Well done.

Whomever it was that told you conservatives aren’t in the majority hasn’t seen repeated polling that shows Americans identify themselves, in the main, as center-right. They’re concerned for their families and their well-being, they are concerned that runaway spending is selling them up the river, and they want to feel safe in their homes and the country generally.

The Republican Party refuses with all its being to cater to these people. Instead, they go along to get along, get invited to all the right parties, and ride the gravy train in the seats right behind the engineers in the Democrat Party.

Should Mutt Romney be elected President, we won’t get a chance to even try to nominate a conservative candidate until 2020 — at which time, the Republic may well be either destroyed or damaged beyond repair.

I’m not going to support that by voting for Romney simply because he has an “R” by his name. I’ll fight like hell for conservatives at every level of the downticket, but Mutt can take a long walk off a short dock.

Goldwater told conservatives to “grow up” in 1960 and back Nixon, and GHWB says the same this year for Romney. So we must “group up”, turn liberal and vote Romney. We just must. Goldwater later said Nixon was the “most dishonest man” he ever met, but our predecessors were commited to Nixon too.

Well done.  Thank you.

That's such an important point.   It's the answer for appealing to not only the public at large, it's also the key to appealing to minorities.  This is the bread and butter message.

Exactly.

Yep, 2020.  And if he has a beast of a vice-president, it will be hard going in 2020 too.

Bingo!
