What about Mike Lee, Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus, Ron Johnson, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Ted Cruz, etc.?
With the exception of Romney, all of the ones I've listed are more prominent today than any of the ones you listed. What makes your list "the face and the future of the GOP" more than mine?
Defeatism is un-American.
I think Colorado will go for Romney. There aren’t enough gay people there to put Obama over the top.
Had only the so called “conservatives” polled hard against Romney, following the primary suspensions that Romney bought off with the same cash he killed them with, we could have had a shot for a convention instead of a coronation, but cowards cower while singing ‘God Bless America’ for Romney and our future is sealed with theirs, for their fear and abhorrence of any resistance whatsoever.
We’re left with one man left with a following large enough and mad enough to maybe raise hell at the convention. Our friendly Uncle Nutty, and frankly, for that, I like his lasting and real brass.
“He’s deeply religious, apparently, but can’t or won’t say how his religion has shaped his life and politics.”
They so badly want Romney to do this so they can attack him relentlessly for it, just as they did GWB.
“A poll taken last month showed President Obama with a seven-point lead in the state. “
I can’t find any poll showing a 7 point lead for Obama. The best is a 4 point lead, with most in the range of 2 pts to a tie.
Wishful thinking.
They are stool pigeons for the false face, or they are part of the false face.
I’m demonstrating what is and what has been.
You’re just giving me more of that hopey-dreamy stuff.
The GOP is dead...DOA actually.
Colorado is a lost cause of pot smoking, liberal dopeheads.
Maybe Denver and Boulder will burn, and take some rats with it!
No, but plenty of liberals!
If you ever want a tagline, that's it!
So Mike Lee, Scott Walker, Paul Ryan, Reince Priebus, Ron Johnson, Bobby Jindal, Rand Paul, Allen West, Marco Rubio, and Ted Cruz are all "stool pigeons" (whatever the heck that is supposed to mean in this context) or liars?
Not one of these individuals is an honest, courageous conservative?
I think you are talking crazy, arrogant, defeatist nonsense here.
The picture escapes me. What is that person doing?
Hence, Death Panels. NOW do you understand Obamacare? It's a liquidation plan!
And it sounds like he needs a job. Guest lecturer at a library sounds a lot like like Obozo's suspect gig at U. of Chicago: a "placeholder" for someone talent-spotted by "somebody big" -- Houston mayors get lecture gigs at Rice University, courtesy of the PTB. Sort of like Ike's presidency at Columbia University, while he was waiting to be called in by the economic royalists to be the Republican nominee for 1952.
Does our guy get free parking?
Any among your list who are sincere conservatives will find their hopes dashed or their directions twisted by the dark side.
This isn’t “defeatist”; it is pragmatic.
Realists recognize that the GOP is a tool used by the aristocracy to keep the direction of march always leftward.
You are correct. The GOP has been moving in the leftward direction for quite some time. Gradually, but always leftward so that today the “rank and file” really is the GOP-E. There are not so many RINO’s; rather CINO’s (Conservative In Name Only)!
Don't be surprised if a realignment is happening. The rats are bailing out on working class whites, and they noticed.
In the 2010 midterm election, when Republicans crushed Democrats up and down the ballot nationally, less than 33 percent of the white working class voted for House Democrats – a record low.It helps to explain why in 2010 the GOP got 60 percent of the total white vote for the first time in history.
The white working class has no other place to go. They and the Tea Party can remake the GOP. IMHO, the white working class is much more likely to embrace traditional values, maybe not as much as they used to, but I still think they would be a shot in the arm for conservatism.
