Well you know Mitt wants another go at it. He thinks he won in 2012 and it got stolen. He’s prolly right. Its got to eat at him night and day. I hate to say it but I think he’s going to run and if he does its going to mess things up for Ted Cruz and Rick Perry.

This is wild crazy thinking, I know, but as a student of history at least in some small ways, I know wild and crazy happen. By turning away from the GOP and running for president on an Independent ticket, limited government guys like Cruz could motivate disillusioned leftists who don't want to be associated with square Republicans, but who want ... like everybody ... LIMITED GOVERNMENT.

It would be great if Cruz, or Palin, or a real limited government Constitutional-type Christian conservative got the Republican nomination. It would also be great if I won the lottery. I ain't plannin' on either one.

The GOP will probably nominate (ha ha) a Democrat-lite Republican, again. I believe that numbers are very strong in legitimate voters in America toward a limited government mood, really a stand on taking back freedoms and cutting back the Federal Government, but with deep prejudices against Democrat as well as Republican stereotypes. An "Independent" can be that bridge, and his best allies will be conservative Republicans. If the Republican party throws off the mantle of the limited government party, then it will be time for a "third" party.

Maybe it's time for one anyway. How a political party could expect intelligent people to stick with it when its nominees held the same big-government values as the opposition party ... well, people are smart enough to know a load of crap when they see it, and the choice between big government pile 1 and big government pile 2 seems invisible only to the MSM.
