Republican Primary Armistice Act of 2012: The Pinky Swear Contract [Reader Post]

Loading


Thought I would get ahead of the curve and bow down to the inevitable anointing of Prince Romney. But before I do, and Team Romney’s Matt Rhoades starts pumping Matt Drudge with congratulatory headlines pre-approved and vetted by him and Eric Fehrnstrom, I wanted to use what little pull I and the rest of my fellow conservative cohorts and renegades have to solicit some promises, in writing, before we all have to kiss King Willard’s ring. (I am throwing up a little in my mouth as I forcefully tap these words into my trusty Hewlett-Packard with much groaning.)

Knowing that Mitt Romney has the well-oiled knack of saying just about anything to get what he wants at the time, as was recently confirmed by Mr. Fehrnstrom‘s Etch-A-Sketch comments, Conservatives would be fools to not lock Romney down on at least a few concessions before we throw our hands up in despair and give in to the forces of political expediency the Republican Establishment and lackeys are so well versed in.

Our, well mine in reality, demands are as follows.

Mitt Romney will not, I repeat, WILL NOT, just repeal ObamaCare, he WILL NOT replace it with RomneyCare 2.0/Deluxe Version. Knowing Team Romney’s penchant for using poll tested phrases that let Romney say the truth with so many shades of gray that it can be morphed into meaning the exact opposite of its intention a second later we need to lock the man down now, before it doesn’t matter in the general election. No health care mandates.

Mitt Romney will not, I repeat, WILL NOT run so far to the left that President Obama and the rest of us suffer whip-lash trying to follow his progress. No more “I was for Life, before I was for choice, before I was for Life again, before I was for choice a while later, before I was for Life for this primary” continuous loop of positions in and endless circles of political Ying-Yang. This means chucking the Global Warming/Climate Change/Green Living light bulb banning well-worn CD out the campaign bus window. ( No, Ann Coulter following in a Chevy Volt cannot pull over and retrieve it for later) *

Mitt Romney will, I repeat, WILL, go after President Obama with the same ruthless back stabbing smear campaign he managed to work up in order to defeat fellow Republicans in the primary. If anything can be learned from this Republican Primary is that the Establishment is well versed in down and dirty nasty politicking and when it wants to get it hands dirty it can belly-flop into the mud as well as any drunk fat frat boy on Spring Break . They have shown us they can do it well against the scout team. We now demand you bring it to the field for the Big Game for a change.

Team Romney, the current Republican Establishment, and all the pundits who derided and attacked anyone not onboard with Team Romney will agree to go into political exile if Romney fails to win the Office of President of the United States. That’s right! All three of these parties involved have created this mess. This incestuous cabal of Republican political insiders is now going to agree to suffer or succeed by the very tactics they have been practicing for years without any consequence. No more,” Oh well, we just didn’t get the message out. Live and learn” and back to the work on the next losing campaign. No more. Playing hardball means failure is no longer forgiven. No mercy. It will be clear to almost everyone at this point that you cannot get the job done and should not be allowed to try again. If you win, you can write long winded scathing columns and speeches telling us how wrong we were to doubt you. If you lose you agree to walk away quietly, banished to running campaigns for dog catchers or PTA board members and writing columns of church suppers and hemorrhoid ointment reviews. We will not have to come and smoke you out of Republican National Head Quarters and you will leave all the “T” and “P” keys on the equipment. You will just go.

Upon agreeing to the conditions mentioned above the Conservative base agrees to pull Santorum and Gingrich to the side and ask them to put down the Etch-A Sketch’s, go on vacation, and send off a flowery little post card endorsing Mitt Romney. Then it will be up to Mitt Romney try to win the rest of the base over to his side, again.

I know some are holding out for a brokered convention but we must be realistic and confront the truth. The Republican Convention is controlled by the very people who are backing Romney now. Why should we expect that it their loyalties would change? Why would we expect them aide anyone but Romney in a brokered convention. They make the rules and have no problem picking and choosing the ones they will enforce, not enforce, or create all together out of thin air. Does anyone actually believe that this situation has not been foreseen and planned for by Team Romney? Silly you if you did.

