You’re right of course. The GOP caucus here was a mess with a lot of people given incorrect information. I believe that if we’d have had correct information out to everyone or had our old primary instead, Romney would not have won by the margin he did. However, he is a *westerner* in a lot of people’s minds and that counts for something here.
The fact that Ron Paul was second gives you some idea of the mindset here. No insults please :) Many people here want small federal government with the federals out of our business.
Hey, small gov’t is a *good* thing. If Ron Paul wasn’t such a nutter and believed in keeping America strong and safe (which includes closing our borders), he would have had my vote. Protecting this country from her enemies is the most important issue to me. Everything else runs a distant second. Troop withdrawal and destabilization of the middle east isn’t the way to do it.
I know this sounds melodramatic, but I am afraid we may be witnessing America’s downfall and I am sickened.
