Remember in Lord of the Rings, Return of the King when the King of Rohan and his horse are attacked by the Wraith King riding the Nazgûl.   The beast is about to feed on the fallen king who lies mortally wounded, when his neice jumps up to defend him.  The Ringwraith declares:  “Do not come between the Nazgul and his prey…” 

Well you know how that turned out. 

This article reminds me of that movie scene.   Hewitt is a ringwraith for Lord Romney. 

Okay, okay, Romney does not have the gravitas to be evil Lord Sauron. 

Now don’t get me wrong, even a broken clock is right twice a day.  Hewitt is right we should not trust or encourage Trump.  Rush Limbaugh said today Trump is a trojan horse for Obama.  If Trump runs, Republicans lose.  But we all know who Hewitt is in the bag for. 

From Matt Lewis’s twitter feed: I wonder if MoveOn or DailyKos will finally get to ask a question on today’s Romney conference call…             

Romney’s people sound like prog d-bags. I am so sick of “republicans” catering to the Obama-shilling leftist media who the hell do these idiots think will be voting in the GOP primaries anyway? If a Republican candidate wants the respect of  conservative voters, they should try talking with conservative media because most of us don’t bother with puffho or the Daily Kos. They need to realize that Conservative bloggers exist and that the dinosaur media is circling the drain. Wouldn’t it be nice if the GOP joined the 21st century?

If Romney gets the nomination, my vote will go to either a) the non-D/R who best represents a constitutional candidate or b) a write-in for “None Of These Bozos”. I refuse to vote again for a statist wearing an “R” badge. Remember, when you choose between the lesser of two evils, you’re still choosing evil.

Good….good….(evil grin)

Paul is unelectable because he is so fundamentally wrong on issues like foreign policy.  But the GOP really does not have a lot of good options this election.  So my guess they will go with either Romney or Gingrich, as the least bad (as least as the party elites see it), blandest picks of the bunch. 

…and who did you vote for in ’08, RSM? Bob Barr, wasn’t it?

Paul’s column is devastating, indeed.  With regard to his Rockefeller republican comment, I was a little surprised to read in his Wiki article recently that Newt was the southern regional director for NelsonR.  in 1968.  He would have been only 25 at the time.

For an even more devastating tome on Newt, check Ann Coulter’s latest.  Ouch!

Rick Santorum?

Write in Cain?

Although the unions in Pennsylvania would love the public works work. 

My family and I will vote third party if Romney is the pick. I can vote for Bachmann, possibly for Santorum, hold my nose for Newt and Perry, and maybe even hold my nose for Ron Paul. But I will NOT vote for Romney under any circumstances. And I have heard the same from more than a few others.

Vote for  Bob Barr? Write-in Snoopy?

All this should come as no surprise.

Romney’s a charter member in the GOP  aka The Stupid Party.

A vote has two main effects. It’s primary effect is to select a new president. It’s secondary effect is to signal to the party putting a candidate forward what kind of candidate is acceptable.

If the primary effect is largely meaningless, either because the candidates are of very like minds re: policy, say a contest between Bill Clinton and John McCain, or the outcome is predetermined, say a contest between Not GW Bush and Any Republican, the secondary effect becomes determinative.

So if I determine that the election is already lost, or that the candidate put forward by the GOP is not capable of making any significant difference in the trajectory of the country, it is my obligation to point out to the party what a disaster their choice is. Since I haven’t enough donation money to get their attention, my vote is the only currency I have to bargain with.

Of course, the GOP has repeatedly demonstrated that they are incapable of learning from experience, as learning would require the removal of dozens of professional parasites. As Sinclair Lewis said:  “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it!”

It occurred to me earlier something that might make any GOP candidate win the general election. They need to ask Rand Paul to be their running mate. That way most of Ron’s pod people will vote for the GOP ticket.

As an independent I can choose who I want to vote for without any of this nonsense.  And if it’s Romney, he can kiss my ass.

Unless you have some conservative reporter who was on the conference and didn’t get to ask a question, it’s just more fabricated garbage.  Romney’s campaign says everyone who wanted to ask a question was answered on this call, unlike most.

I haven’t seen any indication it was any different than any other phone conference call with questions.  You are signed in when you access the number, then connected.  At some point the facilitator tells you to press “#” or “1″ if you have a question. 

People who’ve been on many of these calls know to press the second they tell you which button, as time will limit the number who get through. 

But it’s nothing unusual for some people to threaten to leave the party over crap like this which someone apparently pulled out of their butt. 

Hell,  just cut out the middle man and vote for Obama.  Why pretend you don’t want him to win?

And yet Matt wasn’t even ON the call, although invited, because he had better things to do.

Whiny little prig.  Well, it’s the Daily Caller, after all. 

Romney sucks and will not be President.
