I agree. Believe me, I'm not happy about it.

would you all have felt better about a Romney that gets the nomination and loses in a landslide (in large part due to losing the hispanic vote)?

No, because your above scenario would put him in a worse position to win in 2012, than he is in now. Not that I believe your above scenario is what would have happened.

The election of Democrats itself is not. The policies they have promised to follow once in office, are.

The day before Mitt withdrew the NY Times printed a memo from Charles Black (working for McCain) that said Romney was mathematically eliminated. Black wrote that Romney would have to win every state, and by a landslide since some were not winner take all. He was mathematically eliminated. Only cranks stay in in those cirumstances. Mitt is too proud to be reduced to crank status, if nothing else. It wasn't brilliant to quit when he did. It would have been stupid to stay in. It would have been smarter to keep his mouth two days before rather than say he would slog on and be ground to dust, as Adam has noted.

Right. Still holding onto your theory that Iraq had something to do with 9/11 (and then taking another large leap to assume that leaving Iraq has something to do with terrorists "winning")?

Who are we fighting right now in Iraq that Obama and Hillary are itching so badly to pull back from? Last week they sent two young ladies with Downs Syndrome strapped with explosives into a public market and then detonated the girls remotely. We pull back and those terrorists win.

Tex, feel free to ignore that paragraph and go on accusing Hillary and Obama of surrender, retreat, defeatism, etc. I expect nothing less. |
