We still have a primary going on where almost half the country has not had their say, nor have the delegates at the convention had a chance to discuss this and vote on this Romney nomination idiocy, and you come bloviating and calling people names because they object to abandoning the conservative that stayed in this race?
I listen to Levin too, and he he raised the white flag about four months early, and a lot of conservatives know it. I don’t need you interpreting for me what Levin did and is doing, and it is a big mistake.
So, the ex-Speaker of the House who led the conservative takeover of the House in 1994 and the House itself and pretty much the conservative movement, until the Bonior/ Boehner group ousted him, is not “anyone”?
Stuff it, yourself.
In its simplest form, beside GOP establishment power, this is Newt hating. I am a fervent Newt supporter, but if it were exactly reversed now, and Santorum were standing where Newt is, battered, bruised, nearly broke but standing tall, I would get in a boatload of anti-emetics, talk to myself hard and long, and do what I had to to get the last conservative standing to the convention with a chance. And I don't want to describe how much I can't stand Santorum, but I would do it for my country and for conservative principles. And I am a nobody, these are prominent people who should know what message they are sending about giving up and giving in...
Those talking heads are always talking admiringly and writing books about the founding of this nation and the Declaration and call themselves the Defender of the Constitution, and saying the people need to emulate the the Founding Fathers and calling each other Great Americans, ad nauseum, but when the going gets tough, they all start running away from the line of fire.
They have no loyalty to the other conservatives that live in other parts of this nation, or who are working for some other conservative than the one they themselves have chosen to support. If their own chosen conservative loses, they want to pick up their marbles and go home, or throw in with the big-wigs! They do not support the convention system with its grass-roots-based orderly pattern of decision-making which mirrors our democratic-republican form of government.
These guys are into top-down control of the little people nearly as much as the socialists are!
