If this is true, Romney will never get my vote.

I lived in MA under Romney. He is an affable fellow, but he is also a "go along to get along" type of guy. The conservative movement needs a leader and a fighter. We say we are all looking for the next Reagan. I disagree, we are all looking for the political equivalent of the George Patton. And I say our Patton is Sarah Palin.

For those that have never read it, the real words of the speech that Patton gave to 3ARMY before DDay is much better than the George C. Scott "sanitized" version:

Those men in 3ARMY would have crawled over cut glass for Patton because they knew that he was a fighter and would never stop until the job was done. I feel that way about Palin. If the election goes badly for us, I feel like moving to Alaska and signing up for the Palin 2012 campaign immediately!

“And I say our Patton is Sarah Palin. “

I read in another article that the litmus test for the future is “where did you stand on Palin”

I concur, for me, Palin is the new leader and will be for the foreseeable future...

THANK YOU for the link. I am getting goose bumps reading it. I hope you haven't ruined G.C. Scott in one of my favorite movies!

Each man must not think only of himself, but also of his buddy fighting beside him. We don’t want yellow cowards in this Army. They should be killed off like rats. If not, they will go home after this war and breed more cowards. The brave men will breed more brave men. Kill off the Goddamned cowards and we will have a nation of brave men.

Darwinism in action.
