If you listen to Rush Limbaugh he has been arguing the point that the Elites Within the Republican Party (The EWRPs) are convinced that Romney will do a better of job of pulling in Senate and House winners than Newt.
I believe that Rush actually believes that the elites are thinking this way. But I'm at a loss to understand what makes them think so. Mushy headed liberals demotivate the base and true conservatives bring out the troops on election day. That's a big plus for Gingrich. That can't be it.
What else is left but those holy "Independents". Do the GOP Elites really think that those "Independents" will be so turned off by Newt that they will pull the D lever in the House and Senate races. I guess that is what they are thinking.
Oh yes, one other strong possibility: The GOP masters like being the minority so they don't have to take any responsibility for the mess we are in.
They should read the exit polls for SC and, when they are available, the FL exit polls. In SC Newt won in ever demographic category except $200,000 income level types against the RINO. Take that you EWRPs.
First and foremost, they HATE conservatives as much as the Donkey socialists/Marxists do. They do not hate Donkeys; they want to be buddies with them and get invited to swank DC parties, go to posh restaurants and clubs, go golfing with their buddies at the best country clubs. They want the Mainstream Media to write nice things — flattering things -- about them (see media whore Juan McPain). To appear "fair and balanced" they cultivate and maintain the myth of the need to appeal to the "moderates" and "independent" voters. This is a smokescreen to cover their real agenda. Above all, they want to spend the taxpayer's swag and rule over us.
The Stupid Party elites are terrified of the TEA Party and conservatives because they aren't about the political status quo; they want to break it and end it. We are the pissed off people of the United States of America and we are going to take our country back from the likes of you [RINO Establishment], the Donkeys, and the Mainstream Media enablers of this crap.
Maybe Romney bought their support. For example, if he gets the nomination, then he will give them a bunch of money for their Senate and House races.
After Rove went ballistic on Christine, I heard on one of the news shows where that was the deal with her opponent (forget his name), they had some big election campaign that they had planned with him bankrolling it.
