How not to talk about Mitt Romney or Just Vote for a Conservative!

Mitt Romney, isn't he special. Who else can you expect to give you two candidates for the price of one liberal. He has taken on every position and then taken the opposition position. So, wait around long enough and you'll find him taking another position.

So let's not rip on Mitt just because he's indecisive or because he's trying to be a liberal while trying to be a moderate, while trying to be a conservative. After all, it's so hard to be something to everyone. We know that the establishment sees him as the best chance to beating the President. And because of that we should all just give in and say he's our guy.

But in reality, what's the comparison. Now, I don't mean between Mitt and say Gingrich, or Bachman, Santorum or any other candidate. What's the comparison between Mitt and the President. For that matter what's the comparison between the President and ANY of the Republican Candidates.

That's the Question we should really be answering. That's right - not asking but ANSWERING! We don't need to find someone who is close aligned in an ideological fashion with the President, it's our job in the primary to find someone who will offer us an opposing view, an alternative to the current method of doing business. That's called CHOICE - as I am sure many of my liberal friends would define it.

It's okay to pick a CONSERVATIVE candidate who believes in the exact opposite of the President - because that opposing viewpoint can be challenged - not just by the President but all those who wish to question it. So here are some of the rules - perhaps - that you can use to find your pick from the Republican Field. And please notice which is last.

  1. Who is the furthest opposite from the President's Ideological base and philosophy?
  2. Who can DEFEND their position the best, without the hesitations, the hiccups of being on the spot - the smoothest communicators of fact from fiction and the best orator of your choice?
  3. Who can identify the weaknesses of the President's position (not just ideologically, but who can bring home the FAILURES of the Administration)?
  4. Who will be able to bring in MORE Conservatives into the Congress and build the Conservative movement - now - not later?
  5. Who is the most electable?

We want a candidate who is not only going to save our country. That man or woman will NOT be the same as our President ideologically. That person has to be the opposite. Answer these questions truthfully and not with the idea of who you like, but who you would choose.

Why Scrooge was a Liberal

I believe Ann Coulter had it right, Scrooge was a liberal (click here to read Ann's article from last year's Human Events Webpage). Here's why:

In the beginning, Scrooge sites several government institutions to provide for the poor, as Liberals do today. He finds this as the appropriate method of providing care for those in need, despite the identifier that they are failed institutions. Why else would he talk so highly of these failed institutions, just as Big Government Liberals do for programs like Welfare and other government entitlements.

Now, to be honest, Scrooge isn't a liberal throughout the story. But it should be noted that what brought Scrooge around wasn't some fact finding commission, nor was it some government program that incentivized him to give charitably. No, it was GOD! It had to be God, unless there's some other entity out there that is direct ghosts. I do not think it was anyone from the Hindu belief, they would not have been sent to walk the Earth, instead they would have been reincarnated to a lesser form. Nor Shintoism because ancestors are venerated, not forced to walk the Earth in chains. No, I'm convinced it had to be God.

So how can we identify that Scrooge became a conservative? Well of course, he became one when he started to give. Notice here, that he did NOT give to the government programs to make them better. No instead, he went on a mission of personal charity giving. He didn't toss the coin out of his bedroom window to give to some government institution to get some food for the family. No, instead he bought food to give to his employee. The big turkey that came to Cratchit's house was not from a government meat program, but from the local butcher - who by the way - didn't poison any of the children who ate it.

So, next time you Conservatives get called Scrooge by some Big Government Liberal feel free to throw this argument at them and watch them 'Wallow in their pudding' - As Scrooge would say.
