“And there’s no question that Fox had a lot to do with stopping my campaign because such a high percentage of our base watches Fox.”
That’s right.
If we get Romney, we can blame Fox News.
I am very pleased with having no cable or satellite service. No television (only rarely while traveling, and I do my best to avoid Fox News).
You can blame Fox, National Review, Townhall.com, the Bush cabal, Drudge and a smattering of other formerly reliable conservative news types. They’ve taken a Henry Kissinger “realpolitick” approach to this campaign. They’ve decided to go with the candidate who they thought looked best on paper against Obama, and completely ignored issues of conservatism, heart, passion and integrity in pursuit of victory. Some of them naively think they can cajole Romney into being a conservative if they can get him elected. Others know Romney is the second coming of George H.W. Bush, but view him as a winner who will once again make the White House a playground for the GOP elite. Krauthamer is probably already getting ready for a stint as White House spokesperson. This is all about regaining access to power, not about saving America from Obama’s ruinous policies. A Romney Presidency, if it occurs, will be Obama-lite - not conservatism.
