This all smells of a setup by the Party establishment and liberals to once and for all deal with the conservatives of the party.
If they win with Romney without substantial conservative support we are given even less positions and influence in the party and maybe out right asked to leave.
If Romney gets massacred it’s our fault and further punished by the establishment and liberals of the party. They do not care to lose the white house especially if they gain control of the senate and keep the house.
Either way this plays the conservatives and the republican party are approaching a reckoning.
ya....FReepers should take their ball and go home.
Neither Jesus Christ nor Ronald Reagan will be on the ballot in November, yet nobody here recognizes America’s first priority is getting Obama out of the White House.
I don't think so. The Conservatives NEED to get behind a single candidate before the primary begins. The Teaparty needs to hold a convention the YEAR BEFORE Primary season starts and nominate a SINGLE conservative candidate.
The establishment had 'their' candidate well ahead of time - conservatives need to play the same game - lesson learned.
No, Rick determined he efforts were destined to fall short and decided not to pursue further what is not to be.
Rick beat the odds to get as far as he did, and he went out with grace and integrity. Well done.
