“Rather than focus on the negatives, the Republicans still left to vote should focus on the positives. Which of these three can lead this nation in war, can implement conservative policies on economics and foreign policy, and work to reduce spending and taxes in meaningful ways that expands liberty rather than constraining it? Which of them have actually done this successfully, and which can use that experience in a general election to beat either Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama?”
This sounds like the farmer who just got the go-ahead to buy a new self-closing barn door and the money to replace his prize brood mare from the insurance man.
He may have lost his best horse but at least he ain’t walking yet.
I can’t see a candidate who won’t outjones the other at this point; the housing collapse shifted voter’s attention to the larder and big government has the key to the grocery store.
Four years of hillary would be a huge setback for our country. Four years of Obama would probably be even worse.
But I WILL NOT vote for Giuliani, Huckabee, or McCain under any circumstances. Romney? Possibly. I haven’t decided.
If it’s hillary against one of these losers, I certainly won’t vote for hillary, but I cannot in good conscience vote for the others, either. And I am convinced that many, many Republican voters will feel the same way. It would make the 2006 election fiasco look like a picnic.
But better to be set back for four horrible years than to see the conservative alternative completely destroyed.
After all the progress we have made, this is very disappointing. Let’s hope the Republican party comes to its senses.
Sure was, McLame lost 8% of the support he had the last time he was in a primary there......41% then and 33% yesterday.
I like your tagline...I’m depressed.
My wife and I went to an gallery showing last night and all we could talk about was how bad Fred did....damn
Ordinarily I’d agree, but with the alternatives of the Hildebeast or Obama. . . It MAY be the year to vote the lesser evil. . .
Nope. He's in the "Play the Hand You're Dealt" camp.
When the dust settles, there will be a reality to deal with, regardless of what any individual or group had hoped for. The mature thing to do at that point is take an honest look at the candidates who've made it to the general, and cast a ballot for the one who can do the best job of the two.
This time around it's slim pickins', for sure, but there will be a clear choice even so, and it's not likely to be Hillary, Obama or the "son of a meel worker."
No
Thanks... next question, are there any winner take all states in the GOP caucus ?
There are 9 on Super Tuesday out of 21 contests that day. Honestly, the lack of WTA States is why I think we are heading for a brokered convention.
