“The Sunday Morning Bray”, by Bray!

But if anyone obeys his word, God’s LOVE is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 1 John 2:5

The Cornfields of Iowa and bussed in libertarians have spoken and they have clearly said they don’t like Romney. They also said that they do like social Conservatives who will stand up against abortion. What we have now is a race between the Country Club member against the tag team of Santorum and Gingrich. In less than 24 hours the election process became very clear and actually worked the way it is supposed to work in the end. Everybody’s strengths and weaknesses were revealed so we know exactly what we have, a NE Liberal, two Conservatives and a kook.

The big losers in this race were Bachman and Perry. Michelle just never got any traction and simply seemed like an ankle biter who blindly attacked people and then wanted people to take her seriously. She never really had a deep understanding or conviction of what conservatism stood for or the ability to articulate it. Speaking of not being able to articulate, Rick Perry was a great guy who is a conservative but his first impression was of another tongue tied Texan and was never able to reverse that.

Crazy Uncle Ron Pat Paulson has his kook following who will bounce with him wherever he goes but nobody can take his foreign policy seriously let alone his legalization of heroin had inflated numbers. When half of his support was people who applied to vote the day of the caucus tells you he is actually around Perry or lower in actual Repub support, we now see where we may be in actual votes. This election still has a real opportunity of having a solid conservative as the nominee for the first time since Reagan and that is exciting.

The story of the election of course was Rick Santorum. Here is a guy who everybody wanted to vote for because of his unwavering understanding of social conservatism as it relates to the fabric of this country. He not only speaks it but as we found out from his victory speech walks the walk having a handicapped child who was not supposed to live a year and is 3 already. Just like Palin he is hated viciously by the atheistic libs due to his fear of God, his willingness to speak the truth and his opposition to the sacrament of liberalism, abortion. He is the type of conservative they want to silence because he exposes them of their hatred of America and our way of life. This is why we need to support this brave voice.

Newt came out of this in better than expected standing considering Mitt and his PAC spent nearly $20 million in an attempt to destroy a fellow Repub. Never mind if you agree or like Newt, when we have another candidate running for the highest most distinguished office in the land and he is willing to lie and obscure a fellow warrior’s record it speaks more to the attacker’s character than the attacked. Mitt Rino is not worthy of the nomination and should either call off his German Shepards or withdraw although there is no chance of this power crazed egomaniac of ever doing that. How can you call yourself a fiscal conservative when you are willing to spend that kind of money and not gain a single vote? The guy spends money like a drunken Dem.

The other important point that was revealed from this election was that the polls and punditocracy have no clue who is going to win these elections. When you have Newt leading by 10 pts and Rick at 4 pts total and he ends up with 25% it tells you nobody is telling the pollsters what they are going to do. These pundiots are the most overpaid and corrupt people this side of the beltway with their pronouncements of floating tea leaves. They have no clue as to who is going to win election to election and haven’t since the introduction of the Tea Party yet they sit up there like great oracles with their all knowing attitudes. With the advent of caller ID the samples are pure garbage and so are the results. The one thing we do know however is nobody likes Romney as he is a very unlikeable individual and will not win the nomination for that reason.

If it comes down to character and the Christian Right then Rick will win this thing in the South. If it comes down to articulation of the Conservative movement than Newt will take off across the South and if the Country Club has their way it will be Romney. Mitt’s problem is the more they see him the less they like him and his smug demeanor. In addition, will there be some blowback on the fact he would aim his money machine at a fellow Conservative in the most vicious and mean attacks imaginable then he will end up a smoldering crater.

We need to see the Christians and the Tea Party to unify behind Rick and break this stranglehold on the Party. Most were supporting Newt reluctantly due to Cain leaving and was such a master in the debates. We knew he had a checkered past but the thought of him articulating our views overrode our distaste for his personal failings. Rick may not be the debater that Gingrich is but his family life is impeccable as well as his character and voting record. He is able to articulate conservatism very similarly to Paul Ryan but when it comes to Life, Marriage and Family he is at the top of the list. For this reason we need to rally behind him and actually have a conservative on the ticket who will give the Conservative America loving wing someone they can truly support. Let’s see what happens if the base doesn’t have to hold their noses so the Country Club can be happy. Let’s witness what happens if the base gets energized.

After all of the drama this election has had, in the end God was in control and miraculously chose the one most Christians wanted from the beginning but thought didn’t have a chance. Is he perfect, of course not; nobody is but we have not had this Conservative a candidate come out of Iowa since Robertson and with the landslide of Tea Party Conservatives last election he could bring shock and awe to the ruling elite of both parties. He is a man of the working class and now it really is the working class against the elite. Let the games begin.

Pray for America
