American Spectator: ....Romney is a corny businessman....

Romney's Cheap and Empty Win
By GEORGE NEUMAYR on 2.1.12 @ 6:09AM

The GOP is signing its own political death warrant by backing him.

Mitt Romney's plastic and philosophically vapid campaign secured an easy victory in Florida on Tuesday night. Sunshine state GOP voters swallowed his "electability" argument whole, according to the exit polls.

It appears that country club Republicans have succeeded again in duping the GOP electorate into crowning a "centrist" Republican. Never mind that "centrist" Republicans rarely win the center. They usually lose the center while sapping the spirit of the party's conservative base.

Out of Bob Dole's and John McCain's tattered Big Tent steps another "reformed" RINO, Mitt Romney, who will receive, should he win the nomination, a similar thumping from the Democrats.

but you put a "true conservative" like Newt in there and it would be an absolute thrashing. You want believe otherwise, George Neumayr, you go right ahead.

...PLEASE continue with the "we lost because we weren't far enough to the right" bit of self delusion.

PEACE!
