What I think is so cool is that Newt is engineering a standoff at the convention, a showdown with the powers that be. I still don't understand the dynamics, whether that is a plus or negative, but IT'S ABOUT TIME.
A Freeper posted this yesterday, and it is really hardhitting and reality stark, and probably accurate, but God bless Newt for trying, and I bet he has something up his sleeve. She's very attractive and loves to kick around the big shots :)
"First ballots don't solve anything so the delegates are released to pick Newt, Palin, Rubio whatever...right? Wrong! The GOP-e will be making the rules as they go along and like 1976, they will anoint Romney just like they did Gerald Ford over Ronald Reagan. They have too much invested in Mendacious Mitt to let a silly conservative majority stand in their way. Why do you think super RINO of color Michael Steele is so looking forward to a brokered convention—he and the GOP-e know the plan and they are laughing at their useful idiot from Georgia." (end of FR post excerpt)
I have put in for vacation time for the week of the convention. I hate most political stuff, but I want to see this up close.
At first I thought the GOP didn't get the message in 2010. Now I believe that they did and the message they got was that their establishment empire, though subservient to the Democrats, was being challenged by conservatism. The control of the GOP is their goal, not saving the nation.
“..he and the GOP-e know the plan and they are laughing at their useful idiot from Georgia.”
So, let them laugh. They laughed at the Contract with America too. The British laughed at George Washington. Washington only had to keep the British from winning to win the war. Newt has 175,000 donors. If they all gave an average of $200, that would equal $35 million. This isn’t over by a long shot, but even if it was, I would rather go down fighting.
