I fear that the RINO establishment will execute a scorched earth policy, where they would destroy the party's chances in the general election rather than risk losing power. Their philosophy may be "Better to reign the GOP under Obama, than serve under Newt".

Could be, that's why I said it would be very interesting. This time though, I think conservatives, tea partiers, grass roots citizen activists in general (which are more active than ever in my lifetime) good republicans, and some independents, have them over a barrel. The GOP is now nothing without them. If they go scorched earth, something more powerful might rise from the ashes, and their cushy gig is up. They won't want that either. Quite the horns of a dilemma for them this time around. My hope is that they will choose wisely and take the horn that recognizes that control by the rino establishment is over, and get on board for what needs done to save our republic, and the GOP becomes a true conservative party.

Never forget that the RINO establishment has not earned the Stupid Party label without good reason. These august personages have never been bashful when it comes to snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The RINO establishment positively has a death wish.

I think this is make or break time for them — if they attempt to go scorched earth and side with the MSM and Donkeys — they will be cutting their political throats and be the equivalent of the Whigs. Or, they can choose self-preservation.

Are they smart enough to choose wisely? We will know if Newt takes FL and Mittens is sent to the oblivion he deserves. I personally think these morons will go kamikaze against a Newt nomination and against the will of the American people. The RINO establishment IS that stupid.
