Watching the hackneyed direction the GOP establishment, the political pundits, the media, and the various candidates have gone in this primary season has been painful, yet predictable to say the least. The best I can say is we have seen the typical side of establishment politics as deja vu all over again.
Let me first say I am a conservative activist and am not for or against any one of the Presidential candidates. That is not what this is about. This is about principles and establishment politics showing it's polished and varnished to shiny gloss ability to remove the American people from the process in a way other than it was intended to be. Giving them little to no relevance in the selection process.
Throughout all of the debates, throughout all of the campaigning there has been one candidate foisted on the public. That candidate is Mitt Romney. Whether he is the right candidate or not remains to be seen. The fact-of-the-matter is, when another candidate makes strides ahead of Romney, that candidate is viciously attacked by all political sides. This factor alone shoes how the forces above unite to separate the American electorate as if we are entering the Twilight Zone of a solipsistic world. Their politically, self-contained world where it is a token "say so" given to the common people for posterities sake.
I have a huge bit or realistic news for them....most of the American voters are not loyal to a Party. Most of the American voters are becoming frustrated with politics as usual and are at the same time, becoming more educated.
How many polls have we seen where the top issues for voters are "jobs", or a variation of this? The economy. The deficit. We have heard debates with every predictable or erratic response the candidates can conjure up. Politicians and the empty media's rendition of mere subjects, not issues. Please! They are testing our intelligence again.
Other than idle pledges, empty promises backed and supported by whose views? Which Presidential candidate has stated not only what they would do, but also how they would accomplish it?
The voters have heard the promises already....over and over. We heard them in 2010 from Congressional and Senatorial candidates and incumbents. We heard how they were going to cut spending. We heard how they were going to put legislation in place to protect and grow our economy. What has happened? The Congress has forfeited their duty to a "Super Committee" on the budget, which turned out to be a "Super Failure". The current President has bypassed the Senate for his appointments and executive orders. The Congress has passed numerous bills to attempt to undo damage caused by the previous Congress, only to be blocked by the Senate. The Merry-Round-House, where they obviously meet in the middle and play ring-around-the-rosy while the American citizens continue to suffer and become meaningless.
The GOP will lose this Presidential election for all the above reasons and because they will continue to make bad choices with the Vice-President nomination. I am already hearing rumors that Mitt Romney has spoken with Meg Whitman for this position, who, regardless of the amount of money poured into her California Governor's race, lost decisively.
When is the GOP going to wake up to the fact that there are just some candidates that can never win no matter how much money they have? For that matter, when are both Party's going to realize this? Money does not mean success in politics today. It may have been true in the past, but the electorate is awake, educated, and uninterested in the overused re-runs.
No matter what Party the people belong to, they are not willing to stand idly or silently by while the powers that be decide what candidate is best for them. Nor are they willing to stand by while the Party foists candidates upon them that have instituted policies not consistent with our values, heritage, and traditions. No more taking away the precious freedoms from our hands and giving them to greedy politicians who think they are above the natural law or "We The People".
The GOP will go down faster than the Olympic Schuss if they don't wake up and wise up!
Note to the Political Party's: Do you remember this? The Tea Party Movement Has Changed Everything

Comment by Glenn D. Hoxie on February 7, 2012 at 6:55pm He is against gun ownership which says it all and the reason I won't vote for him even if he is the only one of the GOP ticket. I will right in RON PAUL just to stick a dagger in the GOP RINO establishment.
Comment by Rolda on February 7, 2012 at 6:53pm Debrajoe,
Had a lady come to my voter registration table the other day and ask what the quickest way was to get the R out from behind her name. I could find no words to dissuade her and I have been a life long 'pub and you know what? I told her the quickest way. And I am with you, right after this election, it will be lights out. Maybe we will be able to hold a monumental burial!
Comment by Barry Gabrielson on February 7, 2012 at 6:53pm Look who is representing the face of the Republican Party, John Bonehead and Mitch McCavin.
Are you kidding me! This is the best this party has to offer? Its like listening to Gumby and Pokey.
There is not a backbone between them. Its like negotiating with the French army, after the army puts down their arms before the fights start. Two hot wind bags, all talk, no action.
Comment by Edward M. Plitt on February 7, 2012 at 6:53pm The GOP, has already reelected Obama. This is due solely to the choices the offered us. It might as well have been Bob Dole all over again.
Comment by Dara on February 7, 2012 at 6:52pm Agree with all of you to an extent. Not sure I agree with a third party per se, because our system is intended to be a two party system. However, if the third party was to replace one of the two major political party's I would go along with that.
Comment by Jim Hoff on February 7, 2012 at 6:51pm The GOP isn't going to wake up. The Tea Party needs to step up to the plate. The day after the 2012 elections the Tea Party should formally organize and proceed to win the House, Senate and President in 2016. The Tea Party will help sweep many more conservatives into office in 2012. I'm not sure they will help with the Presidency way more congressional seats will be won in the name of the GOP, but in reality they will be Tea Party conservatives. The GOP should die a natural death in November. The have failed America....
Comment by Sharron Deer on February 7, 2012 at 6:49pm It's long past time to start a third party.
Comment by Rights4Right on February 7, 2012 at 6:46pm Wow! Dara...this is profound and very to the point of the subject "We The People" are trying to get across to Conservative America. Everyone, do something...we'll make a difference. Be a poll watcher...even better to prevent voter fraud.
Kick them all out...except a handful...like Allen West and those like him. The rest...toast, history, gone!!!
Comment by Debrajoe Smith-Beatty on February 7, 2012 at 6:42pm The GOP party is on death door. Right after the 2012 election I am going to give it the "Last Rites."
