It’s people like you who have brought us these s***** candidates.
The GOP had annointed both Dole and McCain well in advance because these guys were the old guard, it was “their turn,” and that was that. Probably any one of the others, had they had that level of support, could have run and possibly even succeeded. You fail to mention that neither one of the GOP’s golden boys was elected.
Somebody gets nominated, but for once, couldn’t it be somebody who wasn’t (a) destined for failure (because the GOP really doesn’t think Romney can win, but heck, he can proabably pay for his own campaign) or (b) who would really offer a vision for which Americans could cast an honorable vote?

Well, the fix is in. Always has been and people refused to believe it and put all of their efforts in trying to change the GOP but the “real world” finally caught up to them.
We have wasted all of this effort up to this point in the naive belief that we had some input to the political process but the smart ones now know we have no representation at all.
What’s the difference in running a third party and voting for a party that only is there for the fat cats? It will never change because they BUY their elected posts through graft, corruption and downright illegal actions. Nothing is going to change other than the ever shrinking freedoms we have.
Until we keep all of our donations to the party away, they won’t even know we have been missed.
LOL, this site has gone absolutely bonkers! Tow the line! Get in step!
BTW, what IS the difference between a RINO and a Democrat? Enquiring minds want to know.
*************************
That the democrat is being more honest???
That’s my take...
Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
LOL! The Donald went from hero to zero around these here parts.
Honestly, who would be surprised? The Donald is a big money country club Republican. Romney seems like his logical choice.
Maybe this is a real white elephant gift to Romney. Whatever Newt (or Santorum) are, they are not plutocrats.
Well, Trump could have done the right thing and redeemed a lot of himself. But he did not.
This is still better (less bad, rather) than Trump trying to third-party it. And it underscores the class war going on in the GOP itself. I say there needs to be a redneck revolution and Newt with all his gaffes is still the best spearhead for it to be found.
Probably a phone call or two and Newt flat out said No I won’t kiss your ass! and that’s all Donny needed to hear, Well I’ll endorse ....
“I’m fed up with all of this crap to be honest now”
I think that’s what they wanted to achieve. They want to deflate the Tea party. Don’t let them take your initiative, your drive, your mojo. Become the AntiRomney Tea Party. Help create the AntiRomney zeitgeist...shout it out, write it out. “ Flaunt it!”
I thought it was...
“tossed about like a ship on the ocean”
I set a course for winds of fortune, but
I hear the voices say....
It’s got to be Ron Paul.
>Fox News is saying that Newt is PISSED OFF big time.
Could be pissed about something.... But the non Donny endorsement? oh come on, he’s laughing if anything.
Faux News: We Lie : You believe it
The GOP had annointed both Dole and McCain well in advance because these guys were the old guard, it was “their turn,” and that was that.
Here's the funny thing: in 1980, it was Reagan's "turn" and that was that. He was the guy who came in second last time.
You fail to mention that neither one of the GOP’s golden boys was elected.
Kind of hard to read what I wrote and say that I failed to mention that Dole and McCain lost. My point was that just about any Republican would have lost in 1996 or 2008. From that you conclude that I thought or said that Dole or McCain had won?
Probably any one of the others, had they had that level of support, could have run and possibly even succeeded.
So you would have been happy with Romney or Huckabee or Giuliani in 2008? Or do you think Keyes or Hunter or Tancredo could have won if the party had backed them? Seriously?
It might make some sense to nominate an ideological purist as a statement of principle, but pretending one could win is sheer self-deception.
Oh my.
” the GOP REALLY going to nominate a Massachusetts liberal? Still can’t believe it.”
McCain...remember him...yes, I believe it.
The GOP is still trying to triangulate when it could win a red meat victory.
Good point! Trump is a businessman first! if I was a multi-Billionaire businessman, I would copy his modus operndii.
