Bill mentioned a lunch bunch he meets with which included Charles Kruthammer.
What hit me was the following, as the Late Mark Scott Michigan Libertarian Talk Show host used to say Cui bono? Who Benefits?
Ah let us count who does...
* Santorum himself. As a Huckabee type spoiler which will give him greater gravitas and a bigger contract fee.
* His place after the election is assured as well as the cash flow as a TV or Radio talking head.
* As talking head, he will continue the us vs them game that all the talking heads do.
Now who else benefits...
* The ruling class and the Punditry Class, ergo the Bennett lunch bunch, they are at the trough and do not want the change, that Newt will bring, he and his change is too, "uncomfortable"...
* They must destroy Cain, Palin, and Newt to keep the game of musical chairs going.
* They must destroy us, Freepers, Tea Partiers once and for all and never reliquish the GOP to the likes of a Reagan again.
I am convinced even "our" talkers feel we are the great unwashed and are an embarrassment, they like when we give them victories for power, but other than that, they probably disdain or outright hate us. Let's face it I will not carry their water, No more donating or volunteering and maybe even voing against their incumbent weasels.
With that said, I fear a door is closing i.e us influencing the GOP/RNC.
If so it is over, we have no home. It is time for us to move on and find another party, better yet build our own.
I fear they will destroy Newt.
I read here more and more and I was one of the 1st to say so and took a lot of $H!+ for it, i.e. I cannot pull the lever for Romney, I will write in Palin, Goldwater, Reagan, somebody, I revile the man that much.
If it is Romney Obama wins, we adapt, innovate and overcome. Chances are "it" all falls apart, we find one another and rebuild from their. Maybe that is the destiny, and all we are doing has been futile in trying to try to stop it...
Damn Shame, Rick will have had a hand in it, and not a good one....
Rick Santorum on Palin and CPAC no-show
“I wouldn’t have turned it down,” Santorum said of Palin’s decision not to attend, “but I don’t live in Alaska, right, and I’m not the mother to all these kids, and I don’t have other responsibilities like she has.”
“I have a feeling that she has some demands on her time, and a lot of them have financial benefit attached to them,”

Palins reply...
“I will not call him the knuckle-dragging Neanderthal that perhaps others would want to call him. I’ll let his wife call him that.”
Uh, I think that is “...adapt, improvise, overcome.” But I hear what you are saying.
