RNC called me recently.
I told them I was very angry with the Republican Party.
I still am.
I don’t and won’t beg anything from them.
AG-NTSA
The apprehension I have with a brokered convention is that the compromise might be Jeb Somebody. And that would spell doom, as the after taste still lingers.
The establishment Republicans are less concerned with winning the White House in 2012, as long as they keep the House and possibly gain the Senate. Thus, they will not swing their support to a strict conservative, unless possibly they can get a moderate of their choice as the VP.
A brokered convention would probably be an even worse crap shoot than the primaries. A lot more crap.
Having said all this, it's probably going to be either Newt or Mitt. IMHO sitting out this election is not an option because that's a vote for Hussein. Third party? Again, not an option because we'll end up with Mr 35% approval being reelected. Bottom line: Once we get a nominee we need to be solid, no brokered or split convention.
Another 4 years of the magic muslim and we won't have a country much less another election.
Fascist in the economic sense – where private property remains, but government dictates its usage – rather than the Nazi anti-Semitic / nationalist sense.)
They are fascist in every sense.
I spit on them.
I intend to be a deligate to the State Convention. Have been before.
I have a dog in the fight this time and would like to be a delegate to the national Convention.
A brokered Convention? Possible.
RINOs are fore warned.
We need a young Dick Cheney Clone.
“On the other side the Tea Party was going to make sure that for the first time in 30 years a conservative nominee would be the standard-bearer of the Republican Party. The platform would include radically smaller government, less intrusive government,......”
Glad to see this view open to discussion. Can’t speak for the Tea Party, but would guess their goals as enumerated haven’t changed. The attrition of conservative candidates before any primaries so far has not been encouraging, and I have to think the MSM and other manipulators of public opinion deserve considerable credit, and further, the slightly different approach of late in cheer leading for Newt suggests his attributes are judged the easier to defeat next November. A teflon coated (kevlar if you prefer) candidate coming to the fore at this time would be dread for the Democrat propaganda machine, which is incapable of anything positive to say on behalf of their ultimate candidate.
