In your scenario Santorum is probably the better choice. He’s the one that was beating or tying Romney and winning in both north and south.
Not saying I expect much but I could definitely continue to back him.
I’m not sure whether your bigotry or ignorance is more embarrassing?
Well make a choice man. Why are you embarrassed by me?
And Romney in the LDS
And Romney in the LDS
Ignorance or bigotry. Tough choice.
While I give you that Santorum is the more “pastoral” candidate, and was not wiped out like Newt, by Romney’s cash machine, neither of these two have the convention rules and numbers and ground game in place that even begins to compare with that of the Paul delegates (and his stealth delegates).
Ron Paul is measurably resisted by all of us rather equally. That is something to unify around. LOL! AND, he didn’t cave, suspend, or run off, or run up debt to be bought off by Romney like all the rest.
I believe we fall back into “my guy-your guy” arguments kills us and time is out. At this hour, there is only one left standing with guns. He has a name, he is relentless on fiscal policy and tyranny, and he is honest to a fault.
We are at a tipping point and, like him or not, we need a radical who can’t spell c-o-m-p-r-o-m-i-s-e, or intimidation, or buy off. The whole bunch of them have fallen out on that point.
“getting Obama again would be a form of wake-up call...maybe...for their foolishness and lack of principle.”
This is foolishness I’m talking about.... Tell me, please, when this strategy actually worked. In my entire life or my knowledge of 20th century, I have no knowledge of this strategy ever working, in fact it always backfires.
In this country we need majorities.... so let me point out the obvious:
1. America is Center-Right by nature, which is typical of most of the world. There is lots of history to back that up. (So extremes don’t work in elections)
2. If more Americans are put on the government dole (as will happen with another Obama term) these people will not vote themselves a pay cut, so we will go the way Europe flip-flopping forever into massive debt. (so waiting is dangerous)
3. Those who think our nominee isn’t good enough might as well just say they are ok with liberalism. Because in essence you are voting for it - if you throw it away or stay home.
So stop the crap and vote Obama out of office - use your “rebellion” to influence the people in office, or the nomination process. We vote against Obama.... period. To change the culture takes a lasting and vigilant “rebellion”, lots of small steps. 2008 was a step backwards, let’s not repeat that.
God gave us all a choice - and I really think his will is beyond election cycles.
I am not saying I won’t rise for ABR, so please hold that thought. I am just looking at the horse from hell already able to tip the convention/coronation. The others have no heart beat and are thrown in with the program. They couldn’t get an army together if they had to, because they haven’t.
I’m not a Mitt fan... but we gotta be voting for the person who has the best chance of getting Obama out of office. My guess is that Mitt will do what a conservative congress tells him.
Virgil looks like a good guy... I wonder why he didn’t show up in the primaries.
