At this present time we have a broken political system and a broken electorate and a country fighting for its moral soul.
The GOP primary system was hi-jacked by the moderates, democrats in blue states and the elite Rinos in the GOP who wanted their establishment candidate Mitt Romney to win at all cost the primary.
Rick Satorum won a whole lot of Conservative/Republican states but it never was enough to beat Romney because the system was set up for the Liberal states to be winner take all and to be with more delegates.
The GOP-E manipulated the system to get their guy in. Even attacking their own when they saw that Romney was the wrong guy and too weak to take on Obama.
GOP-E wanted this mess. They are the ones responsible for the situation of having a bad candidate with plenty of baggage and to weak to defend himself. They brainwashed people who will be hurt by him should he win and will likely turn on Romney like people did with George W.Bush.
So if we had guts, we’d run a tea party candidate. But the tea party is too confused now to know what to do.
So there are different groups of people out there who cannot seem to see eye to eye with each other within the GOP.
1. Moderates and establishment types who attacked all conservative candidates and the tea party. They went for Romney from day one.
2. Libertarians who have their own agenda and they ran Ron Paul to destroy the GOP and helped Romney out by attacking the conservative candidates for him.
3. Misguided Conservatives who will vote Romney instead of actively protesting him and demanding a better candidate. Who just did not get what was going on the last several years in the GOP and why Bush was no good.
Now I get that some are now voting Romney because they are afraid of Obama. I’m referencing those who are all about voting the so-called nominee because the GOP media wants it that way and say junk like those who don’t vote for him are electing Obama or some nonsense. Not those since the health care ruling who are upset and feel like they have to defeat Obama. I understand. But that is why I am unhappy with Romney as the nominee because he is no opposition to Obama.
We need a Joe Walsh, Allen West, Sarah Palin, and Scott Walker type candidate and not Mitt Romney.
People like me feel differently than the misguided conservatives.
5. We are people who want a new candidate and not Romney. Worried about him as the nominee and what it could do to the conservative movement. We also can’t come to defend the guy because we couldn’t defend him in the primary and instead attacked him. Actually he is not our guy because he is not conservative at all. Also we don’t care what others think because we’ve had it with the GOP-Elite. They are the road block to defeating liberals and Obama.
We feel like Ann Barnhart who told Romney to go home and then saw people walk out of some speech she made for daring to mention the GOP elite. Some so-called conservatives just do not get it. But nobody has the balls to run a tea party or conservative candidate. The GOP has neutered us.
And so that is the situation at hand. Therefore I’m voting for Virgil Goode and if he does not make the ballot in my state, I’ll either write him in or write in Palin.
I wish I knew why Sarah Palin really did not run. And why Michele Bachmann did not do a good job. What I do recall is conservatives were deeply divided about whom to back and it
did not help matters.
I can’t stand Obama. I can’t stand Romney. I want both of them defeated. So as someone said...We lost when Romney won.
I personally wanted Bachmann to win the primary then I backed Cain and Santorum. I hope we can find someone else like Allen West or Sarah Palin to run.
