The idiots are the people that believe that the GOPe is on the side of America.

I would call that personal greed on the part of the GOPe and not hatred against the United States.

While neither is healthy for the nation there's a big difference between stuffing your pockets and intentionally driving this nation over the cliff with the goal of seeing us fall.

We've been led by the GOPe before and never got downgraded or watched another nation overtake our status as the world economic leader.

Neither is good. But one is far worse - so bad that our peak is now in the rear view mirrow. Question is: can we get back up and return to where were? I have my doubts. I can only hope.

I'm very upset with the GOPe because of the ratchet effect. As it stands right now, according to the media, Mitt Romney is a far-right extremist who hates poor people and does not want rich people to pay taxes.

If Romney is elected, he will mark a line as to how far to the Right an electable far-right extremist can go. The perceived wisdom is that any future Republicans will have to compromise a bit, be a bit more moderate, and shift a little to the Left of Romney in order to appeal to the American mainstream.

In the future, the GOPe will necessarily be Left of Romney. And that's why Romney is very bad news for Conservatives.

I disagree. The elites have pursued policies that have led to the military buying parts from the communists. They keep pushing to enslave real Americans by intentionally violating the Constitution and allowing an invasion of our land by the drug cartels. The only difference between the GOP elites and the Dems is one is socialist and the other is fascist. They are kissing cousins.

The gop/e helped to destroy us through the soft tyranny of incrementalism... we would never have come to the brink without the gop/e compromising and willingly accepting the socialist agenda... and the gop/e is a socialist cabal... you know it... I know it and the time has come for us to stop it. The convention is our last shot... but I will not vote for either of these monsters... both evil to their core. Hitler or Mussolini... different men... more in common than in difference.
