"In politics, purity is a loser," said Barbour, long regarded as one of the GOP's top strategists.

A Freeper whose name unfortunately escapes me once posted that the way to determine the inner truth of a headline or quote is to state the reverse. Hence:

"In politics, impurity is a winner," said Barbour.

So, how does it read NOW?

No Sale.

Nominate an across the board conservative or face a third party.

Sorry Haley, this is not true. We discovered already that when we unite behind a flawed candidate (McCain) we get worse (Obama). In this case, there are already at least two candidates that could be worse themselves.

If you establishment losers force Romney on us, you're going to see disunity like you've never seen before. And it will be YOUR FAULT.

We warned you many, many times.

"We are not going to have a perfect candidate," Barbour told the Republican Leadership Conference in New Orleans.

Barbour wake up, we have the perfect candidate, Sarah Palin.

Gotta love this...

Already pushing the bogeyman argument and the “wasted vote” argument before we’ve even gotten started.

Shows you just how damn scared the establishment Republicans are...

Talk to the hand Barbour. If the GOP elites do not let the base have a candidate they like pretty soon, they will lose the base.

Conservatives have not had a real conservative to support since Reagan. They are not asking for a perfect candidate, just a real conservative with enough backbone to stand against the sell out to Global interests.

GOP leaders big on which individuals turn it is better be worrying about giving the base a turn!

If we nominate a conservative, you bet; but no RINOS.

So he’s basically saying “We are gonna be stuck with Romney so get over it and go vote for him” sorry no dice..I voted for McCain in 2008 because of Sarah Palin..I won’t vote for another Obama-lite..the GOP should be saying “We will make sure not to make the same mistake we did in 2008 by picking a progressive candidate” how about THAT from the GOP for once

A Romney/Bachman ticket will guarantee an Obama second term. Most concervatives will not vote for him, even if it is against the worse president in history. Concervatives view Romney as Obama lite. Romneycare, global warming, ethinol subsidies and he could probably be bought on abortion because he is famous for pandering and flip flopping.

If myth is the nominee, I write in a conservative.

I simply will not vote for romney, I ignored my better judgment and threw my vote away on mcloonatic on the outside hope Sarah Palin would be VP, and that ended up with mcloon throwing the election to the marxist messiah.

Never again.

The GOP is now pushing for Demint to jump in. My feeling is, their internal polls are showing something different then the bs polls they keep pushing on tv. They think they need a stronger conservative to ensure a Romney win. When Demint jumps in, Bachman goes under the bus. Demint or whoever will not change the outcome if Romney is at the top. Say hello to four more years of Obama and possibly losing the house agsin because the conservative base will not turn out to vote.

Well Haley I’ll vote for whoever the Repubs nominate out of the current field with the exception of Romney. Romney is running in the wrong party. Those who believe in socialized medicine and global warming belong to the progressives in the Democratic(Communist) Party. Romney will never ever get my vote.

I’ll be honest if Romney does win I’ll certainly look with a jaundiced eye at any who support him. If any Republican who I may vote for backs Romney they’ll lose me as well. Romney isn’t just a RINO he’s a full blown progressive. Sure he knows how to talk the talk but his actions tell me all I need to know.

Asked if Palin could raise the kind of money to be competitive, Barbour chuckled in agreement.

“She could raise enough money to burn a wet mule,” he said.

Sounds alot like what Mike Castle said as well as other GOP establishment candidates, until Tea Party candidates beat them in the primaries.

Then they changed their tune.
