Bronze, I’d turn that same back to you. I agree completely we need to turn this country around. If by going down your path we elect someone in the primary that can’t win the general...did we turn the country around?
Sometimes folks here are so concerned with how “pure” the candidate is by the time they figure out they can’t win, we have a liberal for 2, 4 or 6 more years. See Harry Reid...just about anyone on the planet could have beaten him, but we nominated the most “pure” candidate and he’s still in power.
That’s what I’m talking about. Of course Palin, or Bachmann can win the nomination, but if putting them against Obama means he dazzles the sheeple in this country to win another 4 years, I don’t want it. I want someone to BEAT Obama, and if that means I have to put my vote down for someone that is slightly less conservative as a tradeoff to beat Obama, then that’s what I have to do. It’s about winning...isn’t it? It’s about stopping the insane change...isn’t it? You can’t do that unless you win the election.
I voted for Reagan in 1980. They said the EXACT same thing about him! So, I don't buy that premise. It's cheap, and a cop-out! I will be BLUNT about it, as much as I believe in the Constitution of this country. I say VOTE for the person who you feel is best to "lead" this country out of this mess - not who you think is going to "win" an election. Be it, Bachmann, Romney, Pawlenty, or whoever. We need to people (voters) with some BELIEF system behind them, not just a RACE-HORSE bet behind them.
