[Psalm 144]

I don’t dispute one thing you said, but I will extrapolate from it.

Romney reflects the general views of the Republican nomenklatura. Efforts to displace them -will- prove futile, as time has shown and WILL show resoundingly in 2016. Accordingly, if one will not support the individual Romney, WHY continue to support the hivemind Republican Party whose leadership consensus is indistinguishable from Romney?

[BlackElk]

We have to be schizophrenic. We need to grab as much of the GOP as we can from the GOP-E while punishing each and every instance of deviance from the ideological baseline. They have the $$$$. WE have the votes. Votes trump $$$$$. We also have to refine our smarts.

In many states, we may simultaneously organize and control third parties to nominate candidates to punish GOP-E with and to make the ruling class the former ruling class. That is what THEY have done to folks like Virginia's Ken Cuccinelli.

We can nominate a credible third party candidate and let the GOP-E greedheads know that that candidacy will only be withdrawn upon the nomination of a candidate WE find principled and trustworthy. Necessarily that can only take place AFTER the GOP convention.

Non-negotiables: Guns, judges, babies, marriage, military, hard foreign policy, substantial reduction of government programs and taxes.

May God bless you and yours!
