What Would You Think if I Said “I Don’t Care Who Romney Picks for Veep?” (–But I DO care WHAT he Picks)

Condoleeza Rice? What ever. Rob Portman? Yawn-a-roo. Loni Anderson in her prime? Eh, I’ll get back to you…

All I Want for Christmas is for Mitt Romney to pick a conservative. Who knows how to fight. And who knows how to win.

Let’s face it: Mitt Romney is connecting with voters in much the same way the sewer connects to your house: You kinda have to have it, or there’s gonna be crap everywhere. We will vote for the Mittster –maybe even stump for him– because we must. We literally have no choice.

The righteous wrath of the Tea Party will put Governor Romney in the White House. It won’t be Karl Rove, it won’t be Matt Drudge and all of his moles working in the Romney war-room. It won’t be Peggy Noonan writing another oh-so-velvety-smooth column in the Wall Street Journal that puts Romney in the Oval Office.

It will be the American People who will rise up on Election day, in a landslide that hasn’t been seen for 32 years, that will put Mitt’s hand on the bible on a cold day in January at the West Front of the United States Capitol.

There will be fury --fury!– expressed on Election Day. There will be a stampede of Patriots at dawn to inundate the polls– with a tidal wave of heretofore unseen emotion –emotion that will erase the horrible, unspeakable mistake the electorate made four short years ago.

How am I so sure? What is the tap-root of my confidence?

At every opportunity since 2008, when the  America People have had a chance to reverse course, or had a moment to express their utter horror of the Obama nightmare, they’ve reached into their voting booths, and cried out “No More!”

Think about it; call it the Tea Party Roll Call:

Scott Brown. Bob McDonnell. Chris Cristie. Nancy Pelosi and the entire congress in 2010. Nearly 800 state legislators, unknowable local elections. Madison and the recalls of the Wisconsin senate, and of Governor Walker. Richard Murdoch. At every turn, the Tea Party has arisen, mobilized, marched, and volunteered. They’ve canvassed, they’ve phone-banked, they’ve walked the precincts, they’ve raised millions of dollars.

They’ve saved America. The Tea Party –and ONLY the Tea Party– has stood between Obama, and the certain death of our Republic.

And I am NOT kidding.

Therefore, it sure would be nice for the Mittster to throw us a bone.

Pick a Fighter, Governor Romney. And pick a CONSERVATIVE.

    I hope your optimism holds true.

      ….I’d like to see Jim DeMint as the VP nominee.

      Thoughts?

        Win a debate against Joe Biden, How hard is that?

        • gekster

          Romney said he was going to pick a conservative VP.
          Now, mind you, I won’t hold my breath on that,
          but he has suprised before this cycle.

  • westcoastpatriette

    And I think you are right. I have never been so politically furious in my life…and you are right on another count…it is righteous rage.

  • jdaman

    I concur, a Conservative fighter, ANY conservative fighter is fine with me! I do have a personal viewpoint on which conservative fighter is best but I will be happy if Romney picks any fighting conservative.

    I do have one problem though with this post though, the name of the Governor of Virginia is Bob McDonnell, not Bob Macdonald.

    • conservativecurmudgeon

      …all the names start to run together after a nonce, but I really appreciate noticing the oops on the Virginia Governor…

      On to November!

  • AceInTX

    We can’t afford to shrug this off and say whatever….because they way the Republican Party picks it’s nominee all but guarantees that Romney’s VP pick will head the ticket in 2016 or 2020.

    Portman is the man most often name mentioned as Romney’s pick but from what I know if him…he’s a closet squish and a product of the liberal Taft Machine in Ohio….he promises to be a Gerald Ford to Romney’s Richard Nixon. a combination that saw a consolidation and expansion of Johnson’s statist agenda that included the disastrous war on poverty, the creation of the EPA and countless other regulatory agencies.

    We need to wake up to what’s being done and said by the Romeny camp on the VP pick…and we need to start getting Noisy about it or we’re going to be saddled with another McCain/Dole/GHW Bush/Ford style loser in 16 and/or 20

    • conservativecurmudgeon

      And, how, oh how, I wish it weren’t true. There are so many strong conservatives that have never, and will never be, chosen to be a second-fiddle running mate…

      Much to our detriment. Why do we automatically give a mental one-leg-up to some fellow’s second choice? Odd, now that you recall it….

      • AceInTX

        …..either they go for the VP to the last Republican President, or they will go to the second place finisher from the last campaign if the VP from the last campaign was a conservative…

        You can take it to the bank…and it sucks…..and as I say….we need to start paying attention and start making some noise that we won’t accept a milk toast Moderate for VP or we’re going to end up with Portman who’s a product of the liberal Taft Machine in Ohio….a sleepy eyed Dukakis clone like Pawlenty, or a boring Trucer like Daniels as the nominee in 16 or 20

        • Dave_A

          Our 2nd-place finisher from this cycle is Rick Santorum, who may not sit well with libertarians, but is hardly a Rockefeller Republican…

          What happens if we get a conservative VP, when it’s time to pick the next headliner?

          P.S. 2000 kind of breaks your mold, too… Bush wasn’t anywhere to be seen in 1996, and Pat B got (rightly) thumped….

          • AceInTX

            and are you saying the party bosses will pick Santorum next time out?….no they won’t…that’s why I think Romney is going to pick a milk toast boring moderate like Pawlenty or Portman to give the party bosses a leg up on the 16 or 20 elections unless conservatives start paying attention and making some noise that we won’t lie down for to squishes on the ticket.

          • AceInTX

            I wouldn’t want to be accused of attacking the Republican Party as a whole by leaving that important distinction out.

          • acat

            Romney loses.

            Who’s next in line?
            – 2nd highest vote-getter – Santorum
            – power position under Bush* – various
            – popular governors – Perry etc. etc.

            In short, if Romney loses, look for the gutless D.C. wing of the GOP to try to foist one of their own on us in 2016 … and for another useless Conservative circular firing squad.

            Mew

            * Let’s not forget that Bush 1.0 took the “D.C. Insider” route….

          • http://impudent.edublogs.org/ kyle8

            continue to try and foist their munchkins off on us, both in national and state elections, regardless of what happens. It’s what they do.

          • acat

            Conservatives wait until after 2014 to start campaigning.

            Reagan didn’t wait until after 1978…

            Mew

            (to prove the point – Romney didn’t wait until after 2010 .. )

  • troublingtimes

    Love your post. This is what I am holding onto as well…I am ignoring the stupid polls and media scare tactics and looking back over what America has DONE when given a chance to right this wrong.

    But, in all honesty, sometimes I still get spooked. This CANNOT happen again.

  • Change Jar Conservative

    I would like a governor and he at least has shown that government could be cut.

    I still like Daniels as well, but if he didn’t want his family dragged through the mud for the Presidency, I doubt he’ll do it for VP (we already saw what happened to the Palins in this regard last time around).

  • WA_Cowboy

    pick a conservative fighter and I’ll be thrilled no matter WHO it actually is.

  • http://www.TerriersOfTheRight.blogspot.com Flagstaff

    John Sununu.

    At one time he was considered to be conservative. A negative against him was the nomination of David Souter. He has some old travel “scandals” in his past. He’s about 73 years old. And I don’t think he’s a “natural born citizen” and therefore not even eligible, but I could be wrong about that.

    The name occurred to me because he seems to have become Romney’s attack dog, his Dick Cheney, and is one guy out there right now giving the Dems heck.

    The heck with the law and the Constitution. It’ll be Romney-Sununu in 2012. (^:^)
