Haven't taken a survey, but doubt anyone bothers to read your trite spam. Might consider making it shorter and change it from time to time.

Thank you for the personal touch spell check. That is a good one.
I always read things like this, but they're hooey. There is no secret cabal who picks the GOP nominee.
The primary voters, the rank and file, select the nominee with votes.
The problem is the Republican Party is not conservative enough. That's what needs to change.
“I believe the rest of my post (which you chose to ignore)”
I didn’t ignore it. I just didn’t have any issues with it. I think perhaps you have mistaken my intent.
“in a choice between Mitt and Obama, Mitt is nominally better.”
Yes, but my point is that we must no longer allow the GOP to saddle us with nominees who are only nominally better than a depraved scoundrel like BamBam.
It is my assertion that they will not start acting right until they are faced with utter destruction. We must reduce them to that choice: Good nominees, or utter destruction of the party.
In every organization you have people who belong to the organization, and people who think the organization belongs to them. If we can’t take the organization away from those people, then the organization must die.
No matter what, the pubbies must not be allowed to continue along as before.
But ahhh .... he wants to do to the country what he did to Massachusetts... If he is the nominee might as well vote for obama at least he is a Socialist. Mitt is just a socialist.

Refreshing to see someone on a Romney thread that is actually dealing in reality. One can only choose from what is available unless they can create better choices.
We have people posting their Romney diatribes almost daily when the primaries are nearly two years away. These “watchdogs” may find that they, like the family mutt that barks incessantly, are ignored when it is time to spread the alarm.

“Mitt, if you get the nomination, I will vote for Satan himself if he is the Demonrat nominee.”
Interesting, maybe you already have a relationship with him, or you should just be “tooting” from a bodily orifice.

I have no quarrel with any of that. I acted upon that philosophy in 2008. I sat home on election day. Many millions of others did as well.
Hello xResident Obama. I won’t do it again. The country can’t afford it.
“I always read things like this, but they’re hooey. There is no secret cabal who picks the GOP nominee.”
Don’t argue like a liberal. No one suggested that there is any “secret cabal.”
It is no secret at all that there are movers and shakers who have power in the GOP, and that it is this elite has great influence over who has a chance at the nomination.
“The primary voters, the rank and file, select the nominee with votes.”
Road apples. The ones who vote choose from among those they are offered, on the basis of the information they are fed. The liberal media have more influence over the choice of candidate than “the primary voters.”
As Oswald Spengler wrote, “What is truth? For the multitude, that which it continually reads and hears. A forlorn little drop may settle somewhere and collect grounds on which to determine “The Truth”-but what it obtains is just its truth. The other, the public truth of the moment, which alone matters for effects and successes in the fact-world, is today a product of the press. What the press wills, is true. Its commanders evoke, transform, interchange truths. Three weeks of press work, and the truth is acknowledged by everybody....A more appalling caricature of freedom of thought cannot be imagined. Formerly a man did not dare to think freely. Now, he dares, but cannot; his will to think is only a willingness to think to order, and this is what he feels is HIS liberty.”
“The problem is the Republican Party is not conservative enough. That’s what needs to change.”
That is one problem, yes. Another is that it is run by people who want it to become even less conservative. If you want it to become more conservative, it must be wrested from their blood-stained fingers. If that can’t be done, the party must die.
That sounds alot like a liberal argument to me.
We get the nominee the party voters vote for. Last go round, the list available included Duncan Hunter, Fred Thompson, Ron Paul, Rudy Guiliani, Mike Huckabee, John McCain, Mitt Romney and others.
The GOP voters voted for McCain. But I guess they don't have to take any personal responsibility in your world view. The media made them do it, following the direction of the "GOP elite", whoever the hell they are.
For your edification - McCain was the nominee because the GOP rank and file voted for him. They will also choose our next nominee.
“I sat home on election day. Many millions of others did as well.”
Not enough. When no GOP candidate anywhere gets more than a dozen votes, maybe the GOP will wake up.
“Hello xResident Obama. I won’t do it again. The country can’t afford it.”
Neither can the country afford any more RINOs. Will you ensure that freedom dies on Friday because you’re afraid that trying to save it will kill it on Thursday?
If we continue like this, freedom will die: Thursday, Friday, who cares? It can’t be saved without risk.
“The problem is the Republican Party is not conservative enough. That’s what needs to change.”
If the Republican Party is not conservative enough it is because qualified conservatives are not running or they can’t get elected.... I believe it is the first. The people elected to serve in the party reflect the character of the party.
We have to choose between Romneys and McCains vs. Obamas and Clintons because better people don’t step up, it’s as simple as that.
I agree with that.
“That sounds alot like a liberal argument to me.”
No, it doesn’t. It doesn’t sound like anything of the sort to you. You’re just trying to find a face-saving comeback, and can only do it by misrepresenting my remarks.
It is very interesting that people arguning liberal positions argue like liberals, even if they are otherwise conservative.
“We get the nominee the party voters vote for. Last go round, the list available”
Exactly. “The list available.” We get the nominee that the voters are conned into voting for from among those chosen by the party elite.
“But I guess...(Attempt to attribute nonsense to me follows.)”
Why don’t you argue against what I actually say? Can’t?
“For your edification - McCain was the nominee because the GOP rank and file voted for him. They will also choose our next nominee.”
For your edification, that is complete nonsense.
If it gets to that point, it won’t work any more than it did with McCain. If the base is holding its nose to vote, the independents look over and say, “If his own party doesn’t want him, why should I?” Furthermore, if the base isn’t excited, they don’t man the phones or pound the pavement, and if there’s a cloud in the sky, they say, “Well, he can squeak by without me.” Enough of them do, anyway.
The statement that McCain got the nomination because he won enough primaries is a stone cold fact.
You don't process facts well, so your screeching diversions from the factual are inane as well as wrong.
If you can't process facts, I can't help you.

It would be nice to see the Tea Party people out there protesting this phony.
