The GOP is throwing it all away. \u00a0I am a die-hard Newt guy not because I have always liked him for the job (I didn’t, and said so all over this blog), but because Romney is just a bunch of McCain\/GOP fail. \u00a0This sack of Establishment fertilizer will lose.<\/p>\n
[pullquote]his illegitimate offspring, RomneyCare[\/pullquote]In the very first GOP debate, Mitt Romney showed why he cannot defeat Obama. \u00a0All he needed to do was cast off his illegitimate offspring, RomneyCare. \u00a0\u201dI have already implemented your program, and ten years down the road, I can tell you\u2013it simply does not work.\u201d \u00a0How hard would that have been?<\/p>\n
Instead, he chose to stand on the fact that the states can and should do a great many things that the federal government should not. \u00a0It\u2019s just a plank and it\u2019s a good one, but not enough to make a platform. \u00a0He has been either defending or avoiding that core failure ever since.<\/p>\n
[pullquote]We deserve a Tea Party Candidate[\/pullquote]His defense of RomneyCare is partly rooted in a genuine belief, and partly from the timid foot-dragging and risk aversion which plagues the GOP. \u00a0Crap like this is why we have a Tea Party. \u00a0We deserve a Tea Party Candidate. \u00a0I don\u2019t want a candidate who runs due to some perverse sense of duty, or whatever it is that semi-animates these zombie candidates with coiffed hair and fake smiles.<\/p>\n
[pullquote]Newt Gingrich has been taking it to Obama while Romney has been sandbagging conservatives[\/pullquote]I\u2019m not overly concerned with style, but I do believe that if you are truly fired up about your ideas, and possess the stones that it\u2019s going to take to prevail against Washington\u2019s Wall of Socialism, then it will show not only in the things you say, but in the way you speak. \u00a0Newt Gingrich has been taking it to Obama while Romney has been sandbagging conservatives, in order to secure a a RINO candidacy.<\/p>\n
I could have supported Romney this time around, except that he has demonstrated his complete lack of ability to get it right this year. \u00a0We now face a radically different set of problems than we did in 2008, so don\u2019t sell me the old stuff. \u00a0It\u2019s not working, and as a phenomenally successful businessman, Mitt Romney should understand that.<\/p>\n
[pullquote]has not faced the Democrat machine[\/pullquote]The fact is that if he is the nominee, the dirt on Romney will not be public until the general election. \u00a0For all his busy busy schedule, he has been facing Republicans. \u00a0He has not faced the Democrat machine in over a decade, and he will be blown away by it.<\/p>\n
