “jobs program” to give “immunity from arrest” to young illegals vying for American jobs, Romney went on a Sunday talk show to  . . . . take both sides of the issue . . . in the same interview.

Just doin’ his thing.

In an interview with “Face the Nation,” Romney decried Obama’s move for being a “political” ploy but NOT for being illegal. In fact, while calling Obama’s move a “stopgap,” he implied that he is more interested in “long term legislation” AND would not answer whether he would overturn Obama’s policy if he is elected.

And don’t forget, one of the A-listers on his Veep short list is Marco Rubio, who is proposing “Dream Act” legislation of his own.

More good talk . . . but will it be action?

Despite the lackluster candidate at the top of the ticket, conservative Republicans are finding reasons to speak loud and proud, and it’s pretty much due to Governor Scott Walker of Wisconsin.

Politico reports that groups like Americans for Prosperity and conservative activists like Sarah Palin are calling out other governors now to do the same thing as Walker. They are renouncing the Republican “screw-ups” of the past, including Bush’s failed economic policies (TARP) and Boehner’s lack of intestinal fortitude on the debt ceiling debate.

While the ratcheted up rhetoric is refreshing, will it lead to action?

The Tail Wagging the Dog?

Remember a few weeks ago when the Atlantic reported on a study that says that those who live the homosexual lifestyle represent less than two percent of our population although many Americans believe it’s closer to 25 percent? In the very last line of her article, that reporter made a very prescient statement:

“One thing’s for sure: it’s hard to imagine the fact that so many think the country is more than a quarter gay or lesbian has no impact on our public policy.”

One has to wonder if that is why a “family friendly” company such as General Mills (think Cheerios, for goodness sake!) has come out publicly against Minnesota’s proposed constitutional amendment to keep marriage in that state as God designed it.

Time to find a new favorite cereal?

    I guess I understand why Steve is doing this, but I kind of am disappointed that Steve doesn’t perhaps realize, or at least try to explain why Obama MUST be re-elected for there to even be a chance for our country to be saved.

    What’s worse than Obama? Well while I can’t imagine what would be worse, I guess Obama’s old Harvard professor can because he is urging people not to vote for Obama because he is NOT LIBERAL ENOUGH.

    The quickest way we get someone EVEN WORSE than Obama is to elect Romney.  History has shown that a more liberal Democrat has always followed a Liberal Republican. 

    We can’t lose the momentum that the Tea Party has brought us.  But that is exactly what would happen if Romney is elected. Romney will give us “more time”? For what?  Under that thinking Bush gave us “more time” when he defeated Gore and what did we do with that?

    With a Romney elected we will not even have A CHANCE to elect a conservative for eight years!  Do we really have another eight years left?

    Four more years of Obama will mean four more years of conservative getting woken up, energized, and active.  Four years of Romney will mean four years of Romney working with-in the Republican party to make conservatives irrelevant.  Four years of Romney will mean the end of the Tea Party.

    And given that I don’t think Romney is going to be re-elected, we will have to suffer through four years of “Worse than Obama” before getting a shot at getting a conservative elected President. So we have four years of Romney working from within the party to destroy conservatives and four years of “worse than Obama” destroying our country. Eight years, and a that point what would our society be like? Do we really have eight years as a movement left if something doesn’t change?
