To me, Romney was not geared within to balance leadership while promoting conservatism. He would had been better than Obama though millions could not vote for him. That is a powerful message to the GOP-e. Will they listen?! I don’t know, Chris. Many in the beltway are running scared; that their majority is being taken away.. so they are running scared. They should not do that. They should be proud to defend the conservative roots of this country. I am not saying we need to move to lie/promise to groups for votes. We need to show other diverse groups conservatism. If they come over, great-if not, don’t move away from your convictions. This can be done/advance a cause without losing your core beliefs. We do need to advance into other neighborhoods that are not particularly fond of us. Not to give away promises but to advance the ideas that we cherish. It can be done with the right man or woman. We do not have a national leader. Many don’t like Newt for the marriage thing though promote life to God in forgiveness. I don’t get the double standard there. I just want Newt ( a person like him as a reformer) to move the country back on the right track. It looks very heartbreaking to what people in power are allowing to occur to America. We are such a wonderful nation and set up by the rule of law. How can people teach others to respect the law when they cast aside the laws themselves. The elected repubs should be making an inquiry for Obama’s impeachment, will that happen? One representative should begin this..vs. being more concerned about reelection/job security. ( Mitt’s not all to blame no doubt here) Take care, Chris.
I do agree with what you have said here. I just don’t know if anyone on our side is going to do any of this in a way that will be effective.
I like Newt a lot too, and that hasn’t always been the case, it took me a while to warm to him. I respect him, I think he has a good head on his shoulders, he’s a good spokesman, and I think that he is a conservative. He isn’t always right, none of us are, and even though I say he’s wrong here, I support him nonetheless. I’m glad he’s on our team.
I wish conservatives would stand strong too. Strong as mountains, old ones. I love this country. Always have. Watching this happen to her is breaking my soul. Perhaps this is the destiny of man, to consume his own freedom with the appetite of greed. I just don’t know.
Take care, Christie, God Bless.
