Today I had a thought that might get us through this crap sandwich we’ve gotten rammed down our throats call Romney.

Phase 1 - Convince Romney to select a reliable conservative as VP.

Phase 2 - Focus all of our energy at defeating Obama.

Phase 3 - Summon up all the courage we can to hold down the bile as are forced to vote for Romney.

Phase 4 - Impeach Romney at the first offense thus placing a conservative in the oval office.

This is the best I scenario I can think of that keeps Obama from being reelected and Romney from being Romney. I had such high hopes for this year and we got a punked.

The competition was not for naught: it did push Mitt Romney’s run to the right. As for impeaching him — only if he does something impeachable, of course, like try to force gay marriage from a Federal level. After this season of Obama constitutional outrages, Mitt will look milktoast bland.

Kind of look at this way ...
There was a royal flush dealt.
The elites took the royal portion,
Conservatives were given a flush.

Hate it down here in the sewer!
Should have been the elites' flushed!

Phase 4 - Impeach Romney at the first offense thus placing a conservative in the oval office.

Sorry, any plan that involves voting for Romney is a non-starter. Besides, Phase 4 is a ludicrous impossibility.

My feeling is that the best we can hope for now is solid Republican majorities in the House and Senate and weak Obama re-elected with a plurality of the vote due to a conservative third party contender.

A strong conservative third party contender has three good effects:

1.) It will cause Romney to lose.

2.) It serve as a punch in the face to the GOP-e.

3.) It will bring out otherwise apathetic conservatives to help down-ticket Republicans to win.
