This is libertarianism?  Supporting Gov. Romney-care?  The man who thinks government should be in charge of every employer/employee relationship.  The man who thinks the government should force every adult to purchase health insurance.  The man who thinks the government should be involved in every medical decision made by doctor or patient.  This is the man “libertarians” want, because the thought of a social conservative makes their poor delicate libertarian hearts all a flutter.

Look I am not happy about Sen. Santorum’s record on spending.  He is a compassionate conservative, which Pres. Bush showed us means watch your wallet tax payer.  But he isn’t defending the indefensible of socialized medicine as Gov. Romney continues to do to this day.  Santorum is a compassionate Conservative, but he IS a Conservative.  Romney is, as I said, nothing a man of  no principles, whose only reason for going to DC is to “make Washington work.”  I don’t want Washington to work, I want Washington to get out of the way so the American people can get back to work.

None of this matters to “libertarians.”   Their love of liberty ends when social conservatives express Freedom of Speech.  They rallied to the genuine, unquestionably statist Obama in 08 and they will again, because What PJ O’Rourke said about liberals and liberty applies to libertarians as well.  ”The only freedom they want is the freedom to say bad words and put anything they want in their mouths.  It is the freedom of two year old.”

Which would be fine if we had a GOP nominee with a quad.  Gov. Perry’s job creation in the Great State of Texas should have been that quad.  But, as always seems to happen when a Texas Republican leaves Texas, Perry managed to bungle the only message the American people wanted to hear right now:  here’s how I created jobs in my state, here’s how I am going to create jobs in the United States.

Santorum is a compassionate conservative, and you can insert my eye roll here.  But Romney is not anything, not conservative, not liberal, he is a zero.  Obama is many things but mostly he is a man of principle.  Alas, they are the Marxist principles of one determined to punish the enemies of socialism.   But still they are principles.

We need a quad, we desperately need a quad.   I just don’t see anyone in the GOP with one.

George Will on Cain: ‘He’s Sort of Strolling for President’

If we are going to lose, let’s lose by our principles.  But — and here is the thing —  the people who are proclaiming to us which candidate is “electable” are doing one of two things.  They are either playing upon our fears of losing the election and telling us that THEIR candidate is the only one who is “electable”.  Or worse, they are actually planning for defeat by thinking in terms of  ”let’s pick someone who is most like the other party”.

They are WRONG.  The American People would be more than willing to vote for someone with principles. It’s when they are offered a choice between “Democrat” and “Democrat Lite” that they decide to go for the real Democrat.  I mean, if you are going to have a Democrat, why not pick the Real Thing, right?

Herman Cain is the most unabashedly conservative candidate we have.  The Florida Straw Poll picked him even when the pundits weren’t even MENTIONING him after the debates.  He is the man we need for the upcoming election, and not just as a token VP on the ticket.  He needs to be the top of the ticket.  And the “electable” candidate, Romney?  Pfeh.  A Republican who is a success in a Blue state.  Who brought Obamacare to his state before it was brought to the rest of the country.  Pfeh again.  Romney is “electable”. We need someone who can LEAD.

If my choice is Christie or Obama I will stay home.   Because it will be six of one Sharia supporter half dozen of the other.   There are a lot of RINO’s I will vote for, but not the biggest RINO of them all.
