“pious baloney” = RLY Rich Lowrey?
Had to steal Newt’s line to describe Huntsman? LOLOL.
When the state party shrinks during your administration, and suffers losses two elections in a row, and you are leaving office at 34% approval, reelection is not open to you
After 4 Republican governors in a row, Romney turned it into a democrat seat ever since.
I’m going to park this here so maybe someone will respond/discuss. As the “newbie,” i don’t feel like dealing with the hassle that would be involved if i posted this as a thread. Hope you don’t mind. It’s related to this article.
I have a question for those here who are wiser than I. My question, “Why the rush to decide among the 3?” is based on several assumptions:
1. The IA caucus was an open primary, so there were crossover voters (dems and GOP-E) who voted.
2. The SC primary is also open, so ditto #1. (NH doesn’t really count; it’s a northern state where Newt & Perry won’t do well; it has gone Dem in 4 of the last 5 elections; and it only has 4 delegates anyway).
3. Since IA and SC are open primaries and therefore easily influenced by non-conservative voting blocs, these first 2 primaries do not reflect accurately the will of the 70-75% non-Romney conservatives.
4. The liberal media wants Romney because he’ll lose in the general election.
5. The GOP-E media want Romney because they want to retain their power & corruption, and in their egocentric state, they are incapable of realizing Romney will lose. (The more corrupt among them do not CARE if he loses.)
6. The Dems want Romney for the same reason as the media (see #4).
My question: Based on the above assumptions/presumptions, WHY is there such a frenetic rush to push 2 of the 3 remaining conservative candidates out and get behind 1 of them?
I know, I know... “We need to get together behind ONE PERSON!!!! If we don’t Romney will win!!!” But why? Is that based on emotion or rational intellectual thought?
Please do no answer with a rationale that includes any reference to polls, the media, or the opinion of the masses. That’s my point: The “masses” are being brainwashed into believing “Romney is our Savior.”
The way the rigged primaries are set up now, if we make this important decision based on the IA and SC primaries, then we are basing our decision on TWO OPEN PRIMARIES and LIBERAL POLLING DATA. Again... Why? There seems to be a concerted push here to make a premature decision. Why?
One more thing... An observation: It has been my experience in life that when people BEHAVE and ACT like a winner, they are more apt to win. Isn’t that what Democrats do? They ACT like winners. Look at the recent non-recess, recess (unconstitutional) appointment. They LAUGH at our weeping and gnashing of teeth and frenzied behavior.
If conservatives here and at other Internet sites would start ignoring the negative brainwashing by the media and start behaving with the quiet self-assurance that winners exhibit, then we would not be “stuck” with Romney.
IMHO.
