One doesn’t “implode” when one is hit by salvo after salvo of unrelenting bombardment. 

Unless that is you could describe the HMS Hood “imploding” after receiving a broadside from the Bismark!

The RNC, the Conservative establishment decided to destroy any viable alternatives to Romney, ——————— and now they’ll have to deal with the base moving to Paul.  The establishment STILL doesn’t understand the DEPTH and the INTENSITY of the DETERMINATION not to grant the nomination to Romney.

Watch Iowa go for Paul, after the most intelligent of the candidates had more cold steel rammed through his flesh than had Caesar at the foot of the statue of Pompey Magnus!

Unintended consequences!

Now by shivving and bombarding Gingrich, they’re going to make our entire nomination process resemble a sick joke if Paul emerges as the victor in Iowa.  After a full year of campaigning, how will our party look to the rest of the citizenry if the Iowa winner is a conspiratorial kook!

Unbelievable!

See there, what have I been telling you? The percentage of booger-eaters among Iowa Republican voters has risen five percent, from 18% to 23%. It’s like a damn disease. And no damn wonder. All this Whack-A-Mole bullshit would turn any sane person into a Paultard booger eater.

Now if you’ll excuse me, it’s time for breakfast.

Just imagine, as bad as Goldwater was beat, how much worse it would be with booger-eater Paul as the GOP standard bearer. Hell I might vote for Obama myself. Seriously though, you know that old saying. If Gingrich can’t take the heat, etc. You have to admit there’s a lot there to criticize. If he can’t handle it now, how is he going to handle Obama? Another point, Republicans are making themselves look silly with this constant shifting and changing with every strong gust of wind. I’m almost resigned to four more years of Obama.

Oh, —————- that was what that was, “heat?” 

As Levin said last week, “I resent and resist” the establishment dictating to me my nominee, especially a nominee as flawed, as heretical as Mitt Romney.

The establishment has so screwed this thing up that they’re dragging Obama back into a real race.

Perry and Bachmann have done yeoman’s work for the Romney campaign.

Perry by staying in a race that he’s become an embarrassment in, Bachmann by acting a tool in Romney’s hands.

Santorum’s ENTIRE campaign, ab initio, was always viewed by most as some weird, Quixotic journey, by a guy blown out by an inarticulate stiff, Bob Casey, jr.

The establishment, especially NR, has so screwed this up that we all need to go to God and implore his help for our country, for only now by prayer will we get a nominee and a new President equal to the challenges confronting us.

Reagan didn’t deem open prayer beneath him, as he openly begged God for help at the GOP Convention in 1980.

We need help.  And instead all we’re getting is garbage from NR.

God help us!

I’ve never for one moment thought Obama’s reelection likely.

But after watching the establishment unload salvo after salvo after salvo on Gingrich and things Gingrich, after watching these creatures pretend that they’re just “against” Gingrich and not really for Romney, after watching Bachmann obliterate whatever respect I and many another Conservative had for her, —————————————————- there’s no way to conclude anything else than that we’re up the proverbial creek, and without a proverbial clue.

Now the only way to drive Paul down and out is by unleashing on him, and Paul, as he did after Gingrich shut him up in the debate by quietly reminding the audience that “McVeigh succeeded,” Paul is a creature apt to nurse grievance and bitterness.

That idiot could very easily launch a 3d party bid or sow enough mischief to curtail overall Republican vote totals in November, 2012.

Instead of wisely maneuvering Paul off the stage entirely, thus minimizing his role and influence, instead of doing the same to a barely coherent Cain, the establishment deliberately allowed such creatures in so as to distribute all anti-Romney sentiment amongst a host of contenders.

This is a fricken’ disaster!

An apt assessment.

See that’s just the difference between you and most of Paul’s other supporters, the booger-eaters. Most of them won’t vote for anybody but Paul. I’ve even had them tell me they won’t vote for another Republican even if he, or Bachmann, was to put Booger Eater Jr. on the ticket. So what’s the use of pretending Paul is any more reasonable than his booger eating supporters?

The man that wrote those newsletters, what ones were not written by Paul himself using the First Person, was a man named Lew Rockwell, a longtime Paul friend and supporter, and who stands with Paul to this day. Paul has never disavowed them or him, and has gladly accepted money from leaders of Neonazi groups, refusing to return it when it was reported.

And I’m sorry, but when you go around making statements about how only 95% of blacks have sensible political opinions, and if a black man steals your wallet there’s no way you’ll be able to run him down and catch him because he’s too fast, and the only time crime is down in black neighborhoods is when its time to wait for the welfare check to arrive, that’s more than just a little politically incorrect, that’s jumping out of bed and out of the house wearing your bed sheet.

