I know it's been said a thousand times but it must be said again: "...the party on the left is now the party on the right..."
I used to think that too, until I've seen the past 6 years of Barack Hussein Obama (mmm mmm mmm). All it takes is another Democrat President with a Filibuster-proof Senate, and POOF!, in come to new Concentration Camps.
Remember, Germany used to think itself the most enlightened, educated, sophisticated country in the world prior to 1933.
Being Jewish and being “pro Israel” are not the same thing......
Bishop RomneyCARE DEMANDS to be KING
because his religious deity (HIMSELF)
deems it so.
Let mitt split the RINO vote.
Easier for a conservative (Cruz) to win.
Think about these two sentences.
If Ted Cruz is on his way to the nomination, romney will save the country from the conservative firebrand.
What kind of twisted, pretzel-like mindset must it take to write that contradiction in terms.
If Cruz is on his way to nomination, romney could piss up a wet rope in a down draft, and be more successful than stopping Cruz.
This race reminds me of 1976, when Jimmy Carter came out of nowhere to get the nomination. A lot of people didn’t want that to happen. First, there were murmuring of getting Ted Kennedy to run. The MA primary was very early that year, but stories on Chappaquiddick were being run frequently. He decided against running, though he would have accepted a draft if the convention were deadlocked (something that was thought to be more possible than it really was under the McGovern rules), after all, UNCOMMITTED won Iowa.
As Birch Bayh, Milton Shapp, Lloyd Bentsen and Fred Harris flamed out early, and Mo Udall, Scoop Jackson, George Wallace and Hubert Humphrey only picked up singletons here and there, Frank Church and Jerry Brown jumped in late, hoping to deny Carter a majority, and both won some states. Church and Brown definitely ate into each other’s base a bit. Udall nibbled from the left as well, and Jackson just ran out of money. Carter still won by a comfortable margin.
Lesson learned, that Pat Caddell figured out, was that in the revised system, early prep and momentum overcomes almost everything else. If Pat Buchanan in ‘96 were something other than a speech writer who couldn’t adjust to being a front runner, Dole would have been stopped. Even then, it took all the king’s horses, and the cooperation of second tier candidates like Phil Gramm to put the fire out.
This doesn’t make any sense. The only way a squish like Romney could derail a conservative juggernaut would be to finance one or more conservative opponents who could siphon off the consolodated conservative support.
“One of the many raps against Cruz is that, while he is the favorite of the conservative, tea party base, he lacks the ability to reach out to moderate Republicans, not to mention the vaunted independents whom all the experts believe are necessary to win the presidency. “

How did that strategy work out for you in 2008 AND 2012, Mittens and all of you GOP-e snobs?
Mitt needs to go buy some rope at the local hardware store and use it.
We must have an independent Conservative Primary that will choose the one conservative candidate to run in the GOP. Splitting the conservative vote is what gives us candidates like McCain and Romney. With a single, conservative candidate, not only will we unify conservatives, but we can focus conservative media (Rush, Hannity, Fox, and the interweb venues) on the success of a single candidate.
As I have said a bunch of times before, as far as the GOP-e and their multinational corporate overlords are concerned, the *only* two candidates who will be permitted are Jeb Bush and Mitt Romney.
As such, neither of these two men should even be considered. They are both losers, and are willing to sacrifice our nation for their corporate masters.
“The business of America is business.” - Calvin Coolidge
He was wrong. “The business of America is patriotic American business. Otherwise, to hell with them.”
I have thought of Romney as the “Destroyer” for quite a while, a cult leader in quest of revenge against a nation, culture, religion, a people, that his family has despised and resented, and felt persecuted by, and superior to, for 171 years.
Romney is anti-conservative, anti-Republican, even anti-American, or at least in the way and for the reasons that we like America.
Romney has an internal agenda that has been shaped by his family’s anti-American Mormon history, and by his own Mormonism as a leader in the religion. None of us know why he wants to be president, I think we all know that the Senate race and the governor term were merely to be a step to the Presidency, a perfunctory step to his destiny, and we don’t see any connection between him, and any destiny for America that could depend on him, at least that we want to know about.
Some of that unease that America feels with Mitt, is a sense that something is going on in there that isn’t good for us, something which we would not like, there is a faint, almost imperceptible sense of a darkness in Mitt Romney, a cold, total, absolute focus on his own internal purpose, which is unknowable to us and is separate from ours and our nations.

One of the many raps against Romney is that, while he is the favorite of the crony-communist RINOs, he lacks the ability to reach out to conservative Republicans, independents, Reagan Democrats, or any other pro-American voters, all of whom are necessary to win the presidency.
The backlash against these crony-communist RINO pricks is going to get ugly.
