We've (mostly) all read the speech where a Czech politicans says the problem isn't Obama, the problem is an American electorate who would vote Obama into office.
While I agree, the problem is worse than that. A true conservative opposition could handle those problems.
The real problem is a Republican base who would nominate Romney in the belief that he was significantly different from Obama. That means even the "right" is part of the idiocracy.
Pray. That is all we can do. (But it may be enough.)
We also have to battle a liberal media, a liberal acedemia and a liberal dominated entertainment industry, all of which paints their version of reality for us.
The problem is expecting a party that nominates a conservative presidential nominee , once every 150 years , to be more conservative.
We are the Einstein definition of insanity.
Maybe in a few hundred years we will finally get it and have created a new 3rd party.
The way states and the way the state parties and the idiot media games this Rube Goldberg system, where we have a default nominee before two of the three largest states haven't picked delegates?
Believe it or not, there may even be a Voting Rights federal lawsuit in here. That mostly ridiculous law, plus more than one section of the Constitution, make it illegal to have your vote diluted because of where you live.
Living in North Carolina, I haven't had any say whatever in who the Party's nominee for president ends up being ever. It's in May.
The GOP establishment has no compelling interest in changing the process, and they work these open primaries and allow Democrats more of a say in who the nominee is than most Republican voters.
It's not the only problem, but it's a big one.
Wasn’t Romney a Democrat (or “Massachusetts independent”) until the 1990s?
There is infiltration into the GOP ranks by Democrats who are embarrassed by the likes of Nancy Pelosi, Maxine Waters, Sheila Jackson Lee, Ted Kennedy, et al but rather than go up against their OWN rotten ranks, they infiltrate the GOP as “RINOs” and abandon their old party to the “New Left” of 1968 terrorist radicalism and Communist sympathy.
The media is entirely onboard with the “New Left” as they were in 1968 when they played up the division within the DNC and Daley’s attempts to squash their lurch leftward (inside and outside the convention center).
Those who get their information from wikipedia, Hahvahd, and Time-Lies-CNN aren’t just uninformed, they are MISinformed.
Romney is an albinobama.
I do believe we are about to go into “the pressure cooker” and freedom will have to go into the “spore phase” as we simiply try to survive what is coming. Teach your children about it and perhaps one day liberty will once again take root but right now it is gone. With an impostor in the (formerly) White House and everything else I doubt anyone could make a serious argument against me. God Bless, all.
Molon Labe!
As much as this makes sense (and it does) I have to gently disagree with you here. The problem is that voter turnout is less than 18% average. This is the problem. Voter apathy. The libs, both democrat and republican, spend millions upon millions of dollars establishing and maintaining this apathy. If you do not vote, you do not have a right to bitch.
Wasn’t Ronald Reagan a democrat once?
FAR too negative Joe. Dont say “less than 18% voter turnout”. Think of it as “over 82% majority in favor of ‘screw them all’” :)

Personally, I think most folks — at least this election season — are voting based on fiscal pain. But whatever the motivation of the majority may be, Obama must go. I’ll vote for the town-drunk to get rid of Obama.
