Rush Sounds off on Iowa Caucus: Ron Paul ‘It’s Over,’ Santorum ‘Won,’ ‘Newt’s in This to Destroy Romney Now’

Conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh gave an in-depth analysis of the results from yesterday’s Iowa caucus.
Limbaugh started his monologue by playfully gloating over the fact that many political analysts were incorrect when they predicted that the GOP presidential nomination would come down to a fight between former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich and former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney. He also went on to say that Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) was the “loser” from last night’s caucus because he didn’t get enough votes.
Who did Limbaugh think was the winner ?
The clear and evident winner from last night’s caucus, according to the talk show host, was former Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
“Santorum won last night. That’s the bottom line here. Romney did not increase over what he got in 2008 with a little bit higher turnout,” Limbaugh said today on his show.
“Ron Paul, coming in third, as he did with as many independents—it’s over. This was not a big night for Ron Paul. When you get down to brass tacks it was a disappointment,” Limbaugh said.
He then went on to talk about a “ticked-off” Newt Gingrich and predicted that the former Speaker of the House will most likely remain in the race just to inflict damage on Mitt Romney. It’s personal, according to Limbaugh.
“He’s mad. Newt is ticked off. He is livid over the negative ads that Romney ran – well, Romney’s PAC – ran against him in Iowa. And it’s true! It’s safe to say that Romney’s ads took Newt out,” Limbaugh said. “Newt’s not getting out. Newt’s in this to destroy Romney now.”
And Limbaugh may not be too far off in his prediction. Earlier today, Gingrich went on the offensive against Romney.
“Governor Romney was first an independent, then repudiated Reagan-Bush, then voted for Paul Tsongas, the most liberal candidate in the ‘92 campaign, then ran to the left of Teddy Kennedy in 1994, then became a moderate to run for governor in 2002, and then with Romneycare, for example, that included state-funded abortions and specifically designating Planned Parenthood as a part of Romneycare, appointed liberal judges in order to placate Democrats and raised taxes on businesses, which I think is a job-killing approach,” Gingrich said in one very comprehensive sentence.
“I find it amazing that the news media continues to say he‘s the most electable Republican when he can’t even break out of his own party,” Gingrich went on to say, adding finally: “Governor Romney will get the message.”

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 9:20pmSantorum is going to get his time to rise and fall just as the rest did. The fix is in for Romney.
I am still voting for Ron Paul
Why would anyone vote for a crazed … we got to bomb Iran Santorum?
Gingrich is not going to win now and he knows it… he goes completely negative to destroy Romney the establishment’s choice who has been coming out pretty squeaky clean bc nobody seems to want to take him on
Perry has the money to make a come back, but I still think he lost a lot of votes bc of how he performed in the debates. He seems like a nice guy who likes using Executive orders wayyy too much.
Bachmann is gone now. She was playing too nice to Romney to get his VP and I gave up on her after she supported the Patriot Act AND NDAA.
Your freedoms are at stake here and there are liars on both sides of the aisle. I choose the true consistent Conservative, Ron Paul. I know where he stands and he will NOT get us into a war with Iran, he will restore the constitution and he is the only one who has a real plan to significantly cut the government

Rush will not allow this country to be restored to the greatness that the founding fathers had envisioned, he wants it recreated in his personal image to glorify him.

I’ll stick to the one who believes individual mandates are unconstitutional, and that Hospitals, private citizens, charitable organizations, and Churches should have more responsibility and freedom over the care of the sick and needy. The one who has fought every attempt to infringe upon our right to bear and keep arms. The one who has served in the US Air Force, and understands the principles of non-aggression, defense, and Just war. The one who wants our troops to defend our own country. The one who desires trade, friendship, commerce and diplomacy with foreign Nations. The one who will build a strong National defense and be ready against imminent threats or immediate attacks, without spreading our military too thin around the world. The one who will adhere to the Constitution and seek We the People to declare War. The one who will not start fights by his sole Executive discretion, and on his terms. The one who acknowledges our massive debt, and the need to do some serious cutting in Government spending.

