I agree, LLS.
I agree with what you say, and here is another truth: In the pros, ORGANIZATIONS win, not players. Romney has the organization. You can’t really pinpoint when he started the 2012 campaign because he never really stopped the 2008 campaign. He’s been quietly going around the country for the past four years sewing up various local and state GOP organizations. Sure, there are Republicans out there who are supporting Newt, but Romney grasped the levers of the machinery.
That’s why a year ago I posted here that he would win the nomination. It is not what I want. I’ve already declared that I will not vote for him because when I go meet my maker, I want to be able to say: “I never voted for a socialist.”
But facts are facts.
One word on why Newt lost.....Debate. that is it period. No ifs ands or buts. Newt only won SC because of his debate performance and he lost FL because of his debate performance. There is nothing more or less to this. I mean it makes for good stories that everyone can slice and dice this win for Romney but it comes down to the debates and that is it. Everyone says money and commercials but that is not what lost it for Newt. That look of confusion and shock when Romney gave it back to Newt about his Franny-Freddie stock is the lone reason Newt lost. It is horrible and Newt was stuck and didn’t know what to do. His whining probably didn’t help either. One minute the debate was too quite and the next it was too loud. People don’t like complainers. He needs to stop that immediately.
You’re right.
The GOP in WA state isn’t conservative either. Heck, the T-Party in WA state isn’t conservative. The whole party seems to be made up of people with no real core values other than what benefits them.
Right now, in WA State, the GOP establishment is backing Romney big time. They have been backing him for the past two years, even invited him to speak at our state convention the year before last. It was a disaster and still they supported him.
Simple truth. This notion of always voting for the guy or gal with the (R) by the name has never guaranteed a conservative in office. Nowadays, backing a Republican isn't all that much different than backing the Democrat.
—Here is the truth that no one wants to hear... but the truth is the truth. The gop is NOT a conservative party and the majority of Floridians are in no way conservative... and the seniors only care about themselves and their gubmint check.—
That’s how I see it as well. Problem is, that is how I pretty much see the whole country. It’s why I believe there is no human solution to our debt crisis. When you rob Peter to pay Paul, Paul rarely complains, and when you get to a point where there are more Pauls than Peters, well, things will get “interesting”. Actually, they already are. But not near as interesting as they will be later this year.
