Well, I’d vote for a syphillitic camel before I’d vote for Huckabee, Gingrich, or Romney.
But I think that people are so sick of choosing the lesser of two evils, as foisted on them by the RINO establishment, that they may just decide to throw the GOP in the trash bin of history, and vote for a new second party candidate instead.
Sarah Palin has said that she hopes the Republicans show some sense next time. Because the old game is now over. Either they show some sense, or we need to vote, not for some third party spoiler, but for a SECOND PARTY candidate.
That’s not easy to do. It only happens once every 150 years or so. But the GOP threw the Whigs in the garbage 150 years ago, and now I think it’s there turn.
Shape up or ship out.
You need a true leader to bring off such a transformation. I think Sarah has what it takes. She has indicated that she won’t do it if she doesn’t have to. But if the Karl Roves of the RINO Establishment, or the Corrupt Bastards Club, try to pull the same trick for the 75th time, then it’s time to throw them into the garbage.
Because our country’s time is up. We’ve reached the end of the line. No more of this lesser evil ploy. It won’t work.
The TEA Party needs to find the right candidate, unite around him, and PUSH HIM (or her!) HARD on the establishment.
If we aren’t pro active in this way, the inside the Beltway GOP will surely try to foist a RINO on us
Look how the pushed Scozzafava right to the end
So, if the candidate is the one being pushed by the "RINO establishment," whose fault is it? We, not "they."
BTW, it starts at the precinct level--sending delegates to the various conventions so people who don't like the "establishment" have nobody to blame if they haven't participated at the local level.
The problem starts with the order of primary elections. The GOP POTUS candidate is often chosen by states who don't vote Republican in the general election. McCain had been chosen before Texas voted last time...and I doubt he would have carried Texas. We are one of the reddest states and our votes didn't count...but NH's did.
A lot of FReepers are active at the local level. Those who have never been to a precinct meeting shouldn't complain!
