Great article over at American Spectator by Jeffrey Lord. It draws points out the history of the wimp factor in Republican politics. From Dewy to Ford to Dole to McCain to the present it addresses the battle of the GOP establishment to deny conservatives a seat at the table. Know your history lest you repeat it.
"Ford Declares Reagan Can't Win" -- Headline in The New York Times, March 1, 1980
Sound familiar? It was Ford's turn. Reagan was a hindrance from the right. Now we have the GOP "favorite" Romney being threatened by Gingrich. It's Romeny's turn so, Katie bar the doors! Mr. Lord goes on to point out the reality of Romney. Obamacare? Here is his take.
In the finest tradition of Establishment wimpiness assuring that Romney really doesn't mean it when he talks about undoing Obamacare. Oh no. After all, in Coleman's words:
"We're not going to do repeal. You're not going to repeal Obamacare… It's not a total repeal… You will not repeal the act in its entirety, but you will see major changes, particularly if there is a Republican president.… You can't whole-cloth throw it out. But you can substantially change what's been done."
From Establishment spokesman Senator Coleman -- still more mush.
And you know who understands exactly the message that's being sent by Romney?
Hold on to your conservative hat. That would be no less than uber-leftist George Soros, who recently said this:
"Well, look, either you'll have an extremist conservative, be it Gingrich or Santorum, in which case I think it will make a big difference which of the two comes in," Soros told Reuters in a videotaped interview.Thanks George. One hates to say it, but George Soros is right. Note well: It is conservatives Gingrich and Santorum that Soros fears -- not Romney.
"If it's between Obama and Romney, there isn't all that much difference except for the crowd that they bring with them."
Go.......read the whole thing.
