I just do not get all the hemming and hawing. Romeny is the candidate we thought he was before, during and after the primary. He is a slick politician who is unable to articulate a conservative message. But he is our slick politician who is unable to atriculate a conservative message and we have to do what we can to throw him over the line. And throw him over the finish line we can as the opponent in this election is such a failure that even a blank canvas RINO like Mitt could beat him.
I am bothered by all these clowns who forced this guy on us (and I am not talking about Rush or Levin) and are now eager to abandon him the second that the race ends up being close or it looks like some (gulp) work might be involved. News flash to the intelligencia in the Republican E and their supporters, every time you run a blank canvas, believe in nothing RINO who wants to run a “competent manager” campaign that tries to appeal to “moderates” and apologive for conservatism you will ALWAYS end up with either an eek out victory (see Florida 2000) or a smashing defeat (see McLame 2008). But, you run a campaign on ideas where you just do not give a damn what the MSM prints about you and you end up in Scott Walker land blowing the MSM to dust and putting liberals into apopletic land.
On another note, isn’t it funny how Paul Ryan has dissapeared from this race? I do not mean that the Romney campaign is hiding him but rather that the MSM is trying their best to. Why? Because Ryan is about ideas and talking about issues. The MSM knows full well that it is easier to paint whatever picture they need to on blank slate Romney in order for Obama to win. Issues are the enemy of the Obama campaign.
As for the idea of a third party, I am not sure it needs to go that far. Why not have a pre-primary so that we conservatives can pick one candidate to line up behind. In my opinion this last primary season allowed the Republican E to divide and conquer the conservatives in the race. On another note, am I the only one developing a hatred for Karl Rove?
That is a great suggestion - but as long as the GOP allows open primaries, and Democrats can choose our nominee for national office - then there’s no possibility for Conservatism to have a voice in the Republican party.
But then that is what Tuesday night at the RNC convention established as permanent policy: the political irrelevance of Conservatism in the GOP.
Romney and the GOP-e have already done more damage to Conservatives and the Conservative ideology than anything Obama has done in his entire time in office.
