There are party’s out there already, but they get less than 1%. We already have the Christian vote, the gun vote, the tax cut vote, the strong defense vote and more. Nothing is pure. There are many Repubs that make me ill, McCain and Romney are 2 of them. But they are better than Obama. That’s what we have and that’s all we will get. The Tea Party handed the Repubs a victory and we couldn’t even get a Tea Party committee chairman. Some Republicans need to leverage their power to get what they want, or we will be ignored once again. That is what Newt is trying to do. In the end, they know we will all stay on the plantation and vote for Romney over Obama. This is the same tactic the Dems use to keep their various factions on board. I guarantee there are scores of Dems that aren’t happy with Obama, but they would never vote “R”. They just keep hoping that one day there would be another FDR and 11 years of Depression to get gubmint checks over. Obama is almost there, but he needs one more term to destroy America. Romeny isn’t my first choice, he’s not even my 5th choice, but he’s not Obama.
I don’t know this but I do know people and I suspect I am right... This is much like the arguments put forth when the Republican party was forming. There was no internet of course, but there were newspapers, editorials and letters to the editor, so the argument was made at some point.
Enough people ignored it and droped their support for the Whigs or whatever party they felt was out of step, and the GOP was born. I think it needs to happen again. Granted we won’t see a turnaround within the next four years but we won’t get one with Romney either. Even if the ‘Doom and Gloomers’ are right and America is sliding over the edge into Socialist oblivion, Romney won’t save us. The best we can hope for from him is a slower slide. I’m with the growing crowd that thinks we might as well get it over with, let the ‘useful idiots’ who’ve sat on the sidelines cheering feel the evil their idiocy has wrought. No country - NO society has ever made socialism work. All that has ever been accomplished is a lot of death and destruction followed by some sort of more democratic government.
We’re all going to die: You, me, our kids and friends. There’s no way around it. The trick is to make a difference while you’re alive.
