This Sucks. I will have to root for Romney. The Republican party is split and the RATS are running 3 nightmares for this country. We are playing right into the Clinton plan.

This will finish off the Republican Party of yore. We now have two officially Leftist Parties as Conservatism is now either redefined, or is brushed off into oblivion with the Green Party, The Libertarian Party, The Constitution Party, and the like. THAT is what the importance of Duncan Hunter and Fred Thompson as candidates was all about.

The Left has won a battle that will leave America Vulnerable for a long time, or until that day the American electorate finally awakens to the fact they are losing everything at the hands of the Democrat/Liberal/Socialists.

I pray for a rapid awakening. Before the Left can totally destroy the basis of that which is America, and we all are beholden to the same benefactors as the Leftists have sold their souls, consequently ours as well.

Asshat did nothing but muddle field and take TV debate time away from the serious candidates. I will be scraping my FRED sticker off my car today.
