F the “party insiders”.

It’s “WE THE PEOPLE” who elect our government reps. NOT party insiders.

Insiders must be idiots or they’re trying reverse psychology because you couldn’t find two more similar candidates. Even their candidacies are intermarried.

Time for the “insiders” to become “outsiders” and for mainstream Americans to run the GOP.

If by “insiders” they mean the GOP establishment elite then whatever. They don’t get to decide our nominee, the People will.

I don’t give a damn what these “insiders” think.

The insiders picked Romney the day they gave the 2008 nomination to McCain. It’s his turn.

Ya, but at least with Romney we’ll have a choice until we figure out which side of his mouth he’s talking.

“More than two-thirds of Republican Insiders say Mitt Romney has a better chance than Perry of defeating President Obama in 2012,”

This is how we got McCain.

And Romney said - thanks, I’ll be back to collect on that promise in 8 years (but probably 4).

It's hard data vs. "insider's wishful thinking:

Perry beating Obama in Florida (Magellan Data - Aug, 2011)

Perry only GOP candidate beating Obama. Up by three points (Rasmussen - Sept, 2011)
