The South Carolina Message:
Myth Rino sleeps with the fishes!
-——and the pro-Obama media-——
The Messiah has lost already.
The MSM presstitutes will make the difference and a campaign.
This is the week I have been predicting the seven gray heads will go to the white house to deliver the message........ end the campaign for the good of the party, for the future of the chilrun.
—Moreover, he is just the kind of candidate that the Republican establishment has preferred for years: a nice, bland, moderate who offends nobody. —
I started saying, with the 2000 election that politicians are like beer: Really good beer is loved by those who appreciate it, but because it will have a strong flavor, it is not appreciated by “the masses”. That’s why you sell more Coors or Bud than Newcastle Nut Brown Ale, Alaskan Amber, or BBC Star Stout, or Goose Island, or Mac & Jack.
So every four years we get to choose between Bud and Coors for the “best” beer, because they are bland enough to not offend too many people. Meanwhile, the Mac & Jack, Alaskan Amber, etc. are loved by their followers, while never reaching real market saturation.
Is this a gamble? The painful reality is that everyone in this year's field of Republican candidates is a gamble. And re-electing Barack Obama is an even bigger gamble.
Whichever candidate the Republican voters finally choose from this year's field, they are bound to have reservations, if not fears. Gingrich's worst could be worse than Romney's worst, both as a candidate and as a president. But Gingrich's best is much better than Romney's best.
Sometimes caution can be carried to the point where it is dangerous. When the Super Bowl is on the line, you don't go with the quarterback who is least likely to throw an interception. You go with the one most likely to throw a touchdown pass.
All of that is just dead-on, and it even applies to Romney. As bad as Romney could be, he's not going to be worse than Obama, and the mere fact that he depends on the GOP for support would push him further to the right that Obama.
But the overall point is right -- Gingrich has a slugger's chance of beating Obama, and that might be the best we're going to get.
BINGO!!!
—When the Super Bowl is on the line, you don’t go with the quarterback who is least likely to throw an interception. You go with the one most likely to throw a touchdown pass. —
That one sentence sums up the whole thing.
It is along the lines of what Brian Tracy teaches: People are motivated by two things - fear of failure and desire for success. The winners are the ones that allow the latter to overrule the former.
Dr. Sowell is right again. Mitt will not score any touchdowns, and he’s trying to kneecap his competition for the starting job.
Methinks Dr Sowell is on to something... And with the folks in talk radio, like Hugh Hewitt who uses trained lawyer-spin to cast doubts on Newt. Hewitt is in such a cocoon, that he has NO IDEA how to be anti-Newt, and come across as not being in full spin mode.
“...a nice, bland, moderate who offends nobody.”
I don’t want someone who will offend nobody. I want someone who will kick butt and take names.
BTTT
If only we could elect a true decent genius like Sowell. Oh, yeah, he can’t debate because he has a speech impediment. Hate the focus on that auperficial crap. Let him debate Obama with a keyboard. He’d slaughter him.
For conservatives, this is Newt’s to lose... But hang on to Santy because Newt just might blow it.
Are you serious?
To do so would be to admit that 2008 was a big freakin' mistake.
Who are these "gray heads" who will admit that?
Does anybody (D or R) really think that O'bama really gives a flying fickle finger about the "good of the party" ?
Or the "good of the children" either?
Exactly!
Good one, but all of Dr. Sowell articles are. Thanks for the ping jaz.
-——Who are these “gray heads” who will admit that?-——
Pat Caddel is one. He has buddies of a like mind.
I see him on Cavuto and he is very unhappy and not at all afraid to be quite vocal
I left out it needs to be soon and that I might actually be wrong
“When the Super Bowl is on the line, you don’t go with the quarterback who is least likely to throw an interception. You go with the one most likely to throw a touchdown pass.”
That’s a really good line. Campaign ad good.
The Hillary Moment-
President Obama can't win by running a constructive campaign, and he won't be able to govern if he does win a second term.
Obama simply ignores them. They're pollsters.
Caddell worked for Carter. Schoen worked for Clinton. They're has-beens. They sit on the outside of the Democratic Party, looking in.
