If you look at the history of just about everyone you hurl these accusations at, you see a history of boosting that looks something like: Sarah Palin / Herman Cain / Allan West / Rick Perry / Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum in either order. All of whom have more conservative bents than Mitt Romney. Mitt Romney, very true, has a chicken side and it shows here. Mitt should stand to learn to say the U word: Unconstitutional. (If he’s the great Mormon Redeemer of America, as I’ve heard it told, he’s supposed to correct America’s straying from the Constitution. So it seems really weird that the LDS hasn’t briefed him on this issue.) Anyhow, Obama isn’t chicken, he’s doing this to be nervy. And also, what happened to the GOP non chickens? Demand for them was diluted to death in struggles among a herd of cats, in a typically underwhelming primary turnout.
1. Virulently hostile media.
2. Lies from Axelrod's Chicago whores.
3. Intelligent play by the RNC, who apparently got billionaires to lure one conservative candidate after another into the race, until there were too many.
One FR poster asserted, on what information I don't know, that plutocrat Foster Friess lured Rick Santorum into the race with promises of financial support -- and then dumped Santorum as soon as it became apparent that Newt Gingrich, which it was Friess's ascribed ambition to defeat, dropped out of the race. Then Friess dumped Santorum before a critical round of primaries -- because Friess and the rest of the Plutocracy wanted Romney to get the nomination all along. Thus posted our FRiend.
Gingrich and Santorum were both supported by one or two people -- Gingrich by Adelson. That isn't healthy; there isn't enough money anymore available from small contributors to sustain more than one challenger to the Plutocrats.
Another way of saying this is, the Plutocrats have successfully priced democracy out of Republican politics, and have deliberately deprived the People of any chance to select their own candidate.
The People no longer have any say in politics. The Communists own the Democratic Party, and the would-be Slavemasters of the Earth own the Republican.