According to Iowa exit polling Ron Paul was…

#2 with evangelicals
BTW, he lost by three percent. Iowa was a very close race. Paul has been able to keep a steady support, and is slowly but surely rising. He is in second or within the top three in NH and SC.

Iran with nukes will run up oil prices. Check out how much oil is used in every day products. I was happy to hear Santorum say that he’d bomb Iran; it’s coming anyway. Why can’t we just believe them when they say they want to kill us? Who is shrewd enough to convince them otherwise? They want to; have told us; and are making every effort to start a fight. And they have some players behind them giving the confidence. Why is this so hard to believe?

Posted on January 5, 2012 at 12:25amHear hear!
I see it like this…
There were two boys going home from school when they passed a hornets nest. Cand looked at the nest, saw the trouble brewing inside, and decided to leave it well enough alone and go on home. Uni looked at it and decided that he didn’t like what those hornets were up to. So he poked it with a stick until a few came out after him. He ran home, getting stung along the way.
Not being satisfied with what he had done, and wanting to make sure those hornets could not hurt him again in the future, Uni got a net to protect him and a larger stick and again set off against the hornets. This time he wailed on the nest until it broke open. Even more hornets went after him, finding ways around the protective net, stinging him even more than before.
Back at school, Cand was shocked to see Uni with all the welts on his body and asked what had happened. Uni said he disliked hornets, had gotten stung from messing with them, and then put together a plan to stop them from attacking him again, which didn’t work out so good. Cand looked again at Uni and realized he had made the better choice. If you don’t want to get stung, don’t mess with hornet nests.
Well, Uni is the United States, Cand is Canada, and the hornets, they are Iran. The US has been messing with Iran since the 1940′s.
Lesson – If you don’t want to get attacked, don’t go around provoking sovereign nations. After all, Iran isn’t going after Canada.

1988 the United States launched Operation Praying Mantis against Iran, claiming that it was retaliation for the Iranian mining of areas of the Persian Gulf as part of the Iran-Iraq war
1988 the U.S. Navy missile cruiser USS Vincennes shot down Iranian Airbus flight 655, which was on a scheduled commercial flight in Iranian airspace over the Strait of Hormuz.

@Bolsen00 – if people “voted” by not listening to Rush, his ratings would go down and he would eventually fade off the radio or at least no longer have any impact. But like it or not, we all still have free speech in America (and rights to our own opinions) and we have the freedom to listen to whatever radio programs, tv programs as well as search the Internet and read what we want there.
I would have it NO other way!
If you are advocating shutting someone down or getting them off the air simply because you do not agree or like what they say–what their opinions are–I CAN NOT stand with you on that one.
I don’t like a bit of what some say either, but I’d defend their rights to say them!
So GO RUSH! I do believe he DOES love our country and many times DOES predict things correctly. IMO he’s worth listening to, even if I don’t always agree with him. But I get to choose that–you don’t. And you don’t have to listen to him. :-) Freedom is good! :-) I vote let’s KEEP it!!!

We have to stop fighting amongst ourselves and get behind the most electable. That being Newt Gingrich. Why? He’s been there, done that. He: reformed welfare; he engineered the GOP takeover of the US House for the first time in 40 yrs; he founded the Opportunity Society; he cut capital gains taxes; he forced Clinton to balance the budget and he balanced the budget for four years. No one is perfect. We won’t find the perfect person so go with the most electable. Gingrich is brilliant and an excellent debater. He will wipe up the floor with Obama. I can overlook his personal trangressions. My vote is with Gingrich. You can’t name a political figure who has done as much to concretely advance conservative ideas then Newt Gingrich has.

“The federal government spends Social Security money and other trust funds which constitute obligations to present and future recipients. It consumes them and thereby incurs obligations as binding as those to the owners of savings bonds. Yet, the Treasury treats them as revenue and hails them for generating surpluses.

