Heck we even see this happening on Fr as soon as someone is presented as a potential candidate for Pres....everyone jumps on rips them down....

It’s not only the party...but the people who claim to be Republican and or Conservative .....they are never satisfied with whoever runs and cut our own throats.


Then we need to either give up or form a pact.

We can start with two who agree and go from there. We keep the arguments private and respectful.

If the GOP puts some RINO up, we don't talk ourselves into voting for him or her. We choose who we want, and approach them. Go from there. What say you?

Well first off giving up isn’t an option and should not be even mentioned as there’s enough negatives throughout the party without that hanging out there.

Additionally....how do we know we are even in a position to select a Presidential candidate ahead? I am completely convinced no matter what Romney was going to selected regardless .....and Santorum was thrown in to make sure that would happen. Are we going to see that again?????

Cruz is my choice at this point, if he runs...but be assured Ron Paul’s going to get in the fray as well.....and the Democrates would love to see Chris Christy run. So I can already see a replay of this last election....too many running and definately not enough support for the ones ‘WE’ otherwise wanted. And I didn’t include Palin as I accepeted long ago saying she would not desire to do so, though she can be greatly used in the ways she has many times expressed she wants.

Saying forming a “pact” is great...how???? I hvae my own ideas on that but others need to offer opinions. Whatever happens we need to narrow greatly to at most two we would support who choose to run...and most importantly debate it long before they actually leave the gate.

I can’t let that slide.

Good candidates will always win, lousy candidates will always lose big.

For example, look at Ronald Reagan and his vicious primaries against Ford and Bush. The GOP establishment did their best to destroy him and were just as vicious as the Dims, but Reagan won two landslide victories.

Now, let’s look at Mitt Trotsky. He didn’t lose because he had a tough primary. He lost because he sucked as a candidate. Even if you take out the voter fraud and disenfranchisement of active duty troops, Trotsky would have lost, because a lot of the base stayed home, since he was as exciting as damp cardboard.
