10 Reasons to Support Mitt Romney and Other Thoughts

One of the great things about being a Paulbot is that you suddenly find yourself surrounded by a lot of other people who are also paying attention.

By Roger F. Gay

It's no secret that I spend a lot of time in online discussions. I learn a lot. Some of it might surprise you. Here's 10 reasons to support Mitt Romney.

You should support Mitt Romney because;
  1. he's not Barack Obama.
  2. he's not Ronald Reagan.
  3. he's not a jar of overly sweetened peanut butter.
  4. there's no evidence yet that he's ever eaten anyone's face, while they were still alive.
  5. as far as we know, he was never arrested while working as a lobbyist for Bain Capital.
  6. he released tax returns that were prepared to be released.
  7. he has a long form birth certificate that might be real.
  8. he's for or against whatever you'd like him to be for or against, regardless of what he does.
  9. no one can prove that he's Satan setting the stage for a 1000 year Rule of Darkness on Earth.
  10. he's rich.
Although some of the reasons given should be considered basic required qualifications, the entire list just as obviously does not add up to a particularly good resume for a presidential candidate.

Notably missing from the list;
  1. supports Constitutional rule; i.e. “the rule of law.”
  2. supports downsizing the federal governement.
  3. supports reduced government spending.
  4. opposes socialized medicine.
  5. opposes the destruction of marriage and family.
  6. supports civil rights for any (or all) Americans.
  7. would bring honor to the country.
  8. would unite the country.
  9. would save the country.
  10. offers a refreshing political alternative to Barack Obama and other “establishment” politicians.
The phrase most often included with thoughts on voting for Mitt Romney: “hold my nose.”

It ain't over yet! Don't throw your vote or your money away. Support Ron Paul's candidacy for the Republican nomination.

  2. Still supporting Ron Paul but if he doesn't get the nomination, I will be voting Gary Johnson. I want my vote heard, I want my vote counted, and I want my voted to send a message.

    Cool post BTW!

    1. Thanks. I'm starting to hear from more people who will be voting for Johnson if Paul doesn't get the Republican nomination. I support transition to a multi-party system, by the way. The de facto "two party system" is just too weird and corrupt and not really different than a one party system. Not at all what the founding fathers had in mind. We need the democratic part of the system to actually function as such.

  3. I suggest that we have no political parties, and that we just elect honest, ethical, unwavering, and constitutional leaders. . .
    Men like Ron Paul. . .
    The HELL with the lesser of two evils. We need 5 different people running for the office of POTUS!

    1. I think you've named the only other theoretical possibility; outlaw political parties altogether and completely eliminate their machinery wherever it may be found. But that violates freedom of speech and association and somebody in government ("the establishment") must then decide what constitutes a political party and the machinery of enforcement. This is the basic problem with implementation of the nonpartisan system in the Constitutional design.

      Political parties are here to stay. I don't see any practical alternative but to implement the best possible partisan system.
