Dick had some good things to say and one of them is the fractured state in the Republican party. HOWEVER what I am seeing and hearing is yes, Dick is right it has been very fractured and many have had many different candidates and fighting hard against each other's candidates. We aren't afraid to take each other on here and try to pin down truth or our own interpretation of that truth or truths and weigh them against our solid values (unlike DEMS!--There ain't no difference there and solid values for Dems! Don't even get me started!).

Republicans have a big tent and we are doing some, 'figurin'. And we are looking around at others in the tent and finding out a little more about what inspires the focus on one candidate or not another. In an odd way there is a sort of roll call going on and we are all finding out sometimes surprising things about who all is in here. Sometimes with glee other times with incredible disappointment and even anger and disgust (more at some of the hateful postings). Now I think we are getting a sense and choosing to focus.

What I am seeing is people are starting to focus and bind together around one candidate, slowly and surely and that candidate is Mitt Romney and they also love Fred, just don't think he is going to maybe make it to the big dance. Two conservatives.

There are probably still some staunch and solid Fredittes that disagree with me adamantly, and I understand that and I understand their staunch support for Fred. But the coalescing is happening. We aren't a bunch of sheep here though like the Dems. We fight hard for what and who we believe in and we don't always toe the line. We will and are coming together though and we do it in our own time and in our own way and not in the MSM time and way.

We also have not had Guiliani in the mix, so that is going to bring on another roll call as I mentioned above as Rudy calls to another group of Republicans. In the end though I am sure Romney will be the man and we will all coalesce even more so to fight for a candidate that we believe will bring a bright light and security to our future and lead us with core values and fiscal conservancy while also fending off the greatest fear--the Hildabeast or the Hypewhisperer.

The most important thing to me is that our party puts forth a man who represents conservatism, caring for the Constitution and the people. Win or lose, I want to be proud of my candidate. I could not be proud of Huck or McCain. Nuf said.
