Because unlike Romney’s primary opponents, Obama will actually fight back. Oh, plus he’s the current president, which kinda helps.
Because once you win the election, you have to actually govern. You can’t just sit around and say “government sucks” anymore. You are the government.
HAH?
It’s a joke. Right wing, white ring? White Guard protecting the country from the Bolshies/blacks?
Course, I don’t actually believe that. I’m in the Rosa Luxemburg camp.
Rent and wage labour? The freedom to be owned and the freedom to die?
HAH?
It just occurred to me that this could be a Machiavellian plot to destroy Romney and put him out of contention. If the Republicans knew in advance that they didn’t have much hope of capturing the executive branch this time around, perhaps they’re taking the opportunity to bankrupt the guy they all agree they hate. Romney fails miserably, takes Paul Ryan down with him and spends himself out of contention for next time around. Meanwhile the Republicans have three or four more years to find someone who doesn’t have so many skeletons in his closet and who isn’t so afraid of the media. For this election they can concentrate on winning senate and congress seats, from which they can effectively prevent Obama from doing… anything. The public ends up hating Obama for being ineffective, hates Romney for being a loser and shifts right as the country slowly goes to hell in a handbasket.
It’s probably too clever but I do love the idea of the Republicans are trolling the whole country with Romney’s campaign and deliberately setting him up to fail.
