something stinks to high heaven here. I smell a Donald Segretti from among the ranks of liberal agents provacateur.
McCain was the last Republican on earth that most people thought would get the nomination last time out. Rush said that if he got the nomination it would be the end of the Republican party, if I remember correctly.
McCain got it the same way Romney might get it, and if Romney succeeds, he will fail to get the votes of conservatives who are finally getting wise to the futility of winning at any cost. The cost is the loss of limited government conservatism. What does it profit a country to have a Republican as president and lose its limited government soul?
That's not to say Romney would lose the presidency, it only means those who elected him would be leftists who found even Obama's politics a little too extreme.
Romney is poison to the GOP and to the USA. He is very bad news. I am not as sanguine as you, Rome, that Romney will lose the nomination and would loose the presidential election. The only thing I know for sure is that he would forfeit my vote because after 30 years of making the same mistake of voting for big government leftist Republicans, I now refuse to cast any kind of vote except one that will make liberal Republicans LOSE. It is the only way to move the Republican party to the right.
And moving the Republican party to the right, toward limited government conservatism, is the only hope for our freedom and prosperity.
“US conservatives prefer Paul to Palin: poll”
Some might. I don’t.
So were Clinton and Carter.
Domestically, Ron Paul is very sane. It’s when he starts talking about foreign policy that he goes nuts. We have already learned with Bush that a President who is only conservative on one of those fronts doesn’t really help the cause. Just because 0bama is insane on every issue doesn’t mean being insane on only one is ok.
We know 0bama is dangerous and must be stopped, but we also have to find a suitable replacement.
Brilliant, as usual, Finny.
If the McCain debacle hadn’t occured last time Romney might squeak by as the candidate.
Romney will last until the first time he says on a national stage iin a debate with the other candidates instead of Hannity or Coulter that MassCare is different than what the socialists are trying to do and he’s laughed at, shouted down, and ridiculed into submission.
Bovine Excrement bump!
I hope you’re right!
Mark Levin is talking cryptically about this now. *sigh*
So far it doesn't look too promising, if we have to choose between crazy, or corrupt.
