Jim—I have no idea at this point how things will play out for any party except the demrat party.
Here’s my take on the Pubbie candidates:
Gingrich. You may trot out all the history you want. But it does not trump the Newty/Pelosi gobal warming love seat ad. Nor does it trump the “thousands of pages of dirt Gingrich’s pal Pelosi has on him. Gingrich is owned by the demrats. Surely you don’t believe wife 2 and 3 were the only bimbos he dallied with. Moreover, why should I put my trust in a guy who says he can’t explain why he did that “incredibly dumb” thing with Pelosi. What other potential dumb things will he not be able to explain as president. Finally, Gingrich is a card carrying member of the politically elite gang that ushered in—by what they did and did not do—the wonderful world of American Marxism. Isn’t it time to give some fresh conservative people a chance to fix our country? I go back to that list you provided demonstrating Newty’s conservatism. Not one bit of it changed anything did it? We have a Marxist in the WH.
Romney. It would seem he is the guy the GOP RINO leadership and its demrat Marxist handlers want to run on Pubbie the ticket. Can’t get traction, but he keeps hanging in there because Pubbie RINOs assure him he will be “The One”.
That leaves the conservative candidates Bachmann and Santorum. They will not be allowed to run on the Pubbie ticket under any circumstances. Everything and anything will be done to kill their candidicies.
What’s to make of all this? It appears to me the Marxist demrats are maneuvering for a situation where Onada will have no competition for the presidency. Remember I said Romney seems to be the preferered RINO. I think once Gingrich and the rest of them are gone they’ll find a way to eliminate Romney at the very last moment. This is the only way to insure The Usurping Marxist Onada “wins”.
Marxists love one candidate elections so long as the “candidate” is theirs.
That’s the long answer to your question. Short answer is that I will not vote for a RINO ever again. I will not vote for Gingrich for the reasons stated above plus one more: If Gingrich is the conservative you believe he is, the RINOs will not allow him to be on the ticket. That should be obvious.
I will support the candidacy of Bachmann or Santorum as long as one of them stays in the race. Haven’t decided which one yet.
I sincerely doubt the baggage they have on Gingrich will be fatal. That stuff’s been out there for years and is well known, but Gingrich is still soaring in the polls, especially among tea party and conservative Republicans. The ethics charges against him didn’t pan out for the dems. That was just a nasty (and losing) partisan political attack. his marriages aren’t going to matter in this age of Obama. Hopefully, he’ll be able to smooth over his global warming missteps. If they succeed in bringing him down, we’re soon running out of options. No way am I going to support Romney.
Bachmann, Santorum, Perry? So far no go. And Paul can KMA!
