Mitt Romney; I Will Not Sacrifice My Soul For You…

(ThyBlackMan.com) If you were to confer with many seasoned GOP political operatives and analysts, you would probably be persuaded to have the concept that Mitt Romney will be the 2012 GOP Presidential candidate for President of the United States. This is complete lunacy. I opposed Mitt in 2008 and I stand by my resentment. It is absolutely senseless to be uninspired and ideologically opposed to a candidate, and yet, argue the basis of their “electability.”

Let me just dispose of this comedic myth that Mitt Romney is electable. Romneycare is the birthfather to Obamacare. Mitt Romney can do his very best to make it look tangible, but he cannot escape this catastrophe. His advisors met on multiple times with the Obama Administration to help craft its health care monstrosity.

This is ample proof that Mitt Romney resembles Barack Obama. Romney and Obama are both gift packages delivered from Wall Street, which indicates to me that they are proponents of big government presence. Mitt Romney’s flip flop positions on immigration, abortion, TARP, etc does not rest well with me.

Mitt Romney is running for President just to occupy the Oval Office, not to implement conservative principles. With that said, I cannot and will not support Mitt Romney just because of the “electability” manifesto that the establishment tries to give me.

I will not betray my conservative principles to win an election….or lose one for that matter. Romney is easily a candidate that Obama and the Democrat party can neutralize. When the GOP candidate has more similarities than differences to Obama, that gives me reason to worry, not be optimistic.

I’ve faced resentment from several GOP establishment individuals because I do not support Mitt Romney. I will not apologize for not supporting someone who is a miniature Obama. The argument that Romney is the best to beat Obama is also dumb and naive.

Mainstream media and seasoned GOP analysts are ignorant and blind to the “main street” movement of everyday people, like me, who are tired of the status quo, and are willing to elect someone like Cain, who has business and private sector experience and can relate to the middle class. When is the last time someone came up to you and spoke enthusiastically of Romney and how he relates to their economic condition?? Don’t worry, I’ll wait.

Republicans are in danger of not learning from 2008. Barack Obama was elected because of his eloquence and ability to allocate charisma and inspiration in the form of oratory skills unseen by any modern day politician. Yet, Obama lacked substance, and now the country is paying the price for his election. Romney is no different. Yes, he is a formidable debater (He’s been running for President since 2008, so he should be able to), and he is a polished speaker.

However, his liberal policy decisions have made him an empty suit that will make him vulnerable and weak against Obama and a heavy Democrat campaign machine. Conservatives must be careful and make a wise decision.

They must hear the heart and soul of main street America. it is not beating for Mitt Romney. It is yearning for someone who can not just beat Obama, but someone who can turn this country around and make it a competitive force in the world again. If conservatives betray their convictions based on electability and not principles, they lose their credibility. Independents know this. Democrats know this.

If Romney is the nominee, there will be lack of enthusiasm and support, which will make gleeful hearts in the liberal Democrats camp. The GOP can abide in the oasis of mediocrity and status quo if they wish by electing Romney, and they will miss out on an opportunity of a lifetime. If they blow their chance this time, it’ll be very difficult to recover.

I refuse to sacrifice my soul, values, principles and beliefs and vote for Mitt Romney. We already made that mistake….remember 2008? Remember John McCain? As a conservative Republican, I refuse to see this happen. What many may call acceptable and electable, I label it as deceptive. Main Street’s voice will be an audible force to be reckoned with. I can tell you right now, they are not screaming for Mitt Romney.

    Have you noticed lately that most elitists (like the person who wrote this article) do nothing but bash, bash, bash and bash some more. Instead of focusing on the real issues and suggesting approaches to solve them, they go the opposite direction and bash, bash, bash and bash some more.

    On the record, Jesus didn’t bash, bash, bash and bash some more. He stated His position and from there built His foundation, upon which, people flocked to him. If all he did was go around all day and bash the Emporer of Rome, the Jewish leadership and local authorities, He would not have had any following.

    The writer of this article might take note…………

    I know it says opinion piece, but I would like to believe if there is any literary merit to this guy who wrote this there wouldn’t be so much idealogue driven narrative like 99% of conservative pundits. Who are you playing too? Rush Limbaugh? Glen Beck, Why? I want to see one educated conservative that isnt plugged into this nonsense. I really dont think a Republican candidate has a chance to ever win a majority again because of these clowns that have held hostage any thought provoking discussion on the real issues. Health care? Fiscal responsibility?

