Romney, unfortunately, is all but locked in at this point. At least Obama will beat him like how Bush beat Kerry (and for similar reasons) and we can be free of him forevermore.
Actually, Romney is going to be the new Reagan who drives your ilk crazy for eight long, prosperous years. You'll never understand or accept it just like you never understood or accepted Reagan.
To understand Reagan was not to accept him and to accept Reagan was not to understand him.
Liberal myth. What we're doing right now shows you what type of progress we've had in the past thirty years. Look around your place at all of the innovations that have made your life more comfortable than things were in 1980.
Name any thirty-year period of history in the past three or four centuries of which this has
not been true. The technological sector and the economy as a whole aren't always the same story (indeed, technology, in terms of what was being made if not what was most widely available, was advancing at a fairly rapid pace
during the Great Depression). Material was void; void, material. The Reagan boom was not real. We realized that around 2007.
Oh, and also:
I'm going to go out on a limb and say Mitt Romney.
It's ridiculous that the most obvious paper tiger since Ed Muskie is apparently going to cruise to the nomination, maybe even carry all fifty states, while being disliked by a large majority of the party and never cracking 30% in the national polls, but that's seemingly where we are.
