But I'm not going to live in a state of delusion. Why do you think that the establishment gave us McCain and then Romney going up against a known socialist in two elections in a row?
I'm not going to be deluded into thinking that it just happened that way.
Houeto, you have the blessing of living in Texas, the folks that I pinged have suffered our lives under Illinois politics.
Simply put there is a thing in Illinois known as the "Combine". It is made up by establishment Dems and Republicans. It is why Mike Madigan has been IL Speaker since Zeus walked the Planet, it is why Obama trounced to victory in 2004 when he had a legit opponent named Jack Ryan, it is why Bill Brady was thrown down the stairs to give the Governorship to Pat Quinn Lt. Gov under now jailed Blagojavech!
How do we know it was stolen? Every Republican candidate and tea party candidate won big time, Mark Kirk beat Barack Obama's basketball buddy Alexi Gianullious for the Senate. Judy Biggert, Peter Roskam, Joe Walsh, Adam Lipinsk won with HUGE margins in the suburbs.
So we know how awful it is to fight the establishment.
The Combine wanted former IL GOP Chairman Andy McKenna to win the GOP Primary for Governor in 2010. Conservatives came out in droves and voted for downstate conservative Bill Brady who won. The Combine was shocked, they did not want him to win and due to vote fraud in Crook County some of which I have on video and I was working with the Brady and Kirk Campaigns on election day as well with FReeper BillyBoy. We saw fraud all over the suburbs and the city, and Brady was winning till suddenly like magic from a fairies Pat Quinn got a ton of votes from seemingly no where!
When I say I'm not delusional that is because I'm dealing with logic. Trust me, I did not read all those books in undergrad and grad for fun. No one in history has come back from this margin.
I will right now bet you my life savings that Newt Gingrich will not be the nominee in Tampa. If you really think Newt has it you lose nothing.
I'm a realist living in a dem dominated state. 2 Governors in a row are in prison, if you really think Newt will be the nominee after tonight, I really would like you to invest into my business since you sound as gullible as a 8 year old at an ice cream truck...
