I’m right with you on this, Darrell. This is no time for recriminations.
All conservatives have good reasons to oppose Gov.Romney. That should unite us in our efforts to deny the self-professed “Progressive” ex-governor the Republican candidacy.
As most well know, Progressive is just another name for socialist. To most of us that is flat-out unAmerican.
Let’s see what can be done to help the last remaining conservative in this race.
Help how? I’d like to, but see no path to relevancy, much less success.
Words said today are going to be remembered. We all need to choose them carefully.
I've been saying for several weeks that the only hope I can see of stopping Romney is for all the conservative candidates — Gingrich, Santorum, Perry, Cain, and possibly Bachmann — to stand up together and say, “No Romney, no way.”
Gingrich finally has his one-on-one race against Romney. Unfortunately he's out of money, several million dollars in debt, and has just a few weeks to figure out how to win (or at least perform reasonably well) in Pennsylvania.
Maybe Gingrich can win this thing. I don't see how, but then again, two decades ago I thought there was no chance of Gingrich succeeding at taking back the House of Representatives for the Republican Party and becoming Speaker. He's surprised me once and he may surprise me again.
I suspect tonight's meeting of my county's Republican club, most of whom are Santorum supporters with a few Romney backers, will be rather difficult. I know of only one significant Newt Gingrich supporter in our county, a well-respected city council member. I guess maybe I need to figure out how to convince everybody else to vote for him at our district and state convention as a Gingrich delegate.
To everybody else who is a Santorum or Gingrich supporter — listen to what I just said about what I need to do in my local area. This is going to be extremely hard work, and it's going to come down to persuading individual delegates in many cases. Find out who your delegates are, and if they've not been selected yet, get someone to put their names forward who you believe will vote against Romney. Be especially careful to find out who the Santorum delegates are; if Santorum releases them, they can vote for anyone, and it's not at all clear Gingrich will be their first choice.
This battle isn't over yet, but it's very close to the end.
As most well know, Progressive is just another name for socialist. To most of us that is flat-out unAmerican.