And you can talk all the shit you want about some phony probably liberal pollster saying Paul is competitive against Obama, but I can promise you one thing you’ll never see is a cross-lighting at a presidential inauguration. If Paul were to get the nomination he’d bring the GOP down to the most crushing defeat they’ve ever experienced. You can make book on that.

But the margins are now so fine that the establishment can’t take any chance but unload on Paul, and all things Paul.

And we know with Paul he doesn’t take criticism well.

He got into a tussle with Bachmann on stage, became incoherent, {he’s apt to do that…} read the next day that Bachmann supposedly “took him on” and almost immediately got on Leno and attacked Bachmann as a “hater.”

He did the same earlier to Gingrich when Gingrich shut him up by quietly reminding everybody that the Timothy McVeigh that Paul trivializes “succeeded.”  What then did Paul do?  Within 72 hours massive attack ads were unleashed against who?  Gingrich, that’s who.

Paul is a wild card.

A wise and prudent party leadership would have maneuvered him off the debate schedules altogether, thus marginalizing him. 

BUT the establishment wanted him, wanted Cain, wanted Bachmann too, likewise Santorum.  They wanted as many “Conservative” candidates as possible all so as to splinter up the overall non-Romney vote.

Then whenever any one guy seriously made a move in the polls over Romney, they went after him.

And now the unintended consequence of all this is that Paul’s numbers are moving northward.

This is serious shit!

This isn’t the minors here!

We’re about to go into THE Presidential election year with our nomination process in shambles, and the rank and file clearly perceiving the heavy hand of a hated establishment imposing their unwanted nominee on the party.

This is a disaster!

But she didn’t “tell the truth” about Romney “buying” votes.

Instead she tried to finger Gingrich for “buying” votes when we know that if any such attempt had been made it was made by Romney.

As for those, as you term them, “booger-eaters,” ———– those people have votes too, and there isn’t some device sifting rational votes from those that are irrational.    They all count.

Nor do I share your confidence that the Paulbots won’t show.  Heretofore they might not have shown because they never really had a chance to prevail.  But that’s not the case now, is it?

As for Bachmann, she proven to be a one-trick  pony in the debates. 

We can do better than her.

Santorum would be preferable to Bachmann.

And Gingrich to both.

Demick you must have misread my comment. It was Finrod who said the Paultards wouldn’t show I was the one disputing his point.

As for Santorum being preferable to Bachmann I remind you of how Santorum joined with Romney in putting down Gingrich for telling the truth about the Palestinians. Santorum and Romney doesn’t think its wise to tell the truth about them, nor do they think the American people deserve to hear the unvarnished truth. Bachmann was the only one who backed Gingrich up.

But you do have a point about Bachmann being a one trick pony. The name of that pony is THE CONSTITUTION!

Crazy is not only believing weird stupid shit someone tells you, but repeating it in front of a national audience like she did while accusing Perry over Gardisil.

I note you haven’t taken my bet.

According to the polls, the only candidate who consistently polls even or above Obama is Paul.    He won’t get the nomination, but hypothetically speaking….if he did, the establishment would run a third party candidate against him. Trump comes to mind, as does Bloomberg.  There shouldn’t be any doubt that the GOP would rather have Obama in office than a principled small government conservative.   Obama is no threat to the status quo.

Apparently it’s turned a normally rational fellow conservative into a liberal, name-calling Obama voter.  Paultard? Booger eater?  

Real Republicans might not, but conservatives would.   

Why should I make a crazy damn bet like that? I never insisted Paul would win, I’m just saying you’re dead wrong if you think the Paultards won’t show up in any significant numbers, which was what you said. I said they would, and they would definitely be a factor, not necessarily that Paul would win. I do say there’s a damn good chance he will.

Real conservatives care more about beating Obama than they do about making some shitty point with a protest vote.

So Gingrich should be immune from criticism?  Elect him, and it may come true. 

But his fall in Iowa is at least as much because of Paul’s hard-hitting TV and radio campaign against him as anything “conservatives” or “establishment” Republicans have offered up.

A one-time item might be excused as “not written by Paul” but a lifetime of similar stuff in the newsletters cannot be discounted.  Neither can the wild things he’s said about AIDS or his relationship with Alex Jones and the Truthers.

Paul is insane.

Conservatives will not support that insane little hypocrite.  Your “man of principle” has been one of the leading Republican House earmarkers and pork-spenders for 20 years (top three, last ten years through 2010).  He loads his spending in committee or in conference, then votes “NO” on the final bill (sure to pass anyway) as a “vote of conscience against spending,” knowing his supporters are too stupid or stoned to figure out the deception.

Don’t completely count on this assumption.  People are very angry.
