Conservative thought leaders – The time is now to reject Moderate as the nominee!

By: krish (Diary)  |  February 28th, 2012 at 02:49 AM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

I am sick & tired of Rush, Sarah Palin, De Mint sitting on the sidelines while the conservatives are struggling the primary while a MA moderate Romney, with the help of Libertarian fraud, is taking over the primary.  I can understand their non-support of a particular candidate but at least they should clearly tell the republican primary voters to avoid Romney & Ron Paul!

Rush & Hannity do not want to antagonize any supporter & lose their ratings & dollars.  Also, Rush’s big ego will not let him support somebody & his candidates loses!  Down the road, when Romney loses big time to Obama, he will shamelessly take credit that he called it!  Most of these conservative media types lost their credibility (except Savage & may be Levin) when they kept their mouths shut when Bush was spending like there is no tomorrow!

Sarah Palin is supporting indirectly – she does not want to antagonize the RINO establishment…not sure why?  She has the support of the conservative & tea party base.  Her credibility will only go up if she says to avoid Romney & Paul! DeMint also needs to come out & help out the conservatives now!  He needs to show the courage to go against establishment – he expects that from other freshmen senators during votes. It is all about power – Power corrupts even good people!

“The only thing necessary for the triumph of a MA liberal first & later a Socialist is for good men/women to do nothing”

    Why are the leaders of my thoughts doing this?!!!

      Most people don’t pay attention and go with the flow. My mom was like that. She said she didn’t want to waste her vote by voting for the loser. Today, I am very happy that being a rebel is my nature and have nearly always voted for the losers (in the primary anyway). It’s a tough life, but at least it says something for principle.

    They are politicians and they are looking at the polls. And worse, in the case of Paul, they are looking at the crowds. My son is a Paulbot (God help me), and I can relate to Joe Scarborough’s pain on this. Today he showed me a youtube video of Paul at Michigan State with a crowd of 4000 people. You think Sarah Palin is going to speak out against that? Of course not. She’s a politician. She sees voters.

    It gets worse. Newt has taken to legitimizing Paul’s position on Afghanistan by admitting defeat:

    Think about that. At a time when Santorum needs to win Michigan to keep Romney at bay, Newt is blasting Santorum. He knows that if Santorum wins Michigan, and somehow pulls out Arizona, he’s cooked.

    The truth is, this party is pulling itself apart. Just yesterday, there were posters on this forum saying they’d vote for Green party candidates over Paul and let Obama get the victory if Paul got hte nomination. That blows my mind on Redstate. That’s the ultimate in cutting off our noses to spite our face. I hate Gingrich, but I’d vote for him if it were down to him and Obama. I’ll say the same for Romney. I’ll say the same for Paul.

      The whole ‘our Party is pulling itself apart’ meme is just not something that a real conservative Republican would conclude.

      We see the conservative side fighting hard to keep from being overwhelmed by the Establishment. We’ll side with any of a half dozen different conservatives to make this happen.

      When Creedo says, “I hate Gingrich”, he’s taking himself out of consideration. I believe that he probably does hate Newt. The rest of his post, which he makes on several articles, is just fluff to support his prejudice.

      The whole false pose of “I’m really one of you but I *hate* our candidates and what is ‘happening to our Party’, is pure, classic ‘concern troll’.

      This guy should go back to the HuffPo where he can hate conservatives with impunity.

    Romney showed his cards already. He seems to be focused on an aggressive foreign policy and insulating Wall Street from the “rabble.”

    His handlers think the economy fill fix itself and that domestic issues aren’t superbly important.

    He had his chance to say the right things to the right people but he didn’t. He’s shrugged off conservatives completely for defense hawks and those who think the financial sector should be protected from any sort of bad sentiment.

    It seems that the establishment is paranoid about the mob.

    It seems like they think that running someone who liberals consider the least dangerous to their jihad on moral values and domestic fiscal issues will allow them to waltz into the White House unopposed.

    It’s as if they think that as long as they don’t anger the gay activists, labor unions, and those who demand higher taxes on the 1% they’ll manage to start another war or protect Wall Street from pitchfork wielding peasants.

    Listen to Romney ? He sounds like the guy who is ready to fold to Democrats on certain wedge issues if he’s allowed to pursue very narrow interests.

    Do they think Bush only got flack for Iraq for being a social conservative? Do they think Obama gets away with his foreign policy just because he’s liberal?

    For Romney to get a pass from the media and liberals he would have to switch parties and actively voice support for the establishment of the Democrat party. It’s misguided to think Romney can beat Obama for avoiding to step on the toes of wedge issue activists.

    there are no “conservatives” in the GOP race at the moment. So what do you propose they do?

    • xymbaline

      That one of the great Conservatives of the 20th Century, an ally of Reagan and the architect of the Contract With America, is still in the race.
