At some point, we need to consider how we’re going to win.
Seriously.
Our nation is well and truly on the line. If we lose, there will be no nation which will save the world.
This is for all the marbles.
We have already knocked several very good candidates from the race, just by being “against” things.
It’s time for us now, to start planning to win.
Quite frankly, as Conservatives, our chances of winning flew right out the window when Sarah Palin called Mark Levin and told us that she's not running.
You are fighting a good fight here on FR, but FReepers here have decided that it's all or nothing.
It does no good to explain to them that our first objective is to remove Obama. Condi? Not good enough. Mitt? Not good enough. Newt? Not good enough. Perry? Not good enough.
Instead, people who regard themselves as conservatives need to realize that "Good Enough" equals an Obama replacement. President Good Enough will at least prevent Obama from the destruction he has started. We have to stop the bleeding before we can call the surgeon.
But freepers want to hold out for the perfect conservative, and in doing so, they will give Obama a free ride through 2016.
Do you think that Romney/Rice will repeal 0bamaCare?
Do you think they'll reduce the size of gubmint?
Do you think they'll secure the borders and deport the millions of border jumpers that are already here?
If you don't believe that they'll do any of the above (and if you do believe they'll do any of the above then you're fooling yourself) then precisely what do 'we win' with left of center establishment repubs in the Oval Office?
