Romney loses, conservatives win in Iowa


Romney's showing reflects GOP moderate strength, plus cross overs from the Dem.s and Independents..he lost.

The main stream media, the voice of the liberals, claims Romney won in Iowa.  I would submit the overwhelming strength of the vote for all the more conservative candidates demonstrates just how unpopular the father of Obama Care is in the GOP!

In the Iowa Caucus, Mitt Romney got in the mid-twenties, percentage wise, and that means 3 out of 4 voters voted for someone other than Romney!  Both Santorum and Paul got essentially the same amount of votes as Romney, so as conservatives they doubled the vote of the moderate.  Then you have to add the votes of Gingrich and Bachmann.  And consider the rich Romney probably outspent all other candidates, combined, by altogether.  So in effect Romney bought his win and even with all that cash, couldn’t do better than 1 out of 4.

Romney will win in New Hampshire.  New England, liberal, no surprise there, the former Massachusetts governor will do ok here.  South Carolina, it’s up to you to you.  Four years ago, you weren’t the South Carolina I hoped for.  Your election of Senator Graham has really lowered your reputation in my mind.  Time to stand up like your ancestors in the American Revolution and at Sumter and wake America up!  

Rush Limbaugh announced this morning that Senator John McCain endorsed Mitt Romney!  Does that tell you anything?  Does that tell you how wrong Romney is for the Republican Party, and America? 

Rick Perry, the governor of Texas, a clone of the Bush family, an internationalist who would not defend the border of Texas, and who never held a day of Prayer in Texas until he decided to run for President.  Perry got trounced, as should have happened, and here in East Texas we hope he decides to withdraw!  Great, good news for America!  We don’t need another camouflaged RINO in the White House.  So good riddens.

Michele Bachmann got beat bad, and I was surprised.  I like Michele.  She is a solid conservative, a good mind, a good speaker.  She is independent of the people who control the GOP and the conservative talk shows. (Which are proving they are manipulated by behind the scenes power brokers.  Rush is the only exception to this. Maybe Savage too. )

Conservative talk shows will now turn on Newt.  Why? Because Gingrich is the smartest horse in the stable.  Newt put together the 1994 conservative revolution taking over the House of Representatives. Newt forced Clinton to accept a balanced budget.  Newt is independent of the power brokers, or could be.  He has a strong enough understanding of history, where we are, how government works, and what is happening to America.  If elected, and given a Tea Party Congress, Newt could actually turn the course of America.  No easy feat.  So Newt has to go.  And Glenn Beck will lead that effort.

Iowa is important because it signals the start of the primary process. It is also important because it reveals a weak Romney in terms of being able to convince real Americans, conservative Americans, that he is the right choice. 

The disappointments in Iowa are Gingrich and Michele.  And it looks like Michele is dropping out.  Gingrich has talked about a long campaign; let’s hope he meant what he said. 

Ron Paul is a straw man.  Much of what he says is right.  But at 76, and leaning on a libertarian base, a base that has proven to be not more than 3 or 4% of the actual vote, Paul may be held up by the back room GOP power brokers in order to set him up to fall, once the other conservative candidates are gone.  A Romney - Paul finish would not be a good thing for conservatives.  Paul would lose.  Ron Paul needs to be Secretary of State, or Secretary of the Treasury.  But he won't win election to the Presidency and should not be the GOP nominee. 

Well, I hope for a long process. I hope for a process that gives the American people a real voice.  And Tea Party, where are you?  You were the only true balance to the blue blood internationalists who have been running the GOP since Ronald Reagan.  They are complicit with both Clinton and Obama in destroying America as a nation.  Tea Party and Sarah Palin we need you!
