Willard does not have the base...
The Conservatives are the base in the GOP-e...
We give the money, hold membership in the Republican Party and Republican Women and the Pachyderms, work the party headquarters, knock on doors, hold the signs, decorate our front yards and neighborhood corners with signs, buy tickets to dinners, go to rallies, spread cheer and enthusiasm for our candidate with every breathe, stir up the “troops”, wear the TShirts, choke our cars with bumper stickers, make the phone calls from home and man the phone banks, go to GOTV seminars for new strategies, run GOP booths at the county fair and street fairs, etc, you name it..Ive done it all..
The Conservatives are the cheerleaders for the GOP...
Without us the game is dull...
Unfortunately we have a dull competitor...
For the first time since we gathered in parks around the country and hook up by satellite to the big meeting on the steps of Congress in Washington to pray for success for Ronald Reagan in 1980, Im not out doing my usual politial thing...
That is highly unusual for me...
Who would I like to see nominated at the GOP convention ???
In other words who has a better chance of WINNING as opposed to just trying to trick Obama into tripping and losing...???
They need real Conservative creds...
At this stage Newt would just be another “white man” and would have that handicap for a while...But I think his message could overcome objections like that ...
We know him and we know he has the interests of the country at heart...hes smart and knowledgeable and doesnt need a teleprompter nor an earpeice...
Heaven knows he has little of personal reputation left...thats been torn to shreds by Willard...so anything he does is for the country...
Newt will take the fight to Obamas corner instead of just sitting pretty with flowers in his hand as though Obama were a date who might call...
Newt has plans for the country...and hes announced them...he knows how it runs hes been there in Washington right in the heart of the beast and its engine...HE HAS EXPERIENCE...
Theres Herman Cain...that would take away the “black man/racist” thing ...with a strong VP he has a chance of WINNING...
Sanctorum...I think his after primary comments may have cooked his goose...
Bachmann...Why not...a woman at the top of the ticket would be a strong message for those “war against the women” groups...I think Michele could hold her own...except the Dems might put in Hillary...
Perry...I think he has gumption and hes not afraid of Obama..he could have the base behind him..
During one of the early 2012 debates Willard himself said any of the GOP candidates could beat Obama...would be better than Obama...
Lets see if he would back up his words and support one of his former rivals...
Then theres Col Allen West who would make a great VP
Maybe Newt and West...
Or Newt and his friend Herman Cain...
and no I havent forgotten Governor Sarah Palin...
Right now our “country’s bright future” is hanging on what happens at the GOP convention...
So lets see what happens next month...
But whatever happens I wont be voting for Willard...
So find me a real American Conservative to vote for or shut up...
Newt did a great job of shredding his own reputation back when he ditched his seat in the House for his mistress. You can't blame Romney for that. I coudn't understand his odd behavior during the Clinton Impeachment debacle in 1998. He was very mild mannered and never attacked Clinton at the time, even though he was Speaker and had the power. The reason became apparent after his resignation when he anounced his pending divorce.
