We’re actually in the unthinkable situation where we MUST stop the GOP nominee from winning to save the party. I feel like a character at the end of a ‘SAW’ movie with what’s unfolded here. The handwriting was on the wall the moment Fred finished 3rd in SC. We didn’t want to accept it and some transferred their hope to Mitt, but that was an empty vessel in which to place their desperate hope. Mitt is no better than the rest of the jokers who are running. But now, we’re in a position where the nominee is going to be so bad that the only choice is to actively work against him...it’s so sad, considering the pathetic lines of attack that they used against Fred.
He ‘just didn’t have the fire in the belly’, he ‘looked too old’, he didn’t wear a blue tie instead of a red tie. His suit was crooked. Those were the criticisms and this is what we ended up with.
I blame a lot of people, both in the conservative media and here at FR. A lot of people who tried and succeeded in tearing down Fred to benefit an inferior candidate like Romney, McCain, Huckabee. A number of the Hunter supporters deserve blame too. I blame Fred for a few mistakes too, but the lion’s share of the blame goes to guys like Hewitt, a few Freepers and even Rush and Sean. They all played this very badly and now the country will pay the price.
..and he cleared his throat too much and said “ah” and “um”.
Yes, McCain is soooo much better. **bleeech**
I understand why people feel the need to play defensive politics and support someone they, otherwise, wouldn’t. I’ve done it before. I’m just not up for it anymore.
The only way out of the mess we are in would have been to get a solid Conservative with the ability to garner just enough DUmmy support to win this year. That didn’t happen for us. It’s not going to happen.
Now, with the position we are in, our best option is to let the DUmmies have it and work to make sure it’s only a one term administration, that we have made our case to the public, and we are in position to capitalize in 2012. If we let a RINO in, everything he does will be on us, and we’ll take the hit for it, and it’ll be 20 years or more before we see the inside of the WH, without taking a tour.
That would be my strategy if I were the powers that be. If I had any real dirt on either the beast or the Kenyan guy, I’d hold it until it was more useful after they were elected.
This way we could lay the ground work for their demise. The beast’s trial in Cali., Jefferson’s trial, campaign irregularities, corruption, ties to shady business deals, etc. Oh yeah, it could be a fun and sweet 4 years.
But, like I said, we stand a snowball’s chance in hell of winning this year anyway.
