Why has the GOP primary season been contentious? BECAUSE THE ESTABLISHMENT HAS BEEN WORKING HAND IN HAND WITH THE MEDIA TO NUKE ANY GOOD CONSERVATIVE CANDIDATE!!! Good Grief!

I've been saying since 2008 that the establishment would rather see progressives get elected than conservatives, and here it is. Romney is their guy, and they'll do whatever it takes to get him nominated, they'll smear anybody they can.

This is what we get for thinking we could cross the republicans, they're going to nuke some of our great conservative congress people too.

For the establishment, it's big government republicans or bust!

They do not mind being the minority socialist party negotiating with the other socialist party. Conservatives just make things hard.

Poll: Republicans in Congress at risk

Like I've been saying for a long time: a) there is little difference between the two parties in terms of freedom vs. statism, and b) there is no political solution to the problems America has.

RE :”Democrats have taken the lead in a generic congressional ballot for the first time since being washed out of office by Republicans in the 2010 election, according to a Democracy Corps survey released Friday.

Yes this is real
In 2010 I kept asking, are you sure you want Republicans to take the house from Pelosi? She is the lightning rod now. Do you want to lose that? The answer was always 'yes'. In fact many posts here in 2010 were saying that Obama would easily lose 2012 and may not even run. Well, welcome to reality.

Republicans won and took power without a real plan and without real leadership and they ignored the fact that bad economic times mean that voters want the Federal government to do something for them, or look like they are trying.

So as Obama put on the “Alls I want is jobs and what's good for the American people” act., Republicans acted like 2011 (the wasted year) was still 2010 and Pelosi was still in charge,

Here is a clue Republicans in congress : explain why you are better than Democrats AND SHOW THEM. Don't just assume you will win automatically.

From a January 18, 2010 Democracy Corps poll:


The deterioration of Democrat House candidates showed up clearly in Democracy Corps’ generic congressional ballot question. Likely voters favored the Democrat candidate by a margin of 47 percent to 43 percent in August. Now the generic Democrat trails by 46 percent to 45 percent. Those figures are consistent with results in other recent surveys. According the Real Clear Politics average, Republican congressional candidates have an edge of about 2 percent in current polling.

What would be your reaction if Santorum or Gingrich were nominated and Obama cleaned his clock anyway?

I am Catholic, and if none of my choices are 100% ProLife, I have no obligation to vote and, hence, you will not find my vote on any list for Romney nor Obama nor Paul. I pray Santorum wins this nomination...if God gets enough prayer He will intercede here...if not, we deserve destruction.

The Rove-Romney-RINO-GOP ONLY cares about Romney.
Did it matter the SAME CROWD threw the Election in 2008?

Not so far. But it will. WE WILL NOT VOTE FOR ROMNEY
or ANY PARTY THAT PICKS HIM.

Let us remember that the SAME Team Romney and RNME attacked
Gov. Palin on the EVE of Election 2008 to throw the election.

FLASHBACK:

The McCain/Palin ticket was up ++4 to 10 pts
in some polls, days prior to Election 2008.
So rather than helping the GOP, Romney and
TeamROMNEY and the RNME (Republican National Media Establishment)
decided …to attack Gov. Palin to throw Election2008.

Romney, and the Van der Sloot RNME RINOs for Obama in 2008

Late in October, The American Spectator's The Prowler revealed:
"Former Mitt Romney presidential campaign staffers…
have been involved in spreading anti-Palin spin to reporters, seeking to diminish her standing after the election.
'Sarah Palin is a lightweight, she won't be the first, not even the third, person people will think of when it comes to 2012,'
says one former Romney aide…
'The only serious candidate ready to challenge to lead the Republican Party is Mitt Romney.
"Some former Romney aides were behind the recent leaks to media, including CNN, that Governor Sarah Palin was a 'diva' and was going off message intentionally."


The Palmetto Scoop reported: "One of the first stories to hit the national airwaves was
the claim of a major internal strife between close McCain aides and the folks handling his running mate Sarah Palin."
"I’m told by very good sources that this was indeed the case and that a rift had developed, but it was between Palin’s people and the staffers brought on from the failed presidential campaign of former Gov. Mitt Romney, not McCain aides."
"The sources said nearly 80 percent of Romney’s former staff was absorbed by McCain and these individuals were responsible for what amounts to a premeditated, last-minute sabotage of Palin."
… aides loyal to Romney inside the McCain campaign, said The Scoop, reportedly saw
that Palin would be a serious contender for the Republican nomination in 2012 or 2016, which made her a threat to another presidential quest by Romney.


"These staffers are now out trying to finish her off ….hoping it would ingratiate themselves with Mitt Romney."


"Who's the Palin Leaker from the McCain Campaign?
National Review Online The publication of a Vanity Fair profile of Sarah Palin
appears to have opened old wounds in the McCain campaign.
... the source of the “Diva” leak was Nicolle Wallace’s husband."


"Peeking Out From the McCain Wreckage: Mitt Romney"

"Someone's got to say it: IS MITT ROMNEY RESPONSIBLE FOR OBAMA'S VICTORY?"

"Vanity: Team Romney Sabotaged Palin and Continuing to Do So?"

"Romney Supporters Trashing Palin"

"Romney advisors sniping at Palin?"

Welcome to the United Soviet States of America..where the Pravda State Media “vet” the candidates to the pleasure and needs of the RinoCrat UniParty.

This “election” will be a non-election...featuring the state approved “candidates”-whose only distinction is whether they are black or white.

Hmmmm......

Democracy Corps

A poll done by a (probably George Soros) liberal think tank.....founded by James Carville, a liberal political consultant, commentator and prominent liberal pundit


and

Stanley Greenberg, a liberal pollster and political strategist


Yeh, it's accurate.



NOT!!!!!

We have to force awareness of the effectss of Community Organizing by sharing the real Bark Obama with everyone we can. This has to be a referendum on Obama not a media campaign directed at the republican candidate.
