A brokered convention was never likely. This race has been in Romney’s hands for quite a while, even in the few days of seeming Santorum and Gingrich momentum.

When you are about to get raped there is no reason to give up and stop fighting. Romney / RNC / Fox / Media don’t have a gun.

We can vote against Romney as long as it is possible, and then make sure Obama doesn’t win in November. They are not mutually exclusive.

I don’t know about you people but I am not an etch a sketch. I’d like to see Romney lose some states.

Let me put it this way, friends, and I must ask you to please pardon my ungentlemanly choice of words:

I do not suffer from battered spouse syndrome, and I never will. I know when I am not wanted and it is clear that the Republican Party no longer wants me.

Either I help change that party, or I leave it. But I will not live on my knees.

I'm afraid 'helping change the party' is no longer an option (if it ever was).

They knew what they were doing.....they've done this before....they will do it again

Leaving seems the only option for me.

Santorum could improve his chances by campaigning with the following idea:

Due to the FHA, Fannie and Freddie Bankruptcies of September, 2008, American home owners lost 30 % of the value of their homes. That is a 30 % cut in just one month. Home values are still down 30 %.

Thus, let us cut the total compensation to all elected Federal politicians, and their staffs by 30 %, and an additional 10 % cut to elected Federal politicians each year until Federal Spending is LESS THAN the average of the previous 2 years of Federal income.

BTW, since slightly less than half of the US House, and 2/3 of the US Senate are Millionaires, it will be a great opportunity for Congress to lead by example that EVERYONE should give up their “fair” share of the American Dream.

What better way can there be to demonstrate that America is truly a SUB-PRIME NATION?

I’ve drawn some allusions on here to Richard Nixon and the Southern Strategy, seeing as Obama is doing his level-best so scare working class whites over to the GOP with hoodie riots and rampaging hippies.

Then I watched Mitt’s speech from Milwaukee last night, and it dawned on me that “My God, this fellow actually IS Richard Nixon! The consummate used car salesman. He can talk out of all sides of his mouth at once”.

Been predicting a CW for a while. It’s back on the table again for me. I just hoped it could be avoided, but it can’t be.

No changes will be allowed in the party. The game is rigged. All the levers of power are controlled by the liberals of the party and will never be relinquished-—never.