I say let the chips fall where they may and give Mitt Romney what he so badly wants, his coronation.

Good luck to the rest of us. We are going to need it.

Lots of it.

*I have figured Ann Coulter has sold out so many conservative principles to become a Team Romney pom-pom waver that her driving a Chevy Volt seems completely plausible.

Only kiss the ring with sincerity.

Otherwise… simply go along to get along, and smooch the knuckle. A true leader will recognize this indiscretion and have you killed by his hand, on the spot. A fool will consider your person a loyal serf.

This a mechanism to gain proximity.

Hey look, I didn’t get us into this mess and I am sure as Hell not going to lift a voting pen to get us out. Quite frankly, most of our voters are too stupid to know that getting all that free stuff is going to cost us the rest of our lives. The ONLY answer to our current situation is small arms and explosives, right now. Our house is on fire, are we going to put it out or wait until Election Day.

You left something out:

Team Romney and the current Republican Establishment will not, I repeat, WILL NOT treat Conservative Republicans like redheaded stepchildren, who can be sent to the basement and ignored once the elections are over. Nor will they forget the Tea Party, (like they did in 2010,) who gave them control of the House, and who as voters will very likely use their ballots to oust the Obama regime.

For many of us, this is the last chance we are willing to give Establishment Progressive Republicans to represent us (“The People”) over your Washingtonian elite country club and Wall Street power brokers. You will also either reach out, shake hands and compromise with your own fellow GOP party members, or you can expect us to drop you for good. We are very serious that we will no longer accept Washington D.C. returning to business as usual!

Who is the author of of this blog? He certainly can not be a conservative. We are not electing God for
president. We are voting for a man that we think is best to turn the country around. Romney earned ever cent himself. He became rich by working. It was “HIS” money that invested in troubled companies. He gave to charity every dime his father gave him. He also has not taken any money from the sale of his books, it also went
to charity. His health insurance in Mass. was for the ( 8% ONLY) that did not have insurance. After it was
passed only then did people of Mass stop paying for insurance, joined to state policy and overwhelem the system.
So take your criticism of Romney to the Obama campaign whom you seem to be working for. I’ll vote proudly
to Romney who is a true leader, excellent father, husband, honest businessman, and follower of God.
Enjoy your payment from the OBAMA campaign for the article.

@Ditto:

For me that ‘last chance’ was in 2008. I hated McCain, still do – especially his NDAA. I remember that stupid line from him, when he said he looked into Putin’s eyes and saw evil, and saying to myself, “Well, jeez, John, that’s what I see when I look in yours.” I had no idea why I thought that but the guy made me sick. But Obama made me feel sicker. Now I get it: it really was the lesser of two huge evils.
Never again.
From now on I vote as John Quincy Adams advised, “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection.”
I truly do not believe Romney will be any different than Obama. They are both backed by the same money. The agenda will not change, just the letter at the end of the name.

@justme95:
Yep, I’m there. By derailing the GOP’s path to reform by the TEA movement, Romney may, in fact, be worse for the country long term than Obamster. Political parties sell a product to the voters, and I’m not buying this one, regardless of how “severe” he claims to be.

@rosemary costello: I don’t think anyone here is bashing Romney for his success in business. In fact, more power to him, that is the beauty of free enterprise. What most Conservatives, myself included, have against Romney is two fold:

1. He seems unable to win elections based on his past record as governor of Massachusetts and instead assails his opponents with near endless attack and smear ads.

2. He also seems to say anything to get elected, except for saying Romneycare was a mistake. He still defends it and that has Conservatives rightly worried.

The job of a businessman is to grow the business and increase it’s revenue. I humbly submit that not only is the United States Government NOT a business, but it’s been run like one for way too long!

Why no mention at F.A. of Rubio’s enthusiastic endorsement of Romney? A very smart young Conservative. He can take the V.P slot that will surely be offered and assure Romney win, or he can decline,probably giving BHO the win, and be the odds on favorite to win the Presidency in 2016.
