Texas Newspaper: "Romney Needs To Step Aside & Let Palin Take Over"




Mitt Romney needs to quit supporting the campaign of Barack Hussein Obama.  It seems that Mitt Romney and his staff lack courage, as did John McCain, to take on a Black Marxist with a Muslim name.  It is time for Mitt Romney to shed all vestiges of Political Correctness, White Guilt, and Islamic Sensitivity.  Mitt Romney must start acting like the Presidential candidate who is capable of saving the United States of America and all of Western Civilization from Barack Obama, George Soros, and all on the Progressive Far Left who are supporting Barack Obama.

These are very difficult, challenging, and serious times.  Government spending and our National Debt are spiraling further out of control.  Few Republicans in Congress have the intestinal fortitude to challenge Obama and his corrupt Administration.  Barack Obama and Eric Holder continue to defy the laws of our nation and to act as if they hold imperial/dictatorial powers over the American people.

Mitt Romney promised the Republicans he was the best and most courageous person to be our Republican Presidential Candidate.  If Romney cannot quickly muster his courage and get his staff on board, Romney needs to step aside and let someone like Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, or Donald Trump take his place.
Obama has not been doing well as our President, and it is time for Obama to begin enjoying his retirement.

 The American people agree and want Obama out of their White House.

Obama is apparently covering up and hiding his own involvement in the Fast and Furious gun smuggling operation.  The American people increasingly oppose ObamaCare.  Obama’s economic programs are not creating jobs nor are they creating economic growth.  Government spending and our national debt are both growing at alarming rates.  Obama is providing no resistance to the adverse and hostile actions of Iran, North Korea, China, Russia, Muslim Brotherhood, and many other terrorist groups.

Our Supreme Court just declared that the individual mandate in ObamaCare is a tax.  The American people hate additional taxes, so this was a great political advantage for Mitt Romney until his spokesman Eric Fehrnstrom said it was not a tax but a penalty.

Mitt Romney quickly corrected his spokesman.  Fox News reported,
"The majority of the court said it's a tax, therefore it's a tax," Romney said in a CBS News interview. "They have spoken. There's no way around that. The American people (now) know that President Obama has broken the pledge he made. He said he wouldn't raise taxes on middle-income Americans."
However, the Fox News report continued,
Romney's comments Wednesday in fact mark the second time in three days that the campaign has attempted to clarify its position.
Hours after Fehrnstrom's comment, the campaign issued a statement saying Romney considers the fine an "unconstitutional penalty" rather than a tax. 
The Wall Street Journal took Mitt Romney to task on Thursday,
If Mitt Romney loses his run for the White House, a turning point will have been his decision Monday to absolve President Obama of raising taxes on the middle class. He is managing to turn the only possible silver lining in Chief Justice John Roberts's ObamaCare salvage operation—that the mandate to buy insurance or pay a penalty is really a tax—into a second political defeat.
Appearing on MSNBC, close Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom was asked by host Chuck Todd if Mr. Romney "agrees with the president" and "believes that you shouldn't call the tax penalty a tax, you should call it a penalty or a fee or a fine?"
"That's correct," Mr. Fehrnstrom replied, before attempting some hapless spin suggesting that Mr. Obama must be "held accountable" for his own "contradictory" statements on whether it is a penalty or tax. Predictably, the Obama campaign and the media blew past Mr. Fehrnstrom's point, jumped on the tax-policy concession, and declared the health-care tax debate closed.
Mitt Romney and the American People need to remember the words of Thucydides, an Ancient Greek author and historian, who lived about 460 to 404 BC.
“The secret of happiness is freedom. The secret of freedom is courage.”
Mitt Romney and the American People need to recall the words of Ronald Reagan on 30 March 1961,
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.”
We all need to recall Ronald Reagan’s warning on 27 October 1964 when the American people again faced “A Time for Choosing.”
“If we lose freedom here, there is no place to escape to. This is the last stand on Earth. And this idea that government is beholden to the people, that it has no other source of power except to sovereign people, is still the newest and most unique idea in all the long history of man's relation to man. This is the issue of this election. Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American revolution and confess that a little intellectual elite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.”
It is a time for choosing again, and the ball is in Mitt Romney’s court.