Posted on January 5, 2012 at 5:08pmRon Paul is right. He is what this country needs at this point in time. Its time to clean house and he’s the guy that will do it (or get it started at least). I’m not a die-hard Paul-tard or whatever else but he’s the only person who is for smaller government, getting gov’t spending under control and abides by the constitution. The rest are more of the same. I’m not going to let some big shot radio show host tell me who I should vote for either. I want my country back, I want it to belong to the people again and I don’t see any other candidate that is willing to put that process in motion other than Ron Paul. People can say what they want but he’s right. I think people don‘t like him just because he doesn’t have the rock star charisma. I don‘t agree with him on everything but he’s the only one I trust and I don’t trust politicians. Period.

Posted on January 5, 2012 at 10:29pmRon Paul has some great ideas on closing all foreign bases, bringing home all troops, ending all foreign aid, revisiting failed free trade policies and renegotiating them into fair trade agreements he is never going to become the nominee of the GOP, the hierarchy will never allow it(they are owned by the military-industrial complex). He needs to pull out and go third party his only chance ever being in a national race. His supporters should demand it or cut off funds, no reason to stay where you don’t have a chance(some say he won‘t do it because of Rand’s career, he won’t starve as he is also a doctor).He will draw a from a large cross section of the nations voters, some Dem‘s who don’t like Obama, most Independents, Libertarians(he has to run on this ticket,only one on all state ballots),of course all Republican Ron Paul supporters, and some far right Republicans that are savvy enough to know that a vote for a Republican would be WASTED, therefore they have to vote third party because their hatred for Obama is so great that is the only way their vote would count against him.

Posted on January 6, 2012 at 3:18amThere are only two things that matter in 2012, the economy and ending the immigration invasion. Romney has forgotten more about how the economy works, real world than anyone else running. Immigration is killing our nation on so many levels, wage depression, aliens taking entry level jobs from our youth and our states are going broke not just from wages/benefits from state workers but from the very high costs to educate, medicate and when needed incarcerate the aliens and their large number of children. The sad truth is that if we are ever going to get health care costs under control we must ration care to the elderly. At least 85 cents out of every health care dollar spent is spent caring for a person over the age of 65 during their last eighteen months of life. As George Will once famously wrote, we are the only nation on earth that would take a 95 year old man out of an nursing home and put him in an ICU. But there is no way to justify denying the elderly or any other American, taxpayer largess as long as we allow a massive horde of illegal’s to continue to flood this nation and reproduce like rabbits. I believe that the true moderate, Mr. Romney can be made to see the light regarding this in a way that the two Ricks, both neoconservatives, Newt and the elderly Dr. Paul never will.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 9:07pmHey friends Ron Paul has recently said he doesn‘t think he’ll win. Thats fine. As a supporter of Ron Paul I have assumed he was going to be attacked and slandered by an obviously corrupt media and political field. Making a Ron Paul presidency all but impossible. Even so I still support him because I understand the true meaning of his message. Its foolish to think ANY person can fix our problems. It is up to the individual American to take action in a healthy positive way, and Dr. Pauls message is we need to restore our true American values, the values of real freedom, civil liberty, and the constitution. It is my humble opinion, that Dr. Paul has always been about the message rather then gaining himself ANY political position, or wealth, unlike just about every other politician out there. Please, save any rude and disrespectful remarks, because even if you don’t agree with me, I respect you and your right to have an opinion different from mine. I will continue to support Congressman Paul down to the last opportunity because I will always vote with principle not party or popular opinion.

My point is we are all as a nation going to have to put the true principles of liberty first in our lives as individuals, or a Ron Paul presidency will never work. He has said this many times. The people will really have to demand the exact things outlined by Dr. Paul in our society, and congress, and the senate in order for his presidency to be a success. In other words, getting him elected is not enough, we really need a Ron Paul rLOVEution to happen. And we must do it with love. We as Paul supporters are being poked and harassed at every angle to be rude, and nasty to any who disrespect, or skew congressman Pauls message. WE MUST NOT MAKE THIS MISTAKE.

