I’m with Newt until Newt says he’s out.
In November I’ll vote for the GOP candidate against the O.
If that candidate is Romney, I’ll still vote against O. But we’ve really got our work cut out for us at that point. We will have to fight no doubt every day of the next 4 years to keep him from giving away the store, from essentially enacting half O’s agenda but doing it with a GOP logo on it.
Thats something that just kills us again and again, that even the most egregious Dem policies almost always have big-name Repubs voting for them, providing them cover.
I remember we were so glad to get rid of Clinton (and DNC attacks on Bush were so over the top) that it was difficult to hold GW’s feet to the fire. Thats the risk we run with Mitt. He’s a deal-maker. If we don’t go in prepared to fight from day one, he’ll reach across the aisle and we’ll find ourselves with O’s second term, just run more efficiently.
Another thing; if Mitt is really the best the GOP has to offer, I’m clearly in the wrong party, I’m ready for a new one. The FR Constitutionalists, maybe.
The GOP-e and the MSM will work overtime to demoralize the conservative base.
We must stick together and stand shoulder to shoulder.
