How about a Romney/Bachman GOP Ticket?
by Mike on Jun.03, 2011, under Political
Let me start with this – Mitt Romney is not my top candidate for the GOP presidential nod. He is not as ideologically pure as I would prefer (can you say RomneyCare?). However, if he is able to swallow his pride and admit that Romneycare was a mistake, which he has been loathe to do so far, then I would be willing to forgo the ideological purity for the candidate with the best chance to defeat President Obama.
Unfortunately, our Country is standing at the precipice, looking into a death spiral which culminates in a wimpified, social democratic United States of America if Obama is re-elected and Obamacare, massive debt spending, continued anti-business regulation, etc. are not stopped dead in their tracks. I do think that Romney would bring a much more conservative business-like approach to the Presidency and pull us back from the brink.
I do like Michele Bachmann a lot, but I am not convinced she is ready for prime-time yet. But I do believe she could provide the ticket with conservative street cred and energize the Tea Party in a way that Mitt would not. But who knows where we will be in 522 days from now? A lot can/will happen between now and then.
What are your thoughts?
