IF I want to be emotional SO WHAT!!!!!!!!!!

Hey, I generally don't offer unsolicited advice, but since you offered me some, I thought I'd reciprocate. And feel free to be as emotional as you want. It's a free country, right? I simply offered the opinion that it is unlikely to be persuasive to someone who doesn't already agree with you.

To me, political accomplishments matter more than emotionally satisfying rhetoric. I want whomever wins the GOP nomination to be both conservative and someone who can build the legislative coalitions necessary to turn those conservative principles into law. It may not sound as titillating as calling Obama a Kenyan Usurper, but it does a lot more for the country.

I am not completely a political novice having been involved in politics in my business career. To paraphrase your sentiment, I learned the following maxim: "it does not matter how right you are; it matters how effective you are"... That said -this maxim speaks to amassing power and success all premised upon the perception mainly of higher ups...

Our political power comes from the people NOT the higher ups (establishment) -we saw this with the tea party.

We do not need leaders that seek to please the establishment -we need leaders that simply carry out the wishes of the people that got them there. The 'message' does not need to be created it simply has to be heard.

Palin had the right idea -open the primaries to as many as possible and the people will pick who they want!