Posted on January 5, 2012 at 6:11pmThere are times when I wonder if supporters of Ron Paul like myself do get a little overheated, and I suppose I’m guilty of it. I can only speak for myself, but I am just so darn frustrated with the fact that the Republicans are bound and determined to continue pushing progressives and candidates who have no comprehension or respect for the founders wisdom.
I watch as the party I’m supposed to back passes laws like the Patriot Act, the NDAA, and who refuse to see that the actions of the TSA are obscene and downright frightening.
Then to watch the posters here on the Blaze hammering the “Paulbots/Palulistas/nuts/ect…and I just can’t understand how they can be so blind as to what their own party is doing to this nation that I love so dearly.
Of course, all one has to do is to turn on the news and all you see are outright lies and distortions of Ron Paul’s positions, so I suppose it’s no wonder that many people who consider themselves to be conservatives arrive at the conclusions they do. I only wish they would actually read his works, and even then some who do get all bent out of shape because of preconceived religious perceptions regarding Israel…when he has their best interest at heart.
One thing is for certain, there is no way I will vote for any Republican presidential candidate other than Ron Paul, as in my view I would basically be given the choice between Mao and Mussolini, and my conscience simply would not allow for that.

It appears he wanted to see stiffer punishment for the real criminals because the rest of the bill is okay.

If we are going to diss Santorum over the Spector deal, then we should diss the NRA for endorsing Joe Manchin and Harry Reid last year.

Thank you for that info. It’s nice to get some facts instead of the lies and exagerations on the matter so far.
Unfortunately, it won’t stop the liars. I looked online and compared the voting records of Paul, Santorum, Toomey and Specter. They all voted the same. The vote that recoveringneocon is trying to beat Santorum over the head with, is one that Paul voted the same as Santorum on. All one has to do is compare their voting records and it’s perfectly clear that they all voted the same. The lies that recoveringneocon is telling about Specter and Santorum is just the Paulistian way of doing things, hoping that no one will look it up or just believing the talking points he gets off of the ronpaul.coms.

Posted on January 4, 2012 at 9:36pmWhat needs to be explained, did you not follow the news in Iowa ? The Evangelical leaders made a pact to ensure that Romney didn’t win, and they FAILED. Just like the candidates did in the 2008 election, made a pact, saying to one another in SC, that they didn’t care who won amongst them, just as long as it wasn’t Romney. The bigotry is sickening and these Christians, who think they have the only dog and pony show in town, are absolutely sickening. They are the reason the left has ever become as powerful as it is today, because of the back lash against the hypocritical Christians feeling it their duty to judge and sentence every American who isn’t in line in their church with their specific denomination. I can’t even bring up religion in the college because of all the hate and judgement a specific breed of Christians. I assure you, you are the one who called Jesus a trouble maker and liar in his times, as you would have been so certain he couldn’t possibly be the savior, as your church leaders said so. Would you know Jesus today if he walked among you ? I bet if he showed up and he was a denomination you didn’t agree with, you would most certainly condemn him as a liar. Because you people hold the only gavel in town. You people need to wake up, you are killing Christianity in America, you are the reason so many hate religion, why we can’t pray in school no more, and why the Christianity is under attack. Knock it off already, acting in spite is what Gingrich does.

What % Iowa refused to Vote for Mitt JUST BECAUSE he is Mormon ?

The Constitution entrusts the states with the so-called “police power,” a generalized power to enact laws and regulate behavior, limited of course by state and federal constitutional constraints. The federal government, by contrast, is limited to “enumerated powers,” having only those powers specifically granted by the Constitution.

