I attended Mitt's Romney's rally last Saturday night here in Jacksonville, Florida. Over 800 people braved the driving rain and tornado warnings to pack the UNF library auditorium. Many were people just like myself, conservative admirers of men like Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter, who are TREMENDOUSLY worried that the party is being overrun by liberal open borders advocates like John McCain and fast-talking half-conservatives like Mike Huckabee. Let's also accept a few truths about Ron Paul, and yes--Alan Keyes.
1. For whatever reason, neither has caught fire and neither will win the nomination.
2. Since #1 is a fact and not an opinion, we conservatives must behave like adults and not petulant children. When you pout and go home because you don't like anyone but your guy, or maybe you don't like Mormons, you are IN FACT partially responsible for enabling the election of a Democrat socialist to the highest office in the land. Like it or not that's the same mindset you can read at dailycos or democratic underground on any given day.
We conservatives are adults who care too deeply for the welfare of this great Republic to behave in such a manner.
So what did I see last Saturday night? I saw an inspiring, brilliant, proven, physically fit, solidly conservative candidate who can beat EITHER of the Democrat socialist candidates! Mitt is the LAST real conservative in the race who can unite the party and beat back the red tide of Hillary/Bill Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama.
Here are a few highlights from the speech:
--Mitt wants to SHUT DOWN THE BORDER ASAP! No to Amnesty and YES on building a wall!
--Mitt wants to keep the current tax cuts going AND eliminate the death tax, the AMT, and drastically cut red tape and government intereference in American business life. He's a tax cutter. As he asked the crowd, "does government create or destroy wealth? Does government create or destroy JOBS?" He said it's vital to keeping America competitive and our economy the envy of the world.
--Mitt plans to increase military spending and KEEP radical Muslims on the defensive and off balance. As he said, "if you attack America you invite you own destruction!"
--Mitt assured me personally after the event, "NOBODY will seize your personal weapons when I'm the President."
Ladies and gentlemen we conservatives have a new leader. The question is, will YOU follow Mitt to victory or stay home and accept a Democrat socialist President?
Let's support Mitt and beat back the Democrat red tide!
