Hi Neeka, You certainly said a mouthful..... By the looks of the posts here on this thread there is a real battle going on within the republican party - We run the risk of winning the battle and losing the war. Kind of reminds me of players on a football team criticizing their quarterback - "Nah, I'm not going to block for that guy" Some of us are moderates and some of us are conservatives - I am as conservative as most and I believe the republican candidate will be Mitt Romney. I am also a pragmatist and BO is sending us to a dark place from which we may never return. I don't see the two coming together any time soon, although I can think of a few issues that might bring them closer. - If we don't come together then I see two possible outcomes: 1) BO wins (most likely) 2) Romney wins mainly through the efforts of independents and moderates and conservatives have less of a say in his administration. Party splinters - Liberals positioned to retake congress / presidency. I know one thing, conservatives are fuming about tax policy and broken promises. - If Obama gets reelected then we can keep on fuming. He knows that the tax policy is a very inefficient means to redistribute wealth and may resort to more drastic measures. They are much less reticent than moderates and are in fact on the edge of revolt. - This sounds like 3rd party or civil war. BO will remain in the WH, republicans will lose congressional seats, the liberals will stack the SC and remain in power for decades. If moderates and conservatives work together we can create a win-win situation. If Obama wins it is lose-lose. The choice is ours.
