I am seriously starting to get depressed about this. Every Conservative worthy of the Oval Office is staying away from the race for it by a country mile. They know that they will be slandered, lied about, accused of racism, sexism and every other kind of ism there is. No one is left. This is EXACTLY how 0bama will win again, and then we are truly f$*&ed. I realize that there is no such thing as a perfect candidate, but with the media in this country you have to be one to make it through the gauntlet of their scrutiny. Unless, of course, you are the media’s candidate. We are ridiculed constantly for our beliefs, that we are some kind of backward neanderthals for believing that abortion is murder, but at the same time we are considered as making war on mothers and children because we wish to arm ourselves with more than rhetoric. Sorry for the downer of a post, its just how I feel about things right now.
I hear you. But, seriously consider Newt. While not the “Perfect” conservative, he is staunchly pro-life, has a track record of balanced budgets and passing agendas. We will need to make sure those are the right agendas.
But perhaps most importantly, in light of your post, Newt is a fighter who won’t take the media or liberal crap lying down. Maybe what we need most right now is a fighter.
