Santorum's organization can't even manage to get on the ballot everywhere in key states. Gingrich is a loose cannon. Bachman was nuts. Perry destroyed himself in the debates. Pawlenty was my candidate, but he dropped out way too early. So this is not about the "establishment" at all, but just an unfortunate lineup that we have to make the best of. At least Romney seems to have a high degree of personal integrity, and is well spoken of by the people that work with him. He also seems to be able to manage the details of his campaign quite well. Since he is what we are left with, I am going to put the best face on it I can.

He will<br />similiarly f things up with a xanaxed non-agressive approach to Obama afraid to "offend" the brown-skinned and black folks in any way, even though the have already totally rationalizing voting on ethnic pride lines. Obama's support of subsidized non-procreation and crapping on Rush was brilliant, considering his poor performance as President and his massive mistakes on the economy and foreign affairs. The only thing missing is another " chicken in every pot" issue, which Obama wll find.<br />Finally David Axelrod is just salivating, waiting to portray Mitt as a member of a weird cult, outside the mainstream of Judeo-Christian values, while Obama, on the other hand, goes to church... somewhat. Pity the poor Mormon religion when Obama's surrogates get through with them.<br /><br />The only bright side is that if they are smart, Netanyahu, Barak, and Gantz realize they need to bomb away before Barry the Appeaser gets re-elected in November. - TupacAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-67238368087540107842012-03-12T14:46:53.664-04:002012-03-12T14:46:53.664-04:00Was this a cleansing of the political soul for con...Was this a cleansing of the political soul for conceding to the inevitable.<br /><br />Maybe I misread, But,We Surrender Again, is the message I got.

And has done it.”<br /><br />One way of looking at this year’s election is: A slate of non-entities versus The Entity in the White House. Obama is so evil and so destructive and so supercilious that were the Marx Brothers running against each other and against Obama, voters would probably choose Harpo and accept Groucho as a running mate for comic relief (to continue in Biden’s role, but the one-liners would be more entertaining). For a crucial watershed election year, the Republican prospects are as dismal as faded wallpaper. One almost needs to not blink lest one miss any of the Republican contenders as they appear on news wrap-ups. Romney has all the charisma of a second-rate department store window mannequin. Santorum is a scary religious crackpot. Ron Paul is a libertarian moon bat. Gingrich has the appeal of a used-car salesman, edging out Richard Nixon’s reputation. But any of these choices, in voters’ eyes, is better than the Creature from the Marxist Lagoon and all its slimy, parasitical offspring. <br /><br />Instead of a knock-down, drag-out boxing match, we are being treated to a Martha Graham ballet interpretation of Bleeding Kansas, chock full of leaps and twists and pirouettes and other movements that defy interpretation or meaning.Edward Clinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12160209827969614964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-65339161821427647572012-03-12T07:28:15.477-04:002012-03-12T07:28:15.477-04:00As usual a very thought provoking article, Daniel,...As usual a very thought provoking article, Daniel, but I am one of those "not Romney" folks. I didn't like him before he became the fair haired boy of the GOP, and I don't like him now. I will not vote for him in the general election, and have already decided to sit out the primaries. <br /><br />If the video I posted at my blog yesterday gets any legs it is really going to hurt Romney in the general election. When I posted it there had already been over 11,000 viewers after only being posted at Youtube for a short period of time.<br /><br />It's a video that I believe was made by a Democrat when Romney was running for governor in which he gleefully talks about how much money he scammed from the US government for the Olympics, and how he would use those same tactics as governor. It really does not look good at all. It disgusted me, so I had to post it without commentary.<br /><br />I have never been so depressed over politics in my life. I don't like having anything forced on me. I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only conservative who feels this way. <br /><br />The GOP will lose this election because they have refused to listen to the base, and the Republicans in Congress appear to be the epitome of weakness and cowardice when confronting the unconstitutional acts of the current regime.<br /><br />It's very sad to me, and as an older voter I have much guilt because my generation has let it come to this.American Geniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06514913997568552456noreply@blogger.com
