It won’t matter. Remember, GA Jimmy lost a lot of primaries after winning in PA. It made no difference; people wanted GA Jimmy. Republican “moderates”, many of whom are afraid of their own shadows, are still in charge and have been since time immemorial.
This was also said of Eisenhower in 1952, Nixon in 1960, Ford in 1976, GHWB in 1992, Dole in 1996, and McPain in 2008. It never stops. They are all establishment because that's what voters who bother to come to the polls want. The opposition is too little, too late, too disorganized, too fragmented.
To repeat:
I do not like Mittens on the sheet.
I think his brains are concrete.
I will not vote for him, he’s left and right
Mainly because he’s just not bright.
I will not vote for the vapid hack
I do not care if he’s got a Cadillac.
No fan I am of that RINO pile
He’ll change three times if you wait a while.
If I want someone without merit,
I’ll simply vote for the Muslim ferret.
Yet he keeps getting votes! Go figure.
Thank you for this insightful analysis, mt.
The GOP is in serious trouble and doesn’t seem to realize it.
Right now, they don’t give a rat’s arse about Conservatives...The only way to get their attention is for the nominee to lose to Bamster...and even then, they might not get it.
Their coffers need to dry up.
No contributions to the RNC...period.
Money is not one of the things the GOP-E cares about. It’s the only thing.
An Internet friend responded to my recent email re. Romney’s past tilts to portside by observing that we have no choice but to support him if he is the nominee. While I want Obozo to go away ASAP, as of this writing, it’s not looking all that good.
My somewhat expanded reply follows.
The Obama smear machine will tear Romney to shreds. Here’s the narrative:
MR’s past and current positions are similar/identical to mine. You gonna vote for a rich, white pubbie over the first black president? A rich, white pubbie who was born with a mouth full of silver spoons who makes snap bets for 10K on TV and tells unemployed workers that his wife drives “...several Cadillacs...”? You gonna vote to send me away after I hiked your welfare benes? (Almost 50% of Americans are receiving those benes.) And the Dem’s will make sure ALL those supporters will get to the polls and, along with millions of illegals and the departed, vote early and often. (It’s the Chicago Way.)
And because the choice is between Obozo and Obozo Lite, a lot of the less committed and uninformed otherwise conservative voters may sit it out.
We need a clear CHOICE. We don’t need the establishment GOP favorite shoved down our throats by the same Beltway jerks who, according to Palin, REFUSED to allow her to expose Obozo’s marxist past in ‘08. That situation is but more evidence of the truth of some gallows humor popular with fellow cynics that the Dems want socialism NOW while the pubbies are content to wait a few days. The bad news from ‘08 is that the GOP establishment has become impatient.
With the MSM covering for Obozo again and the bulk of the electorate either ignorant of or supporting the dismantling of this nation, we’ve got trouble right here in River City.
I’m not sure this fight can be won — or even worth the effort. It now seems that fight will almost certainly move to a new and more “kinetic” level. This WILL get ugly.
All that said, I and many of those I know will NOT allow these treasonous criminals to steal the birthright so many others died to defend.
I guess we’ll see you at the polls. If that fails, it’s on to the barricades (figurative or literal) to carry on the fight the other side started.
“To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds, For the ashes of his fathers, And the temples of his Gods,”
