... when lamenting our election choices, what are we really complaining about?

Our fellow man.

Bingo!

Every time you hear a commentator or a politician complaining about "Washington" know that these people are giving the electorate what it wants. If the country has $14 trillion worth of debt to pay for Social Security and Medicare it is because any politician who denied the electorate these entitlements while telling them the truth about the debt would be out of office. If the truth were otherwise Ron Paul would have been a president long ago.

Now that the reckoning is upon us we will continue to deceive ourselves and say that we are in this mess because of politicians. We will have Republicans blaming Democrats and liberals while conservatives blame rinos. The author has it right, in the long run you must win the cultural war to win the elections. He might have added that in the long run you cannot win the cultural war if you lose the demographics war. This is undoubtedly why the author wants to stop immigration altogether.

The problem is not in the stars but in ourselves.

Our fellow WOMEN.

Bingo!

Every time you hear a commentator or a politician complaining about “Washington” know that these people are giving the WOMEN electorate what it wants. If the country has $14 trillion worth of debt to pay for Social Security and Medicare it is because any politician who denied the WOMEN electorate these entitlements while telling them the truth about the debt would be out of office...”

One tiny little fact that needs recognition here.

In my humble opinion, a Romney nomination will guarantee a strong 3rd party and a Dem win. (and the death of the Republican Party)

Very very bad choice.

I would rather Rick Perry stay Governor of Texas. But, I am not anti-Rick. He is NOT a LIB. He never has been.

The best outcome could be a strong non-DC candidate selected at the Convention. It could happen.

I cannot and will not vote for Romney.....For anything, ever.

We have met the enemy ... and he is us.

When you examine the political sensibilities of the 129 million votes cast for POTUS (yea, on the Dem side some have voted more than once and some dead miraculously continue to vote), you can see how a Juan McQueeg wins a GOP primary. There is plenty of time to filter out the field but we do need to get some momentum building for the ABR conservative candidate.
