Things have changed in less than 2 weeks, tbf. I think Mark’s acknowledging that fact and is now going to “Plan B”; nothing wrong with that. Even Patton had a “Plan B” if “Plan A” crapped-out. (My Dad was with him right thru the Battle of The Bulge, thru Bastogne, Market Garden etc, until he was shot/wounded by a sniper.)
He’s pragmatic: whatever and whomever it takes to beat 0bummer&Co. Too many I’ve run into here would rather stay home or skip the top-line vote and vote for the downstream candidates, thinking that they’ll “punish the GOP-e”, but in reality all they’re doing is guaranteeing 0bummer&Co another 4 years. That’s going to kill us all and destroy America. We’ll never get her back unless we get that POS out of office, at all costs.
I sympathize with you, tbf, as I went thru all this *reality* several months ago, when I made the decision to support Newt, but knew in my heart-of-hearts, that Romney was going to be the nominee. Mark does too.
TYPO ERROR:
“...I went thru all this *reality* several months ago...
should be WEEKS AGO. Typing too fast; sorry.

Six hours. Six hours. In six hours, he has decided Newt doesan't have any conservative bona fides, Newt is not conservative and we have to settle for Romney. why couldn't he just as well be using his airwaves to rouse the base around Newt, the last Conservative standing, and give romney and gop-E a run for their money? Six hours? I can't belive this is happening...
It is not the 1st time the EGOP has driven people out.
Without giving away the candidates name, I got to see a tea partier that ran a courageous campaign in 10' Said Candidate attracted people I have never seen on "our side". JFK Democrats, labor types and a former assistant big wig in the Reagan Administration that left politics after GHWB. Yes this person left politics and did note vote in almost 20 years because they saw them (What we now call the EGOP) mucking it up back then. I had the pleasure of shaking their hand, the hand that shook the hand of Reagan.
I am one of those that may loose it for us, I grew up in Mass, I have family their, and have to deal with things back their that would curl your hair. It is a Socialist Kibbutz, and this is what Romney was the Apparatchik of, and many wonder why I am tainted. In discussions today with tea party types at lunch, the discussion of Obama mucking it up to collapse and a reset came up and I didn't even start it. Compared to Romney, they saw this as an option.
The base cannot stand the smell of this rotten kettle of fish that is Romney. And the "EGOP" has no one to blame but themselves.
It is time, 11.7.12, to start the "Party of Reagan". I am ready to abide by the divorce papers the EGOP gave us, it is time for me to move out anyway...
