Romney MUST Lose Michigan for Conservatives to Win. The fate of the GOP will soon be decided. (My Video)
(Excerpt) Read more at youtu.be ...
Mittens must lose here or he regains huge momentum.
Yes Mitt must lose.
However, how is a vote for Rick a vote for Newt when if Rick wins, he and his supporters, will be right back on their sanctimonious high horse about how such a win is “proof” that he is the true conservative blah blah blah?
I have every intent of voting for Santorum here in Michigan. It looks like a fair number of Gingrich supporters intend to do the same.
I hope my fellow Santorum supporters will do the same in states where Newt is strong in opposition to Romney.
Its time to team up, tie the dog to the roof of the car and send him to Canada.
Excellent post, excellent idea.
Dump Mitt! Then Newt and Rick can discuss the issues and let the Republicans decide.
Please ping to your Michigan ping list.
Defeating Romney, then Obama are the ONLY objectives now.
No mistake, I’m no fan of Newt but I do kind of like the idea of him as VP. A good bit of what a VP does is prod congress to action and he’s ideal at that.
What does this have to do with anything?
Do you want Mitt to lose, or are you more concerned about 'sanctimony' than political reality?
This is exactly what needs to happen!
(Strategy!)
“I hope my fellow Santorum supporters will do the same in states where Newt is strong in opposition to Romney.”
Amen Cripple - A-M-E-N.
As I said in the video, that’s exactly what I did here in Florida. I wanted to vote for Santorum. Being from Pittsburgh (moved to FL 16 years ago) I remembered how much I admired Rick as a teenager (he was first elected when I was just out of high school). Rick inspired me.
But when this primary came in Florida and I saw Rick was WAY behind in the Florida polls - I made that video “Stop the Romney Sleaze Machine” where I announced my vote for NEWT and urged my fellow conservative friends to do the same.
It was the only option because the soul of this party was more important than me getting my prefered candidate elected. Newt or Rick I will support in the general.
In states where Newt leads (like Georgia and others) we need to vote Newt.
I turned 18 right after President Reagan left office in 1988. I was too young to have the honor of voting for Reagan. NOT ONE TIME has the conservative Republican I supported in the primaries -EVER- won the nomination in my voting lifetime.
I believe we have finally figured out how to beat these liberal bastards who hi-jack our part every year: Conservative Team-Work.
Romney will easily take his campaign all the way to the Convention. The claim that we all need to get together and vote for Santorum, to later help Newt is a Trojan horse to defeat Newt. The subliminal message is that Santorum will gain ALL the momentum and Newt will fall even further. Which is your motive in the first place.
I refuse to support a candidate who is running on a complete facade as to who he truly is. Santorum is a religious zealot who legislates his ideology. He also spends the taxpayers money accordingly, as if he has been endowed by God to redistribute that money accordingly among the needy, or to support his religious agenda.
This is why religion and politics do not mix. Morality is important, but it should not dictate all other outcomes.
It’s interesting that the only “articles” you post are things you’ve written yourself.

I am afraid you are right.
Just for the heck of it, I did some reading up about Super Delegates in the GOP. We don’t have particular super delegates, but we do have 3 in almost every state that are usually party heads. In some of those states they have to commit to whoever is the winner of the primary of their state. However, there are states that those 3 delegates can commit to whimver they choose, so it just depends.
This would be another way to possibly put someone over the top.
“I have every intent of voting for Santorum here in Michigan. It looks like a fair number of Gingrich supporters intend to do the same.”
It appears that the electorate is far more sophisticated than the media and the establishment think they are. If republicans are able to had Romney a defeat in Michigan, it will be a major victory for conservatism. Romney is bleeding and needs to be pushed to third place. If he wins in Michigan and Arizona, he will claim to have regained his momentum.
We’ll see. Tuesday’s not too far away. Hopefully, Rick can hold the line and the lead until then!
Because I am not interested in tossing a vote to Santorum under the idea of beating Romney just so he can win Michigan, keep all the delegates, and then hear his sanctimonious peanut gallery demand Newt leave the race because “Rick won Michigan”.
“I hope voters are sophisticated enough to follow your advise. Judging from some of the personality cultists on this site I have my doubts.
Defeating Romney, then Obama are the ONLY objectives now.”
That’s a valid point. Fortunately, for this to work, we do not need a substantial number of voters to understand the strategy because we’re dealing with a few percentage points.
If only the cerebral conservatives who think these things through follow the strategy and vote for Santorum in states where he’s furthur up in the polls and conservatives vote for Newt where he is furthest up - that should make the difference.
The absolute key to this is spreading the word.
Because the momentum they think Santorum will gain will be unstoppable and Newt will have to drop out. It's Trojan Horse and they are obsessed with their insane premise that Santorum will transform this country into Heaven on Earth.