If Cain was the most recent flavor of the month he would have probably won it, too. The only two with any staying power in this field are Mitt Romney and Ron Paul. However, the talk radio layer of the establishment will do everything in its power to prop up Santorum, Perry, or Gingrich, and make them the supposed alternative to Romney and portray Ron Paul as the crazy uncle in the corner, the third wheel in the race. So, the choice will be Romney, a fake conservative, and the real conservative Ron Paul.

As to a war with Iran…What if we did not get involved in WW2? Were the Germans satisfied with annexing Austria, or conquering Poland, or France?
I do understand your point, SH, with regards to the idea of attacking another country, and its implications, at least Constitutionally. I think declarations of war should emmanate from Congress, as opposed to the total BS we’ve seen with Iraq/Libya. We should have never been in either of those countries.
I believe, however, that Rick is sabre-rattling to show he will protect American interests and, ultimately, American security (read: oil by keeping shipping lanes open) with regards to Iran. Iran has been active on the seas recently, you know. We’ve already seen what indifference with that country gets us.
We simply cannot afford to allow Obama gain re-election. He has shut down US energy production, and if we cannot, or will not, protect our current sources, we will see energy prices continue to skyrocket.
We need to produce our own energy, we can do it, but most of all, SH, we need to first get rid of Obama and his socialist cohorts in the Democratic Party. I hope you change your mind about R

If this website has a purpose – if any conservative website or publication has a purpose – it must begin with electing conservatives to significant public offices. We have the chance to nominate a conservative for president and win the White House in 2012. We can fumble that chance away by settling for a nominee we can’t trust to pursue conservative policies in office, or we can make a stand for the best, most conservative potential president in the field. That’s Rick Perry, and we enthusiastically endorse him to be the 45th President of the United States.
2012 is a year of enormous opportunity for conservatives. The sitting president is deeply unpopular and discredited, the economy is mired in the doldrums, and the public’s trust in Washington and its traditional ways is at an all-time low. Tea Party-backed conservative successes in 2010 show that the public is willing to embrace candidates who dissent from the bipartisan consensus – a consensus that gives us an ever-growing federal government in general and too much federal interference and favoritism in the economy in particular. President Obama’s deep unpopularity with independents, together with the growth of left-wing populist protest movements, shows that dissatisfaction with the status quo reaches far beyond the conservative base. But the failure of some Tea Party conservatives in 2010 is also a reminder that to win, we need candidates who are serious

The Most Conservative Candidate
Perry is the most reliable conservative in the race. He has made his share of missteps over 25 years in public life, as have all the candidates, but when you think seriously about which of the major candidates would govern in the most consistently conservative fashion, the answer is obvious. Perry hasn’t zigzagged or flip-flopped his way through his career, and he’s not overtaken by a new enthusiasm every week. Neither flights of fancy nor bipartisan consensus for its own sake are in his nature. His long record in office, and his base of support, place him well to the right of Mitt Romney and – on the great issues of the day – to the right of Newt Gingrich as well. Judging the men just by their records, Perry can be counted on to govern to the right of either.
A brief summary of examples of Perry’s lengthy record tells the story of his conservatism:
-67 tax cuts for a total taxpayer savings of $14 billion.
-Fewer government employees per capita than when he took office.
-Perry has consistently scored a solid “B” rating from the Cato Institute on spending.
-Persistent action (not just words) on pro-life issues, ranging from breaking roadblocks to a parental notification law in 1999 to a groundbreaking defunding of Planned Parenthood in 2011.

