That’s what they all say! :-)
Cain is a dead letter as I have been telling people for months. Amateurs cannot win the top job no matter how many desperate “conservatives” are conned by them.
Palin is not running and is more of a populist than a conservative which doesn’t stop her from being my favorite but forget it. She is certainly no more popular than one of her favorites who you hate, Perry.
Santorum has no chance at all although he would be the one I would like best among those still around. Those who lose their Senate seats don’t win nominations for the presidency.
Bachmann also has no chance though I would like to see her on the ticket with Newt. It is almost impossible for a House member to win the Presidency. I think only John Quincey Adams has and that was a Congressional decision.
You don’t have a realistic understanding of what a conservative can do given the People’s love of government and do not claim that is not so since election after election shows that it is so. If we had a conservative electorate then more conservative candidates would have a chance but we don’t and they don’t. So pretending that we can get the more conservatives to the winners circle is just dreaming.
When the vast majority of the GOP agrees more with the candidates you disdain than they do you perhaps a different word than “RINO” is needed. I suspect you loathe all or almost all real Republicans who run in and win elections.
Extremist rhetoric rarely produces any enlightenment as your silly blast demonstrates.
What you consider “principles” is mere escapism incapable of facing the realities we face. It is a sell out basically and can help elect no one except Democrats. Fortunately those I call “Lovers of Losers” can call for the election of people less than one percent of the voters will vote for and feel they have really accomplished something. Much like the Occupy people they have no real impact or alternatives and do nothing but make themselves look silly.
