This is just further evidence that these second tier candidates are not going to make it. They only serve to keep the Not Romney’s fractured.
I know some won’t like it, but that goes for Rick Perry too (who I actually like). Right now he’s competing with Bachmann for 5th in Iowa. Down state he barely registers. They say he had big bank at one time. Does he still today? He’s been spending big in Iowa. Perry’s last stand may come on Jan 3rd - especially if he performs as he is currently polling.
Boy, you are really big into conspiracy theories tonight. I think both Newt and Mitt suck, so by your reasoning, I am working to support Romney.
I hate to burst your bubble, but your boy Newt is rapidly moving toward second-tier status.
So I guess you are right. Bachmann, Perry, and Gingrich should drop out now, and support Santorum, the 3rd-place candidate who actually is conservative.
A VOTE FOR SANTORUM IS NOT A VOTE FOR ROMNEY NOR OBAMA
A VOTE FOR BACHMANN IS NOT A VOTE FOR ROMNEY NOR OBAMA
A VOTE FOR ROMNEY IS NOT A VOTE FOR OBAMA; BUT IT IS NOT A VOTE FOR A CONSERVATIVE.
A VOTE FOR GINGRICH IS NOT A VOTE FOR A CONSERVATIVE.
YOU, sir, are the type of "conservative" keeping the conservative vote "fractured" with illogical arguments based on begging the question.
If you agree with Newt's positions, then you should vote for Newt. (you should also stop referring to yourself as a "conservative", but I digress)
And, should Romney win the nomination because YOU were too irrational and obstinate to vote for a conservative, then YOU will be to blame for nominating Romney.
And, should Obama defeat Romney because Romney fails to make a clear case for conservatism, then YOU will be to blame for re-electing OBAMA!!
Hmmm? .... What's that? .... Speak up.
Ooohh, you don't like that argument when it's used against you? It doesn't make any sense, you say?
But it makes perfect sense when YOU use it, for YOUR purposes, for YOUR candidate, ... doesn't it?
AAANNNNDDD, another thing ..... Newt can't win.
Why not, you ask?
Well, because nobody but you is going to vote for him, of course.
What's that? ... Why isn't anyone going to vote for Newt?
Why, because he can't win, Silly!
Huh?
You don't like THAT piece of irrational claptrap, illogical nonsense, typically leftist, non-argument EITHER?!?
Boy! Tough crowd.
