[Dr. Sivana]

Let's reject the guy who's 75% conservative for the guy who's 0% conservative.

The author of RomneyCare who is in fact ??% conservative should have known better than to play scorched earth during the primaries with about half-a-dozen candidates. It is not just about keeping the conservatives in the party, it is also about attracting those independents and Democrats who themselves are socially conservative. They don't and won't trust the Romney types the deliver. I work in MADISON, WI. Plenty of pro-guys there even among the libs. Even socialist Bernie Sanders knows enough not to cross them. But Romney resembles John F. Kerry and his hunting license foray more than Reagan or Santorum.

I would love to throw those Wall Street-first types overboard for some lunch pail types. And they are out there. I'm okay with low taxes for corporations, but they are FIRST to throw everyone else in the coalition off of the bus, and then throwing it into reverse. In CT, it was the CBIA (CT Business and Industry Association) that BACKED Weicker's state income tax, playing a sniveling Dr. Smith, pleading, "tax them, not me!!" In like wise, these types not only want social conservatives to abandon the core issues, but they sneer as well. If you sneer back, they call it class warfare.

It could well be that the Jupiter 2 cannot find its way back home with Dr Smith on board. It may be time to form new coalitions, with new priorities.

It isn't Romney's fault that conservatives fielded the most sorry-assed pathetic gaggle of losers ever to wallow in a GOP primary. It's little wonder he was able to steamroll over all of them.
