Today, she takes on two issues of importance in backing Romney
In the upcoming presidential election, two issues are more important than any others: repealing Obamacare and halting illegal immigration. If we fail at either one, the country will be changed permanently.
Taxes can be raised and lowered. Regulations can be removed (though they rarely are). Attorneys general and Cabinet members can be fired. Laws can be repealed. Even Supreme Court justices eventually die.
But capitulate on illegal immigration, and the entire country will have the electorate of California. There will be no turning back.
Similarly, if Obamacare isn’t repealed in the next few years, it never will be.
Her conclusions come to
All current Republican presidential candidates say they will overturn Obamacare. The question for Republican primary voters should be: Who is most likely to win?
She says Romney is most likely to win. Unfortunately, I have to agree with her, at least as far as our current crop of candidates stands.
That leaves us with Romney and Bachmann as the candidates with the strongest, most conservative positions on illegal immigration. As wonderful as Michele Bachmann is, 2012 isn’t the year to be trying to make a congresswoman the first woman president.
As much as I support Bachmann, her chances are slim, as are all sitting House members who run. Newt has a chance, but, it is slim. Santorum? Sorry. Nope. Paul? Would get demolished in a general election. Huntsman could actually beat Obama, but, he can’t even trend during the primaries. Romney can beat Obama. He is part of the squishy middle, who would be able to get the moderate Republicans and Democrats, and capture the Independents. What is the most important thing? Beating Obama. And, just as important, being able to concentrate on keeping the House and retaking the Senate. ObamaCare must be stopped now. This cannot wait.
And, yes, Romney is a squishy middle of the road Republican. Better him than losing.
William A. Jacobson isn’t buying the electability issue. PoliPundit does believe in Mitt’s electability.
She has become quite deranged.
