Good points.

The more I read from Santorum supporters the more I think they want social changes but no big changes in the underlying system that is the cause of everything going down the tubes.

A lot of people who back Lawyer Ricky and Bishop Romney seem to think that a little nudge here and a minor tweak there is going to get things back on the right track. Unfortunately for such folks, we're way beyond the point that we can make little changes and watch things straighten out over time. We're already over the cliff and falling fast.

All that we can really do is elect someone who knows that we need an airbag to survive the impact and major changes that clearly show the world that we've turned the corner and won't go back to business as usual. If the world sees us actually headed toward energy independence and going back to the policies that worked so well for Reagan and Gingrich in the past, we can have things in pretty fair shape within a decade.

Every year people waste tweaking the existing mess probably adds two or three years to the length of time it'll take to get over seventy years of fascist democrat control of Congress "We The People" voted for all these years.

JMHO

Actually, so far as I can tell, most Santorum supporters want to stop Romney, and realize that GIngrich can’t do it, given that Gingrich stopped winning anything after his only win outside his home state, in South Carolina, back in january.

That we are still even talking about the possibility of Newt Gingrich as winning the nomination, when he can’t win a single state and hasn’t beat Santorum anywhere except Georgia since the Nevada caucus, is rediculous.

Most freepers were ready to support Newt Gingrich when it looked like he could win. When he imploded (cue the “it’s not his fault he can’t win, Romney has too much money” crowd), we needed another candidate — because you can’t force the general population to vote for the candidate YOU like just because you think that’s the right thing to do.

I’m not telling people to stop supporting Gingrich — people should vote their conscience, and for those who are at the point where it’s not important anymore who wins the nomination, just that they personally vote for the guy they think is the best, Newt is still a valid choice.
