Okay. But why do we have to throw them at each other???
I don't know what it is about the GOP; but it seems it has an in-built suicidal instinct. By the time these fellows are finished abusing one another, they ALL will be "damaged goods" by the time "the last man standing" appears before the American general electorate next November.
And we see the very same thing played out here, at FR, a conservative website. Long-time friends and fellows in Christ suddenly start having profound difficulties with one anothers' choice of candidate and/or political position. The "lines" are drawn....
Something is very wrong with this picture....
Which is why I said much earlier, prayer and fasting are likely far more efficacious than "political discourse" right now....
That is really the only point I wanted to make.
So I'll just clam up for now and pray....
...for a great American Cultural Revival, or Spiritual Reawakening....
Absent that, it's four more years (at least) of Obama ... entailing "death to America." JMHO FWIW
Each other?
Romney is not one of us. He is the enemy.
If Romney wins the nomination, then we have lost the war.
Now is the time to unleash the dogs of war. We can reload after the convention, but right now our focus is on defeating the enemy that is before us. That enemy is Romney.
1. Romney did not go with Gingrich’s call for ‘no attacking our own’. He started attacking Gingrich in Iowa and Gingrich honored his own pledge of not attacking fellow R candidates until after NH primary!
We all know what those one-sided attacks (not based on facts) did to Gingrich - they sank him entirely!
2. Wouldn’t you defend yourself when you have had it? Why can’t Gingrich defend himself by paying Romney back with some ‘attack ads’? And Gingrich even offered to delete whatever Romney can prove to be baseless!
3. You can’t blame a candidate for fighting back to keep/regain what he has earned through hard work! If he does not fight back his fellow competitor how is he going to fight against the ultimate enemy - obozo the usurper?!
4. In the primary you fight to be the nominee, ideally by winning the issues. How can one win on issues alone when the opponent uses unfounded attack ads to destroy the issue-man? In politics, attack ads work if you don’t defend yourself!
We all would have preferred issue-oriented campaign, but Romney started it and there is no turning back.
If we have to blame anybody we have to blame the one who started it!
That seems to be Gingrich’s fate - he is the whipping boy. It is always Gingrich’s faults?!
To defeat obama, you need to, in the primary, defeat the one who cannot defeat obama. Romney cannot defeat obama. Romney, if undefeated in the primary, will be another obama!
They all want to defeat obama, but they have to win the nomination first.
Since Romney has shot the first arrow, the fight is on. No sense lamenting their fights. He who is the fiercest fighter will win and go on to fight the ultimate enemy - obama!
Keep your eyes on the victory at the end of the war!
I think the race is Gingrich & Romney. The more the Rats hate Newt the more I like him. However, I believe Newt has fallen into a terrible error of attacking Romney's business success and his personal wealth. These attacks quickly became attacks on success in general and free enterprise in particular. Class warfare is a Rat tactic and in the end Newt is going to suffer.
I'm convinced either candidate will beat obama. After the Pubs win they better get to work quickly because I don't think the American people are going to be patient after 4 yrs of this disaster.
