For all the ranting and raving about Romney being the nominee we must acknowlege that a majority of primary voters or caucus goers, who are more likely to be more politically active, voted for Romney. A keystone of democracy is that the majority prevails - we don't have to agree with the majority but we have to accede to the "wisdom of the people".

In economics there is the concept of sunk costs and most economists agree that those costs cannot be recovered but that the wisest course of action is to maximize the returns from those costs. Do we insure a better return by following a course of action that insures Obama is re-elected or is thrown out of office. I have never be a Romney supporter, but the stakes are much too high to allow Obama to completely destroy our country.

Hey, one eye...America is a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy.
If "a majority" said you can't own a gun are you simply going to turn it over like a good little sheep?
If "a majority" said you have to hand all you earn over to the government so that it can be redistributed as they see fit are you simply going to turn it over like a good little sheep?

I'm really looking forward to your reply.

I'm running into an awful lot of folks here tonight who evidently did not know that Democrats were joining Republicans in open primaries to nominate our candidates. Were you unaware of this?

On another related topic, were you also unaware that the GOPe had it's talking heads out bashing everyone but Romney the first four months of this year? They joined the DNCp in an effort to destroy the momentum of good people.

In light of these two problems do you still maintain that the public has just changed, and that it's no longer possible to nominate solid Conservatives?

It's my contention that we're being gamed. Fix these two problems, and lets see how things work. Until then we've got work to do. Job one is telling the GOPe that it is barely hanging on, and if it doesn't help us, we'll find someone who will.

Okay, let me run this by you.

Were we better off at the end of the Bush administration that we were at the start of it? Are we better off today, than we were in 1989? Are we anywhere close to being almost as well off as a party, as Conservatives, or as a nation? All I am saying is that what we have been doing IS NOT working. And now I am told we must continue to do what we have been doing.

That just doesn't compute for me anymore. I am not going to enable the GOPe to do this any longer.
