The way I see it, it’s just going to take not giving up, and a LOT of re-education of the independent ignorants and the conservatives who claim to be conservatives, but are really just RINOs — or are just good people but too busy to educate themselves on politics.
You almost just have to feel sorry for them and how ignorant they are. It’s not something that can be easily overcome.
We battle the media, we battle the distracting sporting events, men who golf, women who work, soccer moms, suburbanites, mall zombies, American Idol, and all the rest of the “idols” Americans enjoy.
If Romney becomes the nominee, I will have to go with it, just vote my republican heart out, and hope and be involved and DO NOT LET UP on these leaders anywhere in Congress. It’s always going to be a small number of patriots that saves this nation.
Would Romney directly attack the Catholic church? I don’t feel he would. Would he state that he needs a “civilian army?” I doubt it. Would he take dozens of vacations on the taxpayer’s dime? I don’t think he would do that either.
He’ll be hideous, but he would not be utterly evil, marxist, or entirely phony or corrupt, or a closet homo.
All of that said, I’m STILL 100% in support of this thing going to a brokered fight in the end. 100%. And even if Newt never gets near the WH, he’s now an open platform from which to speak ...and never let up.
Just give it time ...give it time.
Agree that is why Newt must stay in.
I am still of the opinion that if Newt/Santorum merge their campaigns tonight, We can win this thing in Tampa.
The SoCons get what they want and the FiCons get what they want, An Almost perfect ticket.
Newt is being jammed out of media coverage. More and more, if we are serious about Newt, we are going to have to pick up the slack, and make our own Newt media.
1. Get your favorite newt video
2. or make one yourself on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/create OR www.youtube.com/t/creators_corner
3. Make some Newt stationary, invite 3 or 4 people over to watch a Newt vid. Leave your invitations on their porch, or in their apartment or condo lobby, or send in snail or email.
4. Give a little talk at the beginning, why you support Newt, keep it simple.
5. show your vid, with a few snacks, something simple.
4. Have some Newt info to give to them. flyers, brochures, etc.
6. Then make a plea for them to get involved.
Some will say yes, right then and there. Others will say they’ll get back to you, others might say no right there on the spot.
Keep a little calendar and follow up on the undecided in a week or so.
Create your own Newt media. the campaign has its own problems right now. Step up and double down.
My first newt party was 2 people, both were my best friends, just humoring me.
For the last debate, I had to reserve the banquet room at a local restaurant to handle all my Newt converts.
We have to do this ourselves. If it’s not important enough to get off the couch, then it’s not important enough, and let obama or romney have it.
As evidenced here on FR, it is very doubtful any Santorum supporters are going to change their minds, they want a saint for president, and think they have one in Santorum.
But there are plenty of open-minded people out there, not even engaged or paying attention yet. They are ripe for Newt picking.
Any help I can give you, just ask.
If you want to teach the RNC a lesson donate to each individual candidate instead of them. That works well. Dropping out because things don't happen fast enough for you only helps obama. And if you really don't see the difference between Romney and Obama there is not much hope for you anyway.
