Throwing up your hands and surrendering. That plan may work for people like the Cubs in September or the French any given Tuesday, but it's not an endearing plan and I find that those who embrace it are not usually endearing people. Sadly, it has become, as of late, the mantra of true conservatives in the country in the last week or so. And I can't help but stop and wonder what the hell is wrong with us.
McCon has won Florida and S. Carolina, so what? Let's look at some hard facts. McCain has 97 delegates out of a needed 1,191. That's 8%! and not even a strong 8% (0.0814442). McCain has won in races where liberals and "independents" were allowed to vote for the Republican nominee. Look at the exit polls for Florida and South Carolina. Abortionists who don't go to church very often, voted for McCain.
A slim margin in the delegate counts (Romney has 76) and a win in a state where half the population couldn't figure out how to vote for Algore all those years ago, and our side is ready to throw in the towel. We've got folks like Ann Coulter and Rush Limbaugh saying that if it's McCain and Clinton on the final stage, they're rooting for Clinton so we don't get blamed for all the socialist crap she's going to pull (as opposed to all the socialist crap he's going to pull).
I say... that's crap!! We're going to get blamed no matter what happens. How's about this? Instead of throwing up our hands and giving them McCain to blow out of the water, what if we circled the wagons and put up the best candidate we can at this point? At least if we put up Romney, there might actually be a choice in candidates as opposed to "Left and Lefter".
We cannot give up. What if General Washington had said "You know, this Valley Forge thing sucks, and the Brits are probably going to win anyways. Let's roll up out tents now and head home. At least then the colonists won't blame us if the Brits pull something."?
Make no mistake, we are in a battle of the same caliber as the Revolutionary War. There is a war going on for the soul of this nation. Washington fought, so that all men might be free to choose their own God-given destinies. Two-hundred plus years later, the dreams of Washington and those like him stand as a beacon of light that the whole world flocks to. It is this same epic dream that we fight for now. On one side stands the dark shadow of socialist oppression and on the other, the same fire of liberty that was lit all those years ago at our countries founding. I would hope that those who lead us now would harken back to the greatness of our forefathers, strap their boots back on, and get back to the hard work of forging a nation.
This nation is always moving forward. The question becomes, who guides its path? Socialists and haters of the human soul or champions of that internal freedom and light that all men carry?

When I think of Mitt Romney, the next person that usually comes to mind is George Washington. He's basically the same guy. I bet he even has an orchard of cherry trees on his massive estate. And wooden teeth.
Hate Hilary and Obama as much as you want - the reason you're stuck with McCain is that he's the least offensive of the group of rich/ultra-religious/racist idiots on the Republican ballot.
You missed my point, I wasn't correlating Washington to Romney. I was correlating him to those of us fighting against socialists like Obama and Clinton. I'm not sure how you missed that.
The reason you say he's the "least offensive" is because you are (dare I say... "obviously") a member of the socialist left who likes ideas that strip humans of their God-given rights and dignities.
Speaking the rich, what did Clinton and Obama make on their last book deals?
...I'm sorry I can't hear you... the irony is too loud.
