My feeling of distaste for Romney is because he has absolutely no conservative ideas, and aside from his current social conservative positions and the occasional thing he steals after Gingrich has said it, neither does Santorum. They are both comfortable with things exactly as they are and neither one of them would or could make any changes in the socialist welfare-nanny state that the US is becoming.
Gingrich is the only one who has any plans or even sees that there is a significant problem with our current course and that to continue in this direction would fundamentally remake the US into something that it was never meant to be, a Euro-socialist state where citizens exist for and at the whim of the state.
I hope Sarah Palin comes out and says something. The program they made about her was obviously an attempt to neutralize her before she even hit the scene, and I think that the reason she did not formally endorse Gingrich was because she knew it was coming out and wanted to see what kind of an effect it was going to have. Frankly, I think it will only be important to the people who already hated her, so I’m not sure it’s going to make a difference.
But we’ll see. Santorum and Romney have both ridiculed Gingrich for his ideas, just the way the Establishment pols ridiculed Palin for her ideas, and unfortunately, ridicule works when it is taken up by the press. Perhaps the real problem is that Americans have grown timid and don’t want any ideas; they’ve resigned their future and that of their children to this vast socialist mega-state that has been growing over the last decades and has gone into a major growth spurt under the Marxist Obama.
But here’s hoping that I’m underestimating the voters and maybe Sarah will appear and people will rally to the cause.
Sarah once said on Hannity that she had to be very careful about her public support for any candidate because she could hurt them as much as help them. My hope against hope is that is why she hasn't endorsed Newt. She sure has come closer and closer to it.
