Hi Jim,
I couldn’t agree more. I think all here know I’m as anti-Romney as you or anyone else.
I like your suggestion but don’t you feel this really should have been sorted out prior to the SC vote? I mean Mitten’s lead in Florida is even higher than the other three put together (or almost the exact same). After SC that gap is sure to go HUGE.
With the MSM already picking our winner as they do every single election (Even the Dems’), it may be too late.
I favor Santorum over Newt at this juncture, but would be fine with either as a national candidate.
I don’t pretend to have anywhere even near the lifetime political activism experience that most folks on FR do. But Jim, honestly, after 15 years at it this way with the same ‘ol thing, we either have to accept we aren’t Republicans (meaning that WE are the “kooks” of our party, as we call the true socialists of the Dems), and that it just may be time to go, even if “going” doesn’t get us anywhere, or anything, put personal pride and conviction back.
Look, my degrees are in poly sci, I’m not naive. I know these things (our ideals) and ideologies and what not rising and making a real difference through establishment ranks starts at the extreme local level. I know we are working hard there. But really, is it worth all that work and time (talking 15-20 more years here, if we’re lucky) for that outside a chance?
Or, do you take your winnings (property) and go home (or make a new home?).
It is the same thing with casino gambling. You get lucky and win 10K, well, considering the math, this is now when you should play it all and keep playing as this is the time you have the best odds to make the most money (you are gambling with the houses money, already and if you play 5X craps then you are way in advantage). Or others say, you got your money, take it and go!
Thanks.
if the Conservatives get behind a Gingrich/Santorum ticket a good chunk of people now polling for Mittens will come over.. right now a huge chunk of Romney’s backers are only backing him because they don’t see anybody close and don’t want to hurt the Republican chances in November.. plus Gingrich gets to demolish Romney all over the country before the big ones in March.. it will be Reagan(Gingrich) vs GHW Bush(Romney)1980 all over again and we liked how that turned out
