Well, I’m still hoping and praying for an alternative. But I don’t expect to get it from the GOP establishment.
They would far rather lose than give up their corruption. Half a loaf from Obama would make them much happier than and end to corruption from an honest conservative.
I haven’t even heard of any protests scheduled for Tampa, much less talk of a contested convention.
Is everyone just going to bend over and take Romney?
It is time to leave fantasy land and start living in reality, alright?
Much as I wish Sarah would have run, she didn’t, and Newt was a dud. Smart as he is, he fails to connect with people and comes across as really arrogant, and won what...two states?
Yeah, I voted for Newt in FL. and I’m sure a number of other people around here voted for him in their respective states, but damn near everyone else did not. He simply is not a good candidate, sorry, time to wake up, we are about to lose America to a muslim communist and Newt Gingrich can’t do a damn thing to stop it.
Oh, I think the Bushes like Romney just fine. He's their kind of people. While the zombies can find no difference between Romney and obama, I can find no difference between Romney and any Bush.
If your core thesis is that Romney is toast because "the base" don't like him, I'd remind you that "the base" is a minority. They(we) are outnumbered even by the "independents." I'd love to see a Newt/Sarah ticket, but I know when I wake up tomorrow that it will have been ...only a dream...only a dream...
Palin bought time at a storefront near the Convention. I’m planning on showing up for the Con. Matter of fact, I think I’ll be there or be Reticulan.
However, don’t expect Romney NOT to be the nominee. He will be.
The Establishment stole it fair and square.
Best,
Chris
If Sarah assembles what you say, she will have shown heroic courage.
But recently I had a different take:
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/chat/2877402/posts?page=71#62
Almost a given that Obama will win. The people that will “hold their nose” are not enough to put the RINO over the top. The unions will ensure Obama gets a 2nd term.
Now here are some popcorn scenarios I am hoping for in the event that Obama is elected:
* The Tea Party members of the House increase their numbers in 2012 and are strong enough to vote for Michele Bachmann as Speaker of the House. Conservatives everywhere are ecstatic at this development. Michele wastes no time in prosecuting cases that have languished under the previous Speaker.
* The press finally gets on to the Fast & Furious case to expose Obama and Holder either as culprits or catches them in obstruction of justice. There is a reason they are not providing more than 10,000 pages of documents subpoenaed by Congress; they are hiding something and the deadline to comply is end of May 2012. Just today it’s reported that Issa has the contempt papers prepared against Holder.
* The Sheriff Arpaio case breaks wide open and the press finally starts reporting it to the public. The vetting that should have taken place in 2008 will finally start.
* Obama is impeached. Race riots are threatened if he is convicted in the Senate. Spineless Senators reject blatant and voluminous evidence and proof that Obama is an usurper, and as a result are hounded and tracked by Tea Party Patriots who pound a never-ending beat that they will be primaried if they ignore the overwhelming evidence and proof and choose to back down from convicting Obama. Trent Lott Never again!
* Obama is driven from office and Biden moves towards being sworn in but there is intense uproar by the public and by TP members in Congress that if Obama was never legitimate, then Biden cannot be sworn in.
* While hashing out at the SCOTUS the status of Biden’s legitimacy for ascending to the Oval Office, Speaker Bachmann is voted by the House to be sworn in as President Pro Tem but RINOs and dems in the Senate refuse to vote for cloture to approve Speaker Bachmann as President Pro Tem and Senate Majority leader McConnell refuses to go nuclear to bring the chaos to an end.
* Sensing an unfavorite ruling by SCOTUS regarding his legitimacy to ascend as President and with Speaker Bachmann’s vote in Congress delayed by RINOs in the Senate, Biden makes his move and gets himself sworn in as President; consequences be damned.
* Liberals everywhere are bubbly and tingly over Biden’s hubris proclaiming he is the President they always wanted.
* A special election is held in 2014 for President with initially Bachmann and Biden squaring off. Romney tries to get in again but this time conservatives are after blood and Romney hasn’t a chance against the anti-RINO mood of the electorate.
* McConnell gets primaried and pilloried in 2014. He ends his “career” in disgrace.
* During the special election of 2014 SCOTUS weighs in with a decision on Biden and rules that he was never legitimately VP and therefore must step down immediately from the Oval Office. Bachmann is sworn in.
* Hillary throws her hat into the ring against Bachmann in the 2014 Special Election.
Now Who wins? How do you complete this scenario?
Pass the Popcorn ........
OK...
This reads like a pleasant fantasy. Calling it a “plan” is a bit of a stretch.
I’d purely love a Newt-Sarah ticket. Actually, I’d prefer a Sarah-Cain ticket, but if wishes were horses than beggars would ride.
Not that I would be upset if it did happens this way, mind you.
NUTS! was the answer of General McAuliffe not Patton.
Great troll
Wisconsin is the key. And I think we will know how the general election goes next month when the recall election is held. Walker wins, Obama loses in November.
“assimilate this” ...
The class enemy is on a roll.
We can all dream our hopeful dreams and I like to do that. But your post is flat-out correct and tells succinctly why it would take an insurrection in Tampa to bring about such a scenario. GOPe ain’t gonna cooperate with us.
Unfortunately, Mitt has it in the bag. Mitt and the GOP-e scorched Earth policy against Conservatives was successful.
Short of a miracle, there is NO stopping Mitt from buying and smearing his way to the nomination.
I’m already monatarily committed to the initial script idea of this thread and do not want to over-extend myself too thin. But, I’ll keep this in mind as an alternate ending.
However, the crowd bit off more than it could chew when they put their boy Priebus in charge of the RNC.
That's run as bad as Wisconsin under the Democrats and it's not going to get better.
“Short of a miracle, there is NO stopping Mitt from buying and smearing his way to the nomination.”
We are the miracle.
