This is not news, but realitly politics.
Politics is the only track this competition runs on, in the absence of more Novembers, like the results we had last year in the mid-terms.
Without more Tea Party mid-term wins, what can be expected of Newt?
We are not going to get any short cuts. We can not escape building a movement any more than the Marxists could escape building theirs. They just started earlier, while we were at the beach with our feet kicked up.
I say it starts with our plans for primary night. Will we give a large enough damn to show up at our precinct meetings and become delegates, or not?
Whining is no longer going to cut it, patriots, and its time to start looking around locally for leaders in our own communities who are articulate and persuasive enough to get a strategy in place, increase our numbers and our morale and rebuild the schools, churches and institutions that matter.
Agree with you. In the winter 2008, exasperated, I wrote Gov. Palin, and suggested that she announce that she would not seek re-election as Governor- but instead, start an enterprise instructing ground level constituencies on how to reform local government. She could have done this by CD, tele-communications, and video.
Probably didn’t make it through the millions of other suggestions— or was summarily rejected. -:)
But, did honestly believe she would have been the perfect person to organize the grassroots- which is, as you argue, has to be done.
Spot on, RitaOK. The GOP isn’t called the stupid party without good reasons either. Open primaries and beginning in the open primary caucus state of Iowa has once again given us a repeat of ‘08 with the same result, but at least McCain served in our military and ole Huckabee was said to be likeable with his down home charm and jokes.
