None of that matters to me anymore. Were in the fight for our Republic against the evil Marxist and his corrupt administration, all of whom have to be thrown out out office and swept from the Departments of Justice, State and Defense for starters!
As always, you have precisely defined the battle ahead and also crystallized the essence of Conservatism. Liberals are governed almost solely by raw emotions and get wedded to a single idea much like children. For example, they continue to embrace the myth of AGW in spite of the science not being settled, in fact, evidence accumulates daily that global warming is a phantom.
Conservatives are made of better stuff. We are analytical types and use our God-given power of reason to evaluate circumstances. Consequently, the Conservative mind is nimble and with that mental acuity (which liberals lack) comes the ability to be agile. Thoughtfulness is trait of true Conservatives. Therefore, given the present situation, Newt Gingrich presents the best opportunity to depose the communist from his position of power.
I think also that we Conservatives don't look to our politicians as leaders any more than we idolize them (as the leftists do with Zero). Instead, we rightfully see politicians as servants of WE THE PEOPLE. In essence, President Newt Gingrich will be our employee and we'll be his boss...and we'll let him know that!
As to this election, the Marxist's evil work has to be stopped and obamacare has to be undone. Completely repealed and torn from the roots, unless of course SCOTUS does it for us before the election. Nonetheless, the election will still remain a referendum on and about him and Marxism. Let him win reelection and he will think his policies have won.
Entire Federal Departments are corrupt and filled with thugs. Pensioned federal employees hired by this administration whom I suspect have no allegiance to our country. All his czars. All have to go.
A wholesale cleansing of all federal departments and the closing of several.
