Well, I think you hit a reset button for the fall campaign.
Everything changes. It's almost like an Etch a Sketch.
You can kind of shake it up and we start all over again.

That's the way I feel. Romney was my last choice, but he's still better than a second term of Obama. If ZerO gets re-elected, all bets are off. If we thought things were bad his first term, wait until he doesn't have to posture for re-election!

Like McCain, Romney can't win...The numbers are not there...

The needed votes will not materialize...Some people will just not vote for Romney...

So I'd like to encourage you and the others to vote for Gingrich...Is he too conservative for many of you to live with???

Those who would not vote for McCain will vote for Newt...That along with your votes will push Newt over the top of Obama...

Support Newt, or you are just throwing your vote away...

LOL....I don't know why, but that sure gave me a nice chuckle.

Thanks!

" We're at the crossroads. Down one road is a European centralized bureaucratic socialist welfare system in which politicians and bureaucrats define the future.
Down the other road is a proud, solid, reaffirmation of American exceptionalism."

Do y'all really believe that Mittens would nominate a Pagan or Sotomayor to the SC? I call that quit significant.

How is it that we're this far into the primary and you're not aware that Mitt appointed MOSTLY hard-left liberals to the bench while he was Governor?

The answer is yes. Mitt will appoint left-wing libs to the Supreme Court.

"We don't intend to turn the Republican Party over to the traitors in the battle just ended. We will have no more of those candidates who are pledged to the same goals as our opposition and who seek our support. Turning the Party over to the so-called moderates wouldn’t make any sense at all."" -- President Ronald Reagan

"Any ideas other than throwing money at him?"

Print out copies of the chart above and hand them out to everyone you know, and even those you don't know. Talk costs nothing ... convince people that Newt is the right choice.

“I'll vote for Obama, just to make a statement.”

That you are as Communist?

Look, someone will emerge as the protest candidate. Even if it's a write in. Voting for THAT candidate will send a message. It will tell the GOPe that they are FINISHED! From the ashes, we will build a Conservative Party, that in the beginning will be the swing votes, growing to be the majority party in America.

If we don't do this we will just continue (as Newt says) to “manage the decay.

Obama: The boat is sinking. Water coming in at 2 gpm.

Romney: The boat is sinking. Water coming in at 2 gpm, and Willard is bailing at 1 gpm.

Is that really any better?

I say abandon ship! Swim to a nearby island and build a better boat.

I’ll agree with you in November. Right now I’m giving them some time to shake off the media hypnosis.

I think the chart would be a great handout in states that have yet to vote...at grocery stores, libraries, door to door, meetings, dorms, posted on bulletin boards, etc.
