Based on what Rush has said, it sounds like the Republican elite has written off beating Obama. They think he’s unbeatable. They want Romney because he’s perceived as a better fundraiser than Newt who can better support the House/Senate races. I don’t get the logic myself.
They don’t understand their base, that’s for sure. They think we’re going to vote Republican NO MATTER WHAT, so they have us and need to pick a candidate who pulls in moderates. The Tea Party needs to continue and teach them otherwise. If Romney is the nominee, we need to send them a message with a 3rd party campaign. Taking back the Republican party for perpetuity is more valuable than a neverending sting of far-left Democrats and center-left Republicans in the presidency.
Sometimes I think Rush wants Obama reelected so that he can have something to talk about. Mark Levin has stated that priority number 1 is voting out Obama. Period.
