CORRECT.
But it also tells all republican voters that Romney can’t win against Obama because he cannot rely on the south and liberal-lite cannot compete against real liberal Obama in the blue states.
First thing first, Newt has to get to brokered convention. If Romney get nominated by getting 51%, there is nothing to speculate or debate. Together Newt and Santorum have to stop Romney then go on to stop Obama.
Romney will not be able to beat Obama because they are both liberal and pro-same sex marriage. You want to beat an incumbent President, you have to present a vast and favorable contrast between you and your opponents. And if Romney gets elected, we just have Obama ideological twin in the Whitehouse.
Newt and Santorum need to attack Romney on the followings as there is no time to be a nice guy:
1. Romneycare is the same as Obamacare because Romney staff advised Obama how to draft healthcare bill.
2. Romney already said he would not repeal the individual mandate.
3. With Romney/Obamacare, individual liberty will be stripped away for federal agents will control your doctors and your health. They can deny your health services using red-tape or many reasons, similar to communist countries.
4. They will violate religious freedom or your conscience. One good example is the recent HHS mandate that all religious organizations have to have insurance policy which provides birth-control pills and arbortifacient pill or abortion pill RU-486. Failing to do so, each catholic hospital or employer will have to pay $2,500 per employee per year!
5. They will force death panel on frail and aging senior citizens. They will reduce Medicaid. Older citizens are deemed as useless by liberals.
6. They might fine you for having large families as Health Secretary Sebelius recently said we could save money and use the saving to provide birth-control pills due to the fact that there will be less babies born. Worse yet, one-child Chinese style family or world population control will be imposed on our society (Bachman).
7. Through out his past and current campaign, Romney shows that he can combatant and down right nasty, win-at-all-cost, a character which make one wonder about his virtues and moral.
8. Both Romney and Obama strongly favor homosexual lifestyle and same-sex “marriage” . Are you ready to witness your pastors or priests being sent to jail because they refuse to give the homosexual couple a service or Mass in church in front of your children? Same-ses lifestyle is accepted, morality of a society will break down.
Santorum and Newt should hammer on Romneycare/Obamacare and the consequence of the loss of freedom including religious freedom as being suggested by Russ today.
We need 3-way tie on delegates or denying Romney the 51% majority to force brokered convention at which Newt will get nomination locked up as he will shine like a star.
I hope Newt should not try to peel votes or delegates from Santorum or vice versa but to find the way to get it from Romney who must lose badly from the southern states as the rest , the eastern states mostly are more liberal therefore will go to Romney and these states have winner-take-all basis.
IF THEY CONTROL YOUR HEALTH, THEY CONTROL YOUR MIND AND YOUR SOUL!!!
