Your type of thinking is what got this country into this mess in the first place. Appealing to “fence sitters” is not the answer. Win with someone who represents your values, or let the rest of the country put in another marxist that can continue to wreck the country and eventually those who are sitting on the fence will understand exactly what and who is running this country into the ground. Rino’s only blur the picture as the overwhelming majority of voters do not closely follow politics.
I would guess that “Conservatives from Dallas”, or any large city, are likely about as “conservative” as Mitt Romney. Just an opinion, but usually that observation is fairly accurate.
It's time to stop letting the so called political elitists, whose opinion must be considered above all others, run the show. The privileged class is terrified of having such a commoner come to power as it instantly wrecks their entire foundation of what and who they are. Elitists on both sides are well aware of the threat Mrs. Palin poses to their positions in society, and they will stop at nothing to insure she does not get nominated in 2012. This attitude has been prevalent for over 2 years now and there has been little to no letup. That fact should make any who follow politics closely aware of the intense fear she causes in the “political class”.