The Best Potential President
Perry is well-prepared by experience and temperament to take on the presidency. He’s the longest-serving Governor in the history of the nation’s second-largest state. He’s a calm, steady hand at the helm, with strong Christian faith and a stable family. He’s come up from humble, rural roots, served his country overseas in the Air Force, and made a living in the private sector as a rancher and cotton farmer. Perry is studious and deliberate in making decisions, and resolute without being unduly stubborn in carrying them out; when he’s erred, as with the Gardasil controversy, he’s backed down, but when he’s right he sticks to his guns. He’s been tested by crises in office, including Hurricane Rita in 2005 and Hurricane Ike in 2008 (as well as the 300,000 refugees sent into Texas by Hurricane Katrina) and 2011′s wildfires. And he’ll appoint conservatives aplenty to his administration: a look at who he will owe his nomination to, if he pulls this out, tells us that. Armed with conservative convictions and surrounded by solid conservative advisors, Perry has the necessary experience and temperament to get the job done.
The one knock on Perry is that his poor debate performances and periodic campaign trail gaffes will open him to the same vulnerabilities in office as President Bush: an inability to respond to criticism or explain his own policies. That’s a fair concern, but it should not be overstated. First, P

That’s a fair concern, but it should not be overstated. First, Perry’s reputation in Texas is very different from Bush’s. Bush was all about bipartisan bonhomie; Perry has left the state littered with the political corpses of people who stood in his way. Remember Jim Hightower, the left-wing talker who coined the phrase “the only things in the middle of the road are yellow lines and dead armadillos”? Perry ended his political career 21 years ago. Maybe Perry’s not Demosthenes, but he knows how build a team that gets his message out and go after his foes.
Second, debating skill takes on outsize importance in the primaries, when candidates have to stand out on a stage crowded with 7 or 8 people who all agree with each other 80-90% of the time. All Rick Perry needs to do is step onstage and everyone will know how he’s different from Barack Obama.
Third, the main job of the president is making decisions, not talking, and Alex Kaufmann makes a great point regarding how guys like Perry get things done:
Until yesterday, I wasn’t completely sure why I liked Rick Perry so much. I have a list of reasons, but none of them really got to the root of why I like him.
Yesterday the reason finally dawned on me. I watched this wonderful 11-minute video from Ben Howe entitled “The Rick Perry I Know”…
… and I had a revelation: Rick Perry is just like my Dad.

Like my Dad, Rick sees the population of the world in three categories: Innocent people, and the good guys, who protect them from the bad guys. This sort of man has a profound and selfless love for the first group; a great admiration and willingness to work with the second; and if you’re the third group… God help you. A few people fall into the category of “I haven’t figured you out yet“, and are treated skeptically but fairly. This might be a simplistic worldview, but it’s an admirable and pragmatic one which has served our species well for a very long time.
Perry Can Win
Some will complain that Perry does not appear electable right now. But he can still win the nomination; this has been a wildly unpredictable primary season, and it’s not over yet. Romney can still be defeated – there remain 75-80% of GOP primary voters who have been listening to Romney for five years and still are not sold on him as the nominee. Gingrich can still collapse – he carries enormous political baggage of every imaginable kind, and lacks Perry’s organization. The other candidates (Huntsman, Paul, Bachmann and Santorum) could still enjoy a surge in an early state, but lack the organization or broad base of support to advance to the top tier. If one of the two current front-runners crumbles, Perry is best-positioned to make this a two-man race that could last through June, like the Obama-Hillary slugfest of 2008.

And after Iowa and New Hampshire, the terrain shifts to turf that more naturally favors a Perry revival. The remaining two January primaries are in South Carolina and Florida. Arizona is one of just two primaries (in addition to several caucuses) in February. And if he ends up in a two-man race with Romney, 10 of the 23 states that vote in March – controlling 60% of the delegates selected that month – are likely to be distinctly friendlier territory for Perry than Romney: Georgia, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, Kansas, Alabama, Mississippi, Missouri and Louisiana. Perry should easily have the money to carry the fight through these states and take the lead in the race, if he can make his case.
Yes, Perry has fallen back in the pack. But he is not to be written off lightly: he’s won more statewide elections than the rest of the GOP field put together, and has never lost one. Sure, Texas is a Republican state – but it wasn’t when Perry started running for office, and he’s part of the reason that changed.
As for the general election, there is no reason to believe that either Romney or Gingrich would be a significantly stronger general election candidate. Both have multiple major vulnerabilities. In Romney’s case, he’s won one election in 17 years of running for office, he’s transparently insincere and has flip-flopped on nearly every issue you could name. His signature achievement is Romneycare, a bill that drew Ted Kennedy’s approva

