Romney

Man, I don't like this guy.  I don't like the way he holds himself.  I don't like the patronizing way that he speaks.  I don't like it when he lifts that head of his, and then tilts it down to lecture me.  I don't like it when he rolls his sleeves up to show me he is just a regular, workin' joe (B.O. has perfected this look. I always smile when I picture the lucky assistant who gets that gig).
While I am bombarded daily with people who tell me that a vote not cast for Romney is a vote for B.O., I would disagree.  I think an empty spot on the ballot is a message to the G.O.P. that we will not be taken for granted.  Romney outspent his opponents by any where from 4 to 1 to 12 to 1.  He negative bombed them into oblivion.  Why do you think that there were so many front runners?  It seemed that every month there was a new front runner, someone that the public tried out to see who would be acceptable, who would hold the conservative banner the highest.  We were looking for someone who would be able to fix the God awful mess that B.O. and his Democratic led Congress and Senate created in the first two years of his one and done.
In 2010, the message was heard loud and clear, people washed off the kool aid mustachio and started fixing the problem.  B.O. described it as a "shellacking" and the msm lost their minds.  First, they didn't see the tidal wave coming.  They dismissed the tea party gatherings as a bunch of whiteys who were gathering up to wear their hoods and protest.  There were even attempts at planting some racists in the tea party gatherings.  Pictures were quickly taken of some idiot and his more idiotic message.  What wasn't shown were the Tea Party folks with their own signs that pointed out the idiots.  The people sent there to infiltrate were usually chased away by people who shamed them into leaving with their hate filled diatribes.
The Tea Party people that I speak to are not enthusiastic about Willard Mitt Romney.  When the best you can manage is "he's better than what we have now" you know that the argument isn't very strong.  If anything, the argument is pathetic with a capitol P. 
I want a brokered convention.  That is a convention where nothing is guaranteed, and people negotiate.  It's my last ditch hope that Romney- who has been running for six years and still can't pull 50% of the votes of just Republicans- will be thwarted and we will have a chance of fixing the mess, not managing the decline.  I want our Republic to shine again. I want to be the beacon, the thing that gives hope.  I want to be a world leader, in all things.  I want a President who inspires me, who lifts us up as a Nation.  Mitt ain't it.  Think about it, you'll thank me later
Okay, okay- I'll admit it. I am a sucker for hope. I see that Willard has removed his cranial rectum obstruction and chosen very well for his vice president.  Paul Ryan is a fiscal rock star! He loves his country, he loves his family, and he wants to see us shine. How can you not love that?  In a case of deja vu all over again, I see myself wishing, once again, that the ticket were reversed. McCain/Palin any one?  So ignore the hysterical bleating you are about to see unleashed from the left.  Ignore the commercials that show Grannies going over cliffs. Ignore the hysterical (but not on purpose, I bet)ravings from Ms. Wasserman-Schwartz.  You'll thank me later. Really.
