There, I said it!
Yup. At this rate all the liberals, Republican elites and progressives have to do is sit back and watch the cat fight. When the blood stops running, they’ll win.
BTTT
It’s looking like Gingrich or Santorum.
Santorum has good positions but comes off kind of punky.
Don’t count Perry out yet. I’d take any of the three.
But we do want to have a candidate with at least an actual CONSERVATIVE record and not an out and out liberal progressive RINO. So let's compare their records and their actual conservative accomplishments but not try to destroy them personally.
Word.
I agree with all you say, except Romney is still quite a bit better than Obama.
Well said. We conservatives don’t have to worry about the liberals taking us out, we will take ourselves out.
I’m sticking with Gingrich to the end. He’s the only one with the political experience, the longevity, and knowledge of the system to route out, and squash all the Leftist bug larvae infesting the corpse that is what’s left of our government today.
Renew America while we still have some of it.
Well said, Jim.

Absolutely. I've said that several times here. Every time we attack a fellow conservative, we're doing the work of the Obama 2012 campaign. Some of the rants here look like they could have come from DUmmies instead of FReepers. I cringe every time I see someone posting an article from some leftie blog that shoots more arrows at Republicans. So I agree that "Here's why my candidate is better" is far superior to "Here's why your candidate sucks."
You said it, in a nutshell.
If we can just get Newt in then the only way that he could be prevented from restoring a constitutional republic is impeachment...he has already indicated he will not be constrained by the courts.
At this late date we require a pissed-off bull in the china shop to fix this mess. I can see no other avenue of escape. Can you?
Food for thought from today’s Rasmussen poll nationally among likely GOP voters:
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum, coming off his photo finish with Mitt Romney in the Iowa caucuses, is now in second place among Republican voters in the race for the party’s 2012 presidential nomination.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, taken the night after the caucuses, shows Romney again in first place with support from 29% of Likely Republican Primary Voters, followed by Santorum with 21%.
Ping!
A lot of this is being orchestrated by the GOP establishment. They put out soundbites and tidbits trying to show how XYZ conservative has departed from the true faith in some case, and then they use this to dismantle the candidate in the eyes of conservatives. All the while, they don’t want you to notice that they are doing it to push through what would be the most liberal GOP Presidential nominee since Nixon.
I’m convinced that Newt Gingrich is the junkyard dog we need to rip Obama a new one and send him running back to his Chicago cesspool with his tail between his legs. Newt has DC experience, executive ability, and his silver tongue is razor sharp. He delivers his messages straight up and he can also be very witty. His work with American Solutions was very impressive in that he was able to spell out principles around which the vast majority of Americans agree. He also has plenty of practical ideas for making government work better for the taxpayers. Is Newt pure as the driven snow? No. Whatever Newt’s “baggage”, it’s miniscule compared to Obama’s load and Newt is 100% American. Newt is like Larry the Cable Guy: Send him to DC and he’ll “Git ‘er done”. Junkyard dogs are not show dogs, but they’ll save your bacon.
Sarah is my first choice but i’ll settle for santorum if I have to.
anyone else, I’ll stay home.
it might mean another 4 yrs of 0failure... if so, then the American people haven’t learned and deserve more ‘change’
I hope that we do not get so caught up in fighting about purism and the top of the ticket that we forget about the House and Senate. Particularly if we end up disappointed with the GOP candidate, WE-I mean CONSERVATIVES- have to control the Legislature. If we do not win the Whitehouse fight and the occupant is a liberal, either Obama or Romney, we must be in a position to make him squirm!!!!!! Primary RINOS and support conservatives!!!!
Truth. It does seem that a lot of Conservatives have been indirectly helping out Obama. Circular firing squads, personality attacks on candidates, astoundingly polarized dogmas that malign any candidate who is not X. Result - lots of bad taste in many mouths. This can even be seen on FR. Looking at Romney - he would have no chance against Conservatives (Iowa showed a 3:1 disadvantage for him), but for him to lose Conservatives need to stop being split. They have to agree on one candidate, based on issues, coalesce around that one candidate, knock Romney out, and then take the fight to the Dems. Right now the Dems are laughing at us ...derisively. We are doing their work for them. Let us have the last laugh.
