Ron Paul Next To Be “Creamed” By GOP
“Yes, the GOP does eat it’s own.” — J.D. Longstreet
Sometimes I’m a little slow on the up-take but decades of following US politics as my favorite sport has given me enough insight into the way politics works, at the upper levels, to know that the GOP chose its nominee a very long time ago. Of course, it is Mitt Romney. All the hoopla, the debates, etc, really don’t matter. For when the smoke clears, the man who will be crowned as the GOP nominee for President of the United States will be Mitt Romney. You can, as my old Grand pappy would say: “Put that in your pipe and smoke it!”
In the spirit of full disclosure allow me to state clearly that I do not intend to vote for Romney either in the North Carolina Primary or the Presidential Election in November of 2012. It is a matter of honor for me… not to mention that I am royally PO’ed at the Republican Party for “foisting” Romney on conservative voters under what I consider false colors. Its as though Romney is wearing a tattoo saying: “GOP APPROVED: CONSERVATIVE.”
The state motto of North Carolina is: “To be, rather than to seem.” In Romney’s case I fear it is “to seem, rather than to be.” I am not the least bit convinced of the validity of Romney’s conservative credentials.