  3. Chris says:

    Gingrich is soon to run away with the republican nomination and the then the general election. It is inevitable, as the guy is unique in his experience, vision, and ambition to correct the ills of this nation. When you think about past presidents and their desire to leave a lasting legacy and couple that with Newt’s historical understanding of such things, you will realize that he is going to be amazing for this country. He will likely go down at a top three president of all time. I am pretty excited.

    But if you want, go to http://www.nationalsponsor.com to vote for your favorite candidate, not that it will change the fact that Newt is the next president.

    What would you do if it were between Mitt and Obama? Who would you choose?

  5. Eric says:

    Terrible blog post that repeats false information already debunked in the debates. I am a conservative that disagrees with almost everything you say here so don’t think you’ve cornered the opinion and speak for all conservatives because you don’t.

  6. Mark Petrie says:

    Even if Mitt Romney was “Obama Lite” (which he is NOT, might I add)… you’d rather have the full on deluxe version of Obama than a Lite version?

  7. Name Withheld says:

    Yawn. Your pro-Cain hit piece on Romney is completely transparent, not very insightful, and ultimately unconvincing.

    “Not conservative enough?” You sound like an echo of a bad pundit interpreting poll results. Why not make an intelligent analysis of the two men’s contrasting strengths and weaknesses?

    I would take a couple shots at Cain before I finish typing…but I don’t have to. Cain has a lot to offer. His skin color most of all. He could help the Republican ticket – as vice president – assuming his sexual harassment scandals go away.

    As for a President Cain? It just doesn’t have any chance of happening. The man thought China had nuclear weapons. Did you watch you hero in Saturday night’s debate with Gingrich? Cain looked like a middle school student.

    Cain’s all done. Before you start throwing rocks at Romney because he’s not black, you should slow down and use your brain more. I’m a big fan of Cain’s because of his intelligence, business experience, and communications skills. Conservative ideologues are dime-a-dozen. Cain has real potential – but not if overextends himself. He could be presidential candidate in 2016 or 2020. But not 2012.

  8. Wendilynn says:

    I find it interesting that while people jump all over his ideas and calling him unfit, his experience shows that he’s a disciplined worker. He is very fiscally responsible. His experience shows over and over again a man who works with everyone to get the job done he’s been brought in to do. He was asked to save the Olympics and not only did he put on a great game, but provided a huge profit for the organization. He was asked to help Mass. and did the job he was brought in to do. Working with both parties to get things done. This experience is also what resulted in all his supposed flip flops. He learned, heaven forbid, from his experiences. Yeah… totally unacceptable.

  9. Jerome says:

    Interesting – Mitt Romney vetoed almost 900 bills from the 87% liberal MA legislature in only 4 years as governor – I’d say that is stronger evidence of his leading as a conservative than any you can muster for any other candidate. But that must have slipped by your in depth research – If regurgitating every left wing criticism of Romney was your goal, you’ve succeeded. You might consider having a unique thought rather than rehashing those the liberal media has programmed you to adopt. And if you’re going to pick someone to think for you, you might try picking someone a little smarter next time.

  10. OscarHerbert says:

    Romney has impeccable integrity. Of course, he has learned and grown over time. Conditions change! As a governor of a liberal state with a liberal legislature, he worked to serve the people who had elected him. He served them well. Romney believes in states rights and a smaller, smarter federal government. He is sincere in those conservative proposals he has presented in this campaign. I trust him. The bias against Romney stems from the political rhetoric spouted in the ’08 campaign. If you read HIS words today you will find solid reasons to become a Romney supporter.

  11. David says:

    This is a joke! The last thing America needs is another conservative! Conserve what? The status quo? Moreover, the test is not whether you’ve been a businessman, it’s whether you have the vision to take this country into the future, tearing down existing barriers, and bringing those who have been isolated, marginalized and forbidden into the fold. We’ve had enough of the same ol same ol!

  12. Don says:

    If you can’t elect a conservative like Mitt when you say you are a conservative, then you sir are an odd duck.

  13. Richard Martin says:

    Romney is a very odd duck. There’s no telling how he’ll drop the ball, but he will. He did it as governor.
