What job is that? Winning the November election?

Do you think Mitt Romney is a stronger Republican candidate against Obama than Jeb Bush?

The same Tea Party that put 2 million on the Mall in DC will need to be able to put the same numbers in Tampa in order to have any hope of any say in the convention

I do not support Romney in any way, shape or form. I know how I respond to the negative ads. The same way the majority of voters do. It is not constructive and just makes the person who puts them out look bad. They know how the voters respond. They are wise not to get hateful. They need to attack on policy. Not get personal.

Quite a difference, I would say.

Except it doesn’t work that way. By doing this all some conservatives are doing is marginalizing themselves.

All the GOP leaders care about is numbers, period end of story. The reason they keep going to the middle is because they are getting more numbers that way. Not voting will only push them further away.

Yes

Doesn't matter, he isn't running.

Yep, many forget that Hitler attacked conservatives and shored up leftist support to himself. ANd GOP-E within their own circle are finger wagging greedy dictators. They are so fake. They pride themselves and talk like trash at home and go to church with a big cordial smile. They only care about the same lack of liability that Utopians want to go after.

It’s one of the tougher states. A thoroughly rigged game, it is, state by state. But we’ll see.

“The same Tea Party that put 2 million on the Mall in DC will need to be able to put the same numbers in Tampa in order to have any hope of any say in the convention”

Do you think its possible to force a brokered convention? BTW, with the security they are planning it won’t be possible to get 2 million tea party members anywhere close to the convention.

I think we are going to have to stay at the flanks and let liberals and the GOP-E frack each other. But the GOP-E are wussies and are going to run tail between legs scared. Watch Romney let Obama get away with murder during debates. Romney is going to be ridiculed as someone who cannot move anything.

I’m pretty sure that’s been around for a few years. Pretty stark difference, that’s for sure.

The leaders have to go, they are the ones pushing to the moderates.

If we do nothing we get Romney.

Your statement that if we don’t back them the top goes more left to get more numbers, like it’s our fault that’s their reaction. That’s why they have to go as well.

Maybe they wouldn’t have to get close. That many people would cause the area to shut down.

Not violent......just standing there......2 million of ‘em.

If you don’t vote for him, you’re voting for Obama. Don’t kid yourself.

No. Unlike yourself, apparently, I don't support socialists.

Hey you were at Dans Bake Sale? You can’t be all bad then:) I took my kids with me on a 1000 mile ride to get there, probably the most decent people I have ever been around, at least until Rush left and the stupid femnist dropped their FLUSH RUSH banner off the top of the building. The best thing about it was the way the Thunderstorm stopped and the sun came out right at 12:00, when Rush came on the stage. And of course the Ft collins mounted police that couldn’t believe how well behaved we all were. Great memory, and Rush should have done more of them.

Sometimes there is no winning choice. Of what use is a Pyrrhic victory?

They can then have an alternative American Convention in the street...the numbers alone would dwarf the GOP-e ..and guarantee scads more coverage...
