What an extreme disappointment to listen to the variety of Republican Party pundits over the last few days. The profound lack of understanding of how disenchanted the GOP is with the RWC (Right Wing Conspiracy) is stupefying. All we hear is McCain is not a Conservative, the true Conservative is Romney and Huckabee is just a fluke and has no chance. A vote for him is taking the win away from Romney, think again maybe some of them are anti-Romney votes and anti-McCain votes, and the only way the republican voters can show the RWC how extremely annoyed they really are with all the candidates. Although, I guess maybe that's why we have Ron Paul, sorry Dr. Paul.
Thanks a lot! Maybe if the RWC had been with the members of the GOP in supporting either the Hawk RUDY or the conservative Fred, we would not all be so forlorn. I literally drug myself to the polls today and cast my ballot. For the first time in years not feeling like there was anyone on my party ticket that I was excited about at all, or believed would make a good President.
I do not care or believe that Romney has had an awakening on the Abortion issue, too little to late and too conveniently timed for a Presidential bid. I don't think we will get conservative judges from him, RUDY or Fred would have done better. Romney also will get slaughtered in the General election by either Obama or by Clinton. He has NO CHANCE. And I can't believe Republicans have such big blinders on and such effective earplugs that they can't see or hear that the majority of people do not like him at all. Romney lacks Obama's passion, his only hope is that Clinton gets the nod and he gets the anti-Hillary vote, because no one is Yippee it's Romney. Forget about Romney getting any independents, because it looks like Hillary is already colluding with Bloomberg to enter the race to pull that vote. Don't forget that both times a Clinton sat in the White House it was due to a Third Party candidate that was able to siphon off votes from the Republicans and capture independents. He's even picking his states, I'm sure they will all be battleground states.
As for McCain, he's an old horse, who has led us astray too many times to count. And don't forget his temper which he displayed so adeptly during the run against BUSH. I am not excited about his chances against Clinton; she knows every button to push and every skeleton. There will be no discussion of ideas or issues, just out of bounds personal attacks.
Huckabee gives a good speech and a nice debate, but I'm really not sure about his Presidential chops. He knows the Clintons but will probably get eaten alive by them in a general election due to his lack of funding. As for a run against Obama, we might actually hear some ideas going back and forth, as neither of the two seem to be an extreme mud thrower. But again YIPES.
So thanks again VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY for elbowing out the likable, and leaving us with the distasteful. No wonder people are keeping their contributions in their pockets; the GOP is not being listened to at all. Our legislators are not doing what we elect them to do and our candidates do not make you want to run to the polls and cast your votes.
I'm starting to think the Vast RWC has been infiltrated by moles that are set on tearing apart the party and giving a free ride to the other side. Get your heads out of the country clubs and talk to the people at your church, your schools and in the coffee shops and even the local pubs, their conservative, but their mad as hell with the candidate choices.
All this being said GET OUT AND VOTE, make the best choice you can.
