Tell me who the Republican Establishment Supports (vanity)

I am fed up with the RINO leaders of the Republican Party.

You know who you are.

Just tell me who you want to be the Republican Flag bearer. The one you want to fall with the flag. Let me know.

I want to know so I can vote for someone else. Is it Romney? That almost seems to be the only guy you have left.

I am not a Newt fan. He has made some bad mistakes. I don't think he is as brilliant as some say. Yeah, he has his sexual misconducts. I hate that. I have stayed true to my wife for 20 years - through thick and thin. Why couldn't he????

Even with his relational perversions, I know you establishment guys still hate him. Why? He might just win?

I know you also hate Paul, but Paul is an international wack job. He might get my vote to tick you off. Bachman? I like her, but she was really wacky attacking Perry. Perry? Bless him, but his illegal immigrant stance is too much like you freaking establishment RINOS! Santorum, Rick, you baby. You shouldn't have whined about not getting time in the early debates. You would probably be in the lead right now.

Ok. That is my rant. Establishment GOP, between Newt, Santorum or Bachman, please rate which one you don't won't most as an actual president.

I think any of those 3 can beat Obama in a landslide -I am not sure that Romney or Paul would - so I am sure you want either of those, because you don't really want a Republican to win - but tell me which one of the 3 you fear most.

Newt Gringrich allied himself with Ronald Reagan to build the Reagan Coalition, the Religious Right, and the Republican majority (together the Reagan Revolution) which directly led the downfall of the Soviet Union, the Contract with America, government reforms, less government, tax cuts, a balanced budget, and the great, long-standing Reagan economy.

Under a Republican president, they [the Republican Congress] added over $3 trillion to the federal deficit, shunned conservative policy in favor of Beltway influence-peddling, and so damaged the GOP brand that we...lost the majority Gingrich had worked years to forge,..How much should I really care that Newt’s fabulous colleagues think his reemergence would be a disaster for Republicans? Lest these characters forget,...2010 was not a merit promotion; they [the Republicans] were the only alternative in town.

We need a genuine leader to take us out of this mess and I believe Newt Gingrich has that capacity for leadership, something Romney has NEVER demonstrated. Newt is not a perfect person, but who is?

Herman Cain withdrawl?

You really think this moron Romney plans to cut govt spending?
If so, U B a fool.

And if the thin years outnumbered the thick years would you honor your oath you made to your wife and God?

Of, if it did not selfishly suit you, would you quit and run?

If I'm The Newt I would and did.

So there is no chance in HELL I'm going to put him in a position to SHIT on me.

Once upon a time this whole "Republican Establishment" thing made sense. There was a reality behind it.

Read Theodore White's Making of the President books from the 1960s on what he called the "perfumed Stockade."

Those days are long gone. Nowadays the old Republican establishment is dead or dying or long since gone Democrat.

The establishment is just somebody who's been in Washington longer than you have.

And if you haven't been in Washington at all, then everybody in politics is the Establishment.

Once upon a time, New York ran the country and people outside the East Coast could be envious or resentful.

Now, when your Establishment Republicans or RINOs come from South Carolina or Utah or Arizona or Nebraska, it's pretty clear that the old days when talk of the Establishment had meaning are long since over.
