I am struggling with how to cast my vote if Romney gets the nomination, while praying Newt finds a way through Divine Providence to pull out a victory in a brokered convention.
As several have eloquently stated, it’s waaay past time for the GOP-E to reap the rewards of their actions in perpetually skewing the primary process toward the moderate squish candidate that is “next-in-line” (Dole, McCain, now Romney).
The nation is at a critical junction. Without drastic spending cuts, departmental eliminations (Energy, Education, EPA, NLRB, etc.), wholesale cleaning out of career lib/progressives in State, Defense, etc.), reigning in of the Federal Reserve and Federal Judiciary, our economy is toast, our new job production remains anemic, and our freedoms will continue to erode.
Newt is the ONLY candidate I see willing to make “big” ideas like the above part of his policies, which he has reams of documentation on implementing at his web site.
Romney & Santorum will just take us off the cliff at a slower speed than the dems.
I seriously may go third party or write-in if Romney gets the Republican nod.
W. Bush set back the conservative cause a couple of decades simply because he refused to draw a bright line between conservative and lib/progressive policies, with the exception of FINALLY taking it to the terrorists, but then he mucked that up with his “nation-building” proclivities.
Obama has done more to energize the conservative, patriotic, constitutional base than any moderate candidates the GOP-E has proferred in the last 15 years.
Perhaps another 4 years of Obama is what is required to get the entire voting public behind a true conservative alternative.
God help us all if this is true, but I can’t see a moderate making enough of a difference in our national trajectory to justify holding my nose and voting for them. Especially as it will fuel the MSM/progressive/dem meme that the conservatives are the cause of the coming misery.
Let the dems/MSM/progressives and GOP-E own it lock, stock, and barrel.
