My point is that the media want us to nominate a candidate who can’t beat Obama. It worked with McCain. They’ll pimp any RINO that we hate, but who appeals to “moderates.”
You got that right.
I understand your point and it is valid. You could be right but I see some distinctions worth pointing out in this case.
First of all Newt is not a RINO. He is a conservative who is wrong on some issues like global warming and has a few loose wires. So a one-dimensional label doesn’t fit him. He did a great job in 1994 and can still be of service to us in some capacity. His candidancy is going nowhere so I am not worried about him as he belongs nowhere near the WH. But what troubles me is whether this is a signal Palin won’t be running. He always said he would run if no one else steps up. Did he call Palin? If she doesn’t run I think we have a BIG problem.
I don’t think the media would support Romney because they think that will help us lose. Romney is not a stumbling embarrasing conservative they can make fun of. He is only second to Slick Willie in the BS department. He could probably sell me a car he is that good. He is a blow-dried RINO who could convince a lot of people who don’t follow this stuff and win if nominated. Media people love people who can BS because that’s all they do. So I don’t see them supporting him because they think he will lose.
Once we get through the initial primaries conservatives better get their act together and rally around someone and stop Romney. That is mission one. Mitt (and maybe the RNC establishment) thinks it’s his turn.
