Unfortunately, Americans hate “vision” and will not tolerate a visionary.
What Americans want is a vanilla personality with a glib tongue, oily hair, and a TV host personality - preferably one with no ideas at all, who won’t “rock the boat.”
Wow, in two sentences you captured the state of the current American culture. It’s a cynical view, but it finally explains to me perfectly the failure of Newt Gingrich, as the only one of the 4 who remain with a vision for the future. The two leaders now are perfectly milquetoast, and clones of each other, so much that I wonder what it is that’s preferable among so many members here in Saint Ricky the big gummint boy.
That would be Romney or Santorum that Americans have foolishly voted for....at least those who even voted.
I'm close to a broken heart that Americans cannot discern our times nor the urgency....they are clearly willingly deceived by the ads Romneys running, the Media who are protecting Obamas Presidency ,which included their "lifting" Santorum up... in order to take out the very individual who can and would take Obama and this administration down..and that's Newt.....it really is heartbreaking for.. with folks supporting either Santorum or Romney they have taken the bait set to pull them in on the wrong side.
