"It remains important for the country that Romney wins in November (unless he chooses tostep down and we get the Ryan-Rubio ticket we deserve!). But that shouldn't blind us to the fact that Romney's comments, like those of Obama four years ago, are stupid and arrogant.
Indeed: Has there been a presidential race in modern times featuring two candidates who have done so little over their lifetimes for our country, and who have so little substance to say about the future of our country? "
Assertion: We deserve a Ryan-Rubio ticket
Who is we? Conservatives? Americans? What qualifies these men for the presidency? This assertion coming from such a prominent conservative thinker indicates a total disgust for Mitt Romney? Considering the idea expressed that a Romney win is important for the country, this is not a very passionate endorsement. The Pathos is missing. The likelihood of Romney stepping down? This sounds like a wail of defeat.
Assertion: Romney's comments like Obama's four years ago are stupid and arrogant.
So, to Kristol, Romney equates to Obama four years ago? But it is "important to defeat Obama?" Only a dutiful statement stated in irony because the idea of a Romney presidency would destroy the Republican party? A hopeless race?
My Conclusion:
For conservatives it is 4 more years in the wilderness. Gear up for 2016? Better to defeat Romney so that the whole liberal-moderate political landscape can go away? I think the leading conservatives have just endorsed Obama because Romney is unpalatable. There are more questions than answers.
