Jim, I agree with you fully on Romney.
I’m just saying that we need to place our hope in turning the GOP, not the vaporous hope of a non-existant 3rd party. We have a few months to go before all is lost, and we need to use our assets, the chiefest presently being the lurkers that frequent FR, to point in the most productive direction.
For a 3rd party we lack it all:
A candidate
Money
An organization
An audible voice
These things take lots of time and effort to realize.
Getting Santorum out is step one - we need to go there full throttle. Ron Paul appears to take more away from Romney than Gingrich.
I’m not going to vote for or support the ABORTIONIST/STATIST Mitt Romney, PERIOD!!
Suggest we redouble our efforts to get pro-life, small government, strong defense, Reagan conservative Newt Gingrich nominated and ELECTED!!
Rebellion is ON!!
Go, Newt!!
Live free or die!!
Right now I don’t know what the answer is, but just as the establishment drew a line in 2008 and 2010, where they showed us that they were willing to lose elections, and defeat even the Republican nominees to stop conservatism from prevailing over the party, then it is time for us to face facts and know that this is a do or die moment.
I won’t be voting for Mitt Romney, what will I be doing? I will follow and participate in discussions to come, as many of us have to confront the ugly truths of the last three years, and as we face having to reevaluate decades old political knowledge, loyalties, and what we considered our personal ‘wisdom’.
