Santorum's Losses are Obama's Gains

I’m very disappointed that Santorum lost the Arizona primary; I knew it’d be close in Michigan and that hurt too. Some will say his appeals to Democrats in Michigan and his “Snob” comment about Obama hurt his chances which I don’t believe is true. Instead it was the main stream media that did everything possible to take those 2 issues and his one weak debate performance and say he was through. It must have worked because it convinced many t
o roll over and vote for Romney.

Still…I can’t believe for the life of me why Romney could win by such a large margin in a state that produced Barry Goldwater. What happened to the Conservatives in AZ? It’s beyond my understanding. Super Tuesday is the last stand for Santorum. The MSM will play up Romney’s wins yesterday and try to tell all us dummies that don’t support him that it’s a foregone conclusion that he’s going to be the nominee.

I pray that it isn’t. Romney is a very flawed candidate; it’s going to be extremely difficult for him to beat Obama in the general. Romneycare is his Achilles heel not to mention his previous stand on Global Warming. The Democrat Party, Obama, and the MSM will paint Romney as the very definition of a RINO, a Country Club Republican and Wall Street lackey. You can beat the Obama campaign will hammer that home the day Romney secures the nomination. I will of course vote for Romney if he wins the nomination because as much as I don't like him, nor fully trust him he’ll be an improvement over Obama.    

The other thing that gripes the ear wax out of me is that the moronic Ron Paul should have dropped out of the race after Colorado, Missouri and Minnesota primaries.

Instead he and his group of drones have basically killed any chance that Santorum or Gingrich would have had to win the nomination. Its incredibility frustrating that Paul and his over inflated ego couldn’t put his own party and the future of the country first. Paul is an idiot plain and simple and I’m glad his 8 year campaign for President is nearly over. I support some of the ideals the Libertarian Party believes in but Paul was not and is not the man to lead that effort. Maybe now the Libertarians will produce a younger more articulate candidate come the 2016 election cycle. If the right man or woman comes forward I wouldn’t have a problem considering them as a candidate.  

That said you can bet this won’t derail him or his blind followers who probably still believe he can win the nomination by voting for him on Super Tuesday. On the surface it would appear nothing could have stopped the loss in AZ for Santorum but if Paul and Gingrich had stepped aside before maybe just maybe Santorum would have had 2 wins yesterday.

Santorum with all of his flaws was the best candidate in the race this election cycle and it’s a crying shame that more moderate Republicans can’t understand that he would make a harder right turn when it comes to spending and downsizing the massive federal bureaucracy than any of the others in the race.

I fear that if Romney doesn’t win the Presidency that the Republican Party as we know it is finished. What will likely happen after the election is that a 3rd party will emerge because the GOP has failed big time at producing more fiscally conservative candidates. After Reagan’s second term there really has not been a single GOP candidate who can articulate the right message that could sway voters and help lead us back to fiscal sanity and smaller government.

Part of the reason for it is that Social Conservatives want abortion and gay rights to be front and center. I have mixed feelings about both but don’t want to go on a crusade to object to either today. I understand the moral dilemma but as a party the GOP should be focusing on reducing the size and scope of this bloated cow that is drowning us all in a massive crushing debt. It’s killing any chance for us to make an economic recovery. The Democrats in combination with the MSM have proven time again that they’ll use those social issues to scare away any Moderate Republicans, Independents or right of center Democrats that may have been willing to support a strong fiscally conservative Republican candidate for President.    

As it is for us hardcore Fiscal Conservatives we’ll have to let go and let God and hope that someday some way in 2016 we can get a handle on power and bring some fiscal security back to our bankrupt nation. Even if it means turning our allegiance over to a 3rd party.

Come on voters please get behind Santorum on Super Tuesday and let’s reverse course on this 3 year nightmare we’ve been living in. It’s not too late... please.
