Another thing that Romney will have to do to keep from being DUMPED in Tampa......

Oh yeah; like that’s really gonna happen. Things are starting to go from the absurd to the sublime absurd around here.
The IDEA is to beat Obama convincingly. Forget about your favorite politician, and focus on the IDEA of beating Obama.
The REPUBLICAN Primary Candidates have proven that NONE of THEM can fight their way out of a wet paper bag!
The REPUBLICAN Primary was merely a test run to the GENERAL NATIONAL ELECTION.
REALITY CHECK: NONE OF THE REPUBLICAN PRIMARY CANDIDATES CAN BEAT OBAMA IN NOVEMBER.
Given that reality, let us learn from the lessons of History, insist that the Convention delegates vote to ABSTAIN (=None of the above), OPEN the Tampa Convention to discussion and chose the Candidate that CAN beat Obama.
Why is this so hard?
We owe NO loyalty to ANY of our Primary Candidates.
We owe NO loyalty to the Primary Election results.
We owe no loyalty to the RINO Wing of the Republican Party.
We owe loyalty ONLY to what is best for the United States of America, and that , IMHO, is to CONVINCINGLY DEFEAT OBAMA in November.
BTW, for all of you that consider Romney to be that guy, just answer this question:
” What will Romney have to do to keep from being DUMPED at the Tampa Convention?”
And what's best for the USA is to have someone other than Obama or Romney as our president.
I agree that the ideal would be for the conservatives in the Republican Party to rise up and displace Romney, but it isn't going to happen.
That leaves us with the choice of going backward thinking that it will be a step forward OR focusing only on the down-ticket races OR voting the most conservative choice for any race or issue.
Since the 3rd choice encompasses the 2nd, that'w what I'll do. My religious beliefs about abortion and gay couples prevent me from ever considering a vote for Romney.
” - - - but it isn’t going to happen.”
Why defeat yourself before you try?
Wayne “The Great One” Gretsky ‘splains it this way: “100 % of the hockey shots on goal that you don’t take will not go in the net.”
So stop pissing on the dry grass, and help start this grassroots fire to beat Obama with a winning Nominee!
Yeah, now try putting Gretsky at home plate trying to hit major-league pitching. 100 percent of his swings will fail to yield a home run.
You have to know where you have a chance of having an impact and where you have no chance.
So stop pissing on the dry grass, and help start this grassroots fire to beat Obama with a winning Nominee!
Too bad that you see a statement of basic reality as pissing on the dry grass. There are many down-ticket races where we can have impact. That is the place to concentrate. Mitt has this wrapped up and nothing the grassroots can do at this point will change things. Nothing.
I believe that Gov. Romney can be influenced, but certainly not by insulting him, or suggesting that he is lying when he says that he has become more Conservative.
Patient, polite & persistent efforts are called for; playing to what we know of Gov. Romney's better traits. (See Romney & American Conservatism.)

When the winds of change dry your area of wet grass that you are standing on come join us, and help defeat the Medical Entitlement Twins: Obama and Romney.
Look up the word 'quixotic' and get back to me.
Ping.
