I think there's a good chance Newt is toast and Ron Paul remains a moonbat. Not voting against Obama means four more years of wherever's left of America.

In war you don't always get the choice you want - you have to choose the least worst alternative. If we rigidly demand our way or the highway in a least-worst-choice scenario, well, we lose the war.

I'll add to that my comments about the GOP:

I wonder how long the GOP has been a soft Liberal party. I believe Reagan stole the party back from the Liberals ("moderates") in 1980. Eisenhower allowed taxes and government to grow crazily in the 50's. How far back do you have to go? I think sometime in the late 1800's/early 1900's, America found itself without a political party that would put America and its Christian, traditional values first. I think ever since then the GOP has put its own interests and political perpetuation ahead of what's best for America.

The country has withstood an amazingly long period of time without sustained organizational and institutional support. May God Himself continue to bless and uphold America against her enemies, within and without, until He returns for His own.

That's certainly true if you let the media lead you around by the nose. Myself, I could care less what a biased media has to say. But then, I have a backbone.

Perhaps it always was, and veering to the right was the aberration? Look at the heavyhanded Federalism present from the very beginning.

Dixicrats, with all their racist baggage but with all their inherent traditionalism, conservatism and preference for small, unobtrusive government, are what ultimately gave us a conservative Republican Party, beginning to build with Nixon in 68 and culminating with Reagan. It's been downhill since.

Southern evangelicals are derided now. It's code for former Dixiecrat. The party is returning to its roots.