and set the stage for Obamacare. Truthfully, the campaigns have only scratched the surface of his vulnerabilities arising from his wealth and business practices, something that will not be so easily looked over by the Obama campaign. In Gingrich’s case, he’s never held executive office or won a statewide election. He was – not so long ago – perhaps the most unpopular politician in living memory, and his marital and other problems are likely to dog him throughout the election. Are both men miles better than Obama? Yes. Could both win? Yes, against this president in this year. But both have such severe electoral vulnerabilities that preferring either to Perry solely on grounds that they’d run better in a general election is a fool’s errand.
The Jobs Governor For A Jobs Election
Perry’s greatest asset is that he has a tremendous story to tell about the success of the Texas economy. When it comes to the Texas economy, it is important to start with what Governor Perry has not done. He has not micro-managed the Texan economy with a heavy hand. During his ten years in office, Gov. Perry has instead encouraged and protected the pro-growth and small-government policies and attitudes that are widely considered to have caused the record boom in the state’s population, not to mention a remarkably quick recovery from the recession that the rest of of the country seems to be still mired in. The Texas state budget is projected to have a surplus next year, tha

surplus next year, thanks largely to increased sales tax and energy revenue (Texas has no state income tax); and has largely gotten back the jobs lost in the recession. Whether or not you credit the governor for the situation, consider this: Rick Perry’s political experience has been in an arena where not interfering in the economy for the sake of interfering has been shown to work. This is a valuable trait all in its own.
And the Texas jobs record is impressive, swimming upstream against a nation where Washington has hemorrhaged money on shovel-ready rhetoric while the economy burns. Two graphs from Will Franklin tell the story more eloquently than words:
In Texas, Rick Perry’s style of goverance has gotten the jobs done. Conservatism is about what works. Texas, under Rick Perry, works. We owe America the chance to do the same.

The single biggest issue on which Perry has taken heat from the right is immigration. But there, too, Perry has been on the front lines. Perry is easily the most pro-border security Governor in U.S. history, having spent more than $400 million Texas taxpayer dollars since 2005 to do one of the few duties the Federal Government is obligated to do. Immigration is not the central issue of this election – jobs and the size of government are far more important – but Perry is comfortably in the center of the Republican Party on immigration, and he has consistently shown that he will take seriously the foundational task of securing the border first.

But he will never be taken seriously. Romney is really the only choice, and like in 2008 when I held my nose while voting for McCain I am sure will be doing the same in November when I vote Romney. I just hope he wins…4 more years of Obama will destroy us.
Keep the faith paulbots, most of you are young and there is time to change things back to where they need to be. Just some advice: Stop antagonizing everyone you feel disagrees with you. Calling people neocons and questioning their patriotism or love of freedom is no way to get anything done. People do not like major change, it will have to be done in small steps. In the end this form of government has always been about compromise. This is the blind spot of both the Tea Party and the Libertarians. A politician is not a RINO for sitting at the table with the dems. That is why you elected him. That is the only way things get done. Otherwise it is simply stalemate.

Think about this though, if you had a Republican president…let‘s say Ron Paul just for conversation’s sake, and a Republican congress that fully cooperated with him, and he successfully dismantled the entire government like you (and me) would like…how is that not a dictatorship? What about the “other” half of the population that disagrees with the small government philosophy?
You have both sides gone to extreme positions with the attitude of screw the other side. The result will either be stalemate or extreme government from one side or the other. Look what Obama just did with the appointees. The only way this system works is with the tension of both sides being drawn to the middle.
Romney will not be the end of us, just as Obama was not either. Hopefully Romney will correct some of Obama’s mistakes.
