NeoCon Kristol: It's Going to be President Romney

Writing at his flagship rag, Bill Kristol proclaims:
... if I had to put money down now, I’d bet that Mitt Romney will win an easy victory after a relatively predictable, issue-focused, and not-too-nasty campaign. Indeed, I’d bet Romney will win precisely if he runs such a campaign. But if he allows the race to degenerate into name-calling and gotcha gimmicks, he could lose. Democrats are better than Republicans at the small and nasty stuff... Romney can give serious speeches about the Constitution and the Supreme Court, the case for limited government and the threat of bankruptcy and penury, about undoing Obamacare and what will replace it 
So when Romney-Ryan defeats Obama-Biden (or will it be Obama-Clinton?) by 53 to 46 percent on Election Day 2012—remember that you read it here first.
Actually, the only person who is running an issued-focused campaign and giving serious speeches about the Constitution is Ron Paul, and the crowds he is drawing prove that he is hitting a note with Americans. Kristol is signalling to Romney to use the Ron Paul method, so we get a phony move back to the Constitution, rather than the real thing with Ron Paul. A typical neo-con move, co-opt everything and anything to gain power for the real secret agenda that will result in a destruction of the liberties provided for in the Constitution and more foreign wars.

  1. And Obama will beat Romney hands down. There is no chance for Romney.

  2. What I don't get is why Kristol would root against Obama? Seriously, what has Augustus Barack done that Kristol finds so disagreeable? Ending "don't ask don't tell"? Puhleez. The Bush legacy Kristol cheerled for has been continued and ramped-up with cold, ruthless efficiency. Obama has proven himself to be the neocon of all neocons.

    But perhaps this is their true shrewd strategy? Get behind a red team candidate for the sake of appearances, but who is really no antagonist to the incumbent they're more than satisfied with. Now go back to being enraged about contraception, sheeple!

    1. He does not seem to state his preference, only offer his, "prediction."

    Bingo.

    Everyone and anyone who wants to understand neoconservatism must read "Neoconservatism: An Obituary for an Idea", which contains the knowledge quoted in the passage above.

  4. Neocons don't bet, they rig the results.

    Ergo, this is a bad sign for Romney.
