Then Gingrich better get on the ball and begin campaigning in Nevada and New Hampshire and write off South Carolina so that the conservative vote doesn't get split. He might as well write off Iowa too since he's only managed to spend 11 of the past 44 days there.
Well, Hoodat.
When Romney has the nomination wrapped-up after Super Tuesday and Rick Santorum pulls in 8% of the delegates nationally, I am going to love to hear you explain whom we should vote for.
But hey, I’ve seen you a thousand times, in a thousand different incarnations, Hoodat. Those of us who actually want to make a difference always find ourselves going through this same losing scenario. And there always a thousand smug Hoodats telling us how justified they are.
Enjoy Mitt Romney, I’m staying home. For those folks who’ve been here for many years and know who I am, and how I have contributed to the GOP for many years, and the tree-and-branches organizations I’ve spear-headed to GOTV over the years, they
Come and take a look at the photos and letters of thanks on my office wall sometime. I’ve given blood and life to Conservative causes and the GOP, and I’ve been the guy G-ing-OTV until my feet give out on me. I have begged and pleaed with folks over the years to pull the party right but support the nominee.
If Romney gets the nomination - if the Establishment GOP wins ANOTHER nomination because of another malcontentious band of Hoodats and their five-percent national candidates - I quit. I cannot do this anymore, wasting my time fighting for Conservative causes and candidates only to always have Hoodats out there claiming nobody is ever good enough but the five-percenters.
It’s not worth it. I cannot fight to move the country right when no matter what reasonable possibility of moving the country right is within sight, it gets smacked down by Hoodats as not nearly good enough.
If Romney wins because of yet another Conservative vote-splitting and bull-headed ambition by five-percenters, I’m done. You can go back into your combine, pat yourself on the back, and start the drive for “Sheriff Joe for President 2016!” or Tom Tancredo, or Alan Keyes, or whomever. Meanwhile, watch your country crumble.
