ABO.
ABO.
ABO.
DEFEATING OBAMA IS PARAMOUNT. ANN COULTER AND I CURRENTLY THINK MITT IS POSITIONED TO DO THAT BEST.
AND ANN COULTER AND I WOULD BOTH HAPPILY VOTE FOR MITT OVER OBAMA.
EVEN THOUGH ANN COULTER AND I WOULD BOTH LOVE TO HAVE A MORE CONSERVATIVE PRESIDENT.
IT IS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE WITH THAT MITT IS NOT THE MOST CONSERVATIVE ON THE RACE, BUT NONE REPEAT NONE ARE PERFECT.
I WAS ORIGINALLY A PERRY SUPPORTER, BUT HE'S BEEN DREADFUL SO FAR. THE WORST CAMPAIGN OF THEM ALL. AND HIS IMMIGRATION STAND IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME. (THOUGH I'D VOTE FOR HIM OVER OBAMA.)
NEWT WOULD MAKE THE BEST POTUS, BUT HE IS PROBABLY UNELECTABLE BECAUSE OF HIS BAGGAGE. (I'D VOTE FOR HIM OVER OBAMA.)
LOVABLE HERMAN CAIN HAS PROVEN WITH HIS 9-9-9 PLAN - WHICH THEM BECAME 9-9-9/9-0-9 WITH SEVERAL CAVEATS, AND BY HIS ABORTION COMMENTS AND HIS IGNORANCE OF THE RIGHT OF RETURN AND SO MUCH ELSE, THAT HE IS NOT READY TO BE POTUS. (I'D VOTE FOR HIM OVER OBAMA.)
SANTORUM AND HUNTSMAN AND BACHMANN ARE GOING TO DROP OUT SOON.
SOME READERS HAVE MISCONSTRUED MY CRITICISM OF MITT-BASHERS AS BEING A DEFENSE OF ALL THAT MITT STANDS FOR OR HAS ACHIEVED OR ESPOUSES.
IT IS NOT.
IT'S MERELY BEEN AN ATTEMPT TO REMIND THE CONSERVATIVES WHO ARE ATTACKING MITT AS AN UNACCEPTABLE GOP NOMINEE, THAT THE TONE AND PITCH AND TENOR OF THEIR ATTACKS IS PROVOKING MANY OTHER CONSERVATIVES TO SAY THEY WILL STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE RATHER THAN VOTE FOR MITT.
ALL THIS WILL DO IS ELECT OBAMA.
IN FACT, IT'S OBAMA BEST CHANCE AT WINNING: ONLY BY DEPRESSING GOP TURNOUT AND CONSERVATIVE TURNOUT CAN OBAMA HOPE TO WIN RE-ELECTION.
SO BY GOING TO FAR IN THEIR CRITICISM OF MITT, THE MITT-BASHERS ARE HELPING OBAMA.
THAT IS A MISTAKE.
YES: WE MUST VET ALL THE CANDIDATES - AND PART OF THAT VETTING IS "GOING NEGATIVE".
I HAVE DONE THAT TO MITT AND NEWT AND CAIN AND PERRY.
BUT I HAVEN'T GONE OVER THE TOP. OR EVER SAID I WOULD STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE RATHER THAN VOTE FOR ANY OF THE CANDIDATES.
LOOK AT IT THIS WAY:
WE EXPECT THE CANDIDATES TO SUPPORT THE EVENTUAL NOMINEE NO MATTER WHO IT IS.
IF YOU WANT TO DEFEAT OBAMA, THEN YOU SHOULD PLEDGE TO DO THE SAME.
AND NOT ATTACK ANY OF THE CANDIDATES TO A DEGREE THAT MIGHT HURT THEM IN THE GENERAL.
REAGAN CALLED THIS THE GOP'S 11TH COMMANDMENT.
I HAVE BEEN ATTACKED FOR ESSENTIALLY SAYING THE SAME THING AS REAGAN,
SHAME ON ALL OF YOU FOR THAT.
YOU ARE ATTACKING COULTER AND REAGAN WHEN YOU ATTACK ME FOR SAYING THAT THE MITT BASHERS NEED TO TONE DOWN THEIR ATTACKS.
NOTE:
I HAVE NEVER SAID THAT THE CRITICISM IF MITT MUST STOP ALTOGETHER.
I HAVE JUST CRITICISED THE DEGREE AND TONE OF THE ATTACKS.
LET'S SAVE THAT VITRIOL FOR OBAMA AND THE LEFT.

It's a shame that Palin decided to exclude herself early. If she had jumped into the debater, she would have shone, and with the press hatred she draws, she would have really gotten an opportunity to get her policy views out there, which are head and shoulders above everyone else.
If she succeeded in breaking the media's attempt to characterized her as incompetent or radical, she would go on to win. If instead her negatives stayed high, she could always drop out later, while in the meantime drawing the media's fire and doing great damage to their reputation by exposing their partisan hackery.
I wish she had seen the positives of getting in early and deciding later whether to stay in.
EXCELLENT POINTS ALEC.
AS ALWAYS.
SHE'S WONDERFUL.
