The lesser of two evils is still evil.

Posted on August 10, 2012 by KG

Fox News headline: ‘Obama’s Lead Grows as Romney’s Support Slips‘
And it’s not surprising. Once again, the GOP has allowed the enemy to take the initiative. Once again, Republicans/conservatives and independents are presented with a candidate who lacks balls, who offers little more than more of the same. For example, the obvious, devastating riposte to demands that Romney release his tax records ought to have been “I will when you do, and I will when Obama makes public his history”. But no, yet again we see a candidate who appears to have a strategy based on no more than sliding into office on the back of dissatisfaction with the incumbent.
And it won’t work. 100 million on welfare, blacks who will vote for the half-black no matter what, union members determined to hang on to their benefits no matter what, and decent Americans who are tired of holding their noses and voting for what the GOP rams down their throats as a substitute for a genuinely conservative candidate will see to that.
It’s fight or lose time and Romney is no fighter.

    I’m having real problems with believing polls these days KG. Check out this:

    Well, Michael, Rasmussen seems to have been pretty accurate in the past, I must admit. At least their methodology doesn’t appear to be skewed towards a desired result.
    Perhaps the Fox poll needs to be looked at carefully, but as far as I know they don’t disclose their methods.
    I certainly share your sceptical view.

    I was to refer to the Rassmussen poll too.
    I would say that following the ‘you didn’t build that’ comments and Obama’s lies over that cancer woman ad being exosed, his ratings would be down.
    We all wish the Republicans would have chosen better but it looks like we are stuck with Romney and defeating Obama is top priority.

    “..it looks like we are stuck with Romney and defeating Obama is top priority.”
    Top priority why exactly? So Americans (and the rest of us) will lose our liberties fractionally slower?
    Romney will do nothing to lift the government and bureaucratic boot from the necks of the productive and he is as big a danger to liberty as Obama.
    And the attitude “we’d better vote for whatever we’re offered as an alternative” is a recipe for subjugation. Nothing less.
    Fuck voting. The ballot box has become a charade, a farce, a sick joke and liberty will never be regained that way.

      There is the possibility of bottom up political change though.The Tea Party IS gaining ground in many states.

      I do tend to feel the same way you do KG,but I refuse to simply surrender my vote to the most leftist a–hole in the race because that is precisely what they want.

        Yes, Darin, the Tea Party *is* gaining ground, in spite of the RINO establishment! Richard Mourdock, Ted Cruz and others, all elected against massive-money establishment RINOs. Allen West, redistricted out of his spot thanks to the RINO-controlled zoning commission. Many of these Tea Party people were elected largely on the endorsement of Gov. Palin, and the RINOs can’t even bring themselves to ask her to speak at the convention!

        They are not, as KG suggested, the lesser of two evils, but the worse. With the Dems, you know what you’re getting. Nobody should be surprised at what Obama has done in the part 4 years – its exactly what he promised to do, and exactly what everything in (the little we know of) his background suggested he would do. People vote Republican expecting something different from what they’d get with a Democrat, not just the same thing done a little more slowly.

        That’s why the Tea Party takeover of the Republican Party is a very good thing, but it’s just a damned shame it’s taking longer than we would all like.

        Palin/West 2016!

          I don’t believe Romney is actually the lesser of two evils, Gantt. Like you, I believe he and his kind are worse. But he’s often described as being the “lesser of two evils”, hence the post title.
          Perhaps I should have been clearer.

          Palin/West would have destroyed the Dems in the upcoming elections, which leads inevitably to the conclusion that the GOP leadership regards their alliance with the Dems as more important than representing the interests of America and the American people. (And it is an alliance, in all but name.)

            You’re right as usual, KG. my “that goes without saying” meter has been a little squiffy lately!

            The game is about power. The Dems grab it, the RINOs hang onto it, and when they’re re-elected the Dems grab some more. That said, some of the worst power-grabs have come at the hands of RINOs (Patriot Act, Sarbanes-Oxley, NDAA, etc.)

              Yep. Exactly.

    Fair point KG. And I guess Camoron did the UK Tories no favour favour either, thought there is increasing talk he has destroyed the Conservatives and speeded up the progress of UKIP.
    I do look forward to a Tea Party takeoover of the Republicans.
    Pity we have no Tea Party here or in the UK.

    • KG says:
      August 11, 2012 at 08:02

      Fairfacts, we have no Tea Party because the voters are either shell-shocked, apathetic or uninformed. Just the way the MSM likes it. How to change that is the real question.
      John Key and Cameron are prime examples of the disgusting and dishonest “middle way” and Canada is a shining example of what a real conservative PM can achieve in a short time.
      The “middle way” is simply code for surrender.

    Speaking of evil:
    Union organizing exempted from stalking laws in four states
    A new report by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce highlights a striking example of Big Labor’s strength at the local government level: the states of Pennsylvania, California, Illinois and Nevada have all exempted unions from the state’s own anti-stalking laws.
    The report, titled Sabotage, Stalking & Stealth Exemptions: Special State Laws for Labor Unions, claimed: “union favoritism under state laws tend to occur in criminal statues and allow individuals who engage in truly objectionable behavior to avoid prosecution solely because they are participating in some form of labor activity.”

    Having said that, at least Romney has decided to start fighting (unlike McCain ’08)

      Not bad–I just hope the commenters are right, and he’s saving the real attack ads for the last few days of the campaign.

    From what is unfolding I can see the U.S. is headed for four more years of Obama,
    followed by the old lefty Hillary. By 2020 the west as we know it will be in steep
    decline and chaos.

    For a Civil War analogy, McCain was the Irvin McDowell of 2008 and Romney is shaping up to be the George McClellan of 2012, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. When will the Republicans find their Grant, Sherman or Sheridan? Do they even really want to?

      I think they already have him in Allen West, John. And West scares the hell out of the Establishment. He and Palin together represent the true voice of the American people, and we can’t possibly have that…/sarc
