Who else was going to win the nomination? People like running their mouths but I don’t hear any names. If you wanted someone other than Romney to win, you should’ve busted your ass during the primaries.
That’s a good question. During the primary campaign season I looked across a downright marginal group of GOP candidates and realized that most of them were terribly flawed and likely unelectable.
Apparently the convention crap is standard behavior for the GOP-e according to Rush. Mr Limbaugh indicated this kind of infighting has been going on for decades — he wasn’t dismissive, but seemed interested in quelling any unnecessary outrage. I don’t know, the whole affair seemed pretty alarming to me.
We still need to win, so I guess this is just another annoyance along the way.
I would vote for Mitt Romney now just to get Paul Ryan elevated to a position that has been surprisingly useful for policy in recent years. The office of Vice President has had varying degrees of influence, mostly due to the personality of the individual who happens to hold that title.
And Paul Ryan, simply because he now has a national platform, can make policy statements that have to be considered seriously, which before, he would be relegated to the margins and trivialized by the national media. The new national debate is on, and the other side has no honest contribution to make. They are reduced to ad hominem attacks and distortions, repeated to the point of absurdity.
Both parties are the same at the top and it’s come to the point where you’d have to be pretty heavily deluded not to see it. Mutt is a liberal globalist but if you want to slow down the drive over the cliff by a few mph you’re in a position where you have to vote for him.
It’s quite a dilemma because how are things ever going to change unless something very drastic happens to the Rep party? When do you pull totally pull your support to send a strong message? Like the economy, I think it’s too late. They’ve got you where they want you and it’s only going to get worse.
