Houston's big enough for 3-4 conferences.
My home town. It's like a cancer.
I would be okay with Santorum or Perry. I honestly do not know how ANYONE could vote for Romney after seeing this video. It's the one that Newt's PAC should have paid to run...
I've posted it before. I'll probably post it another time or two depending on how things go in the primaries. If you still haven't seen it yet go ahead and click on it. I'll wait while you watch it.
(Caution: Romney rant follows)
If you haven't seen it, well, it's all anyone needs to see to realize that Romney isn't electable no matter how much the media drones on about how he is. The man has zero core convictions. Heck, his religion is the same way...they used to be polygamous and now they aren't...they used to believe that black people were the spawn of satan and now they don't...and you can go back further and find all kinds of weird ass junk about mormonism. So it figures that Romney is a mormon. I honestly don't know how anyone trusts him to crap in the toilet rather than anywhere he happens to fancy.
He says that he is going to repeal ObongoCare. Repeal it. Not modify it or manage it smarter or anything like that but actually repeal it. Okay now...show of hands...who thinks that he will repeal it? *crickets* Exactly.
I sure didn't expect the evangelicals to endorse Romney. They wouldn't (and shouldn't have) on the basis of his goofy religious choice all by itself. To them (and to me) mormonism is a cult and is (especially by purporting to be a "Christian" religion) essentially heretical in its tenets. Now that's neither here nor there to most anyone outside of the Christian faith but it's a big deal to people who take Christianity seriously. For those who don't take Christianity seriously (and I don't care if you don't...that's your business) what you should know is that mormons are extremely clannish. If you don't like crony capitalism then you really won't like mormon clannishness. Put simply, mormons really don't like working closely with anyone who isn't a mormon. Think that a Romney presidency will have more than the statistical average of mormons on staff? Think again. I have no idea how you are supposed to conscript the very best executive branch talent out there when you are consciously trying to recruit as many mormons as possible. This is annoying in the private sector (and I know because I've been exposed to this BS personally) but in government it is unacceptable and possibly dangerous.
Okay, getting back to Santorum and Perry...I personally think that they are the only two left that are even vaguely conservative in nature. I found Perry's attack on Gingrich to be offensive and repugnant so barring some really fancy damage control I don't see him emerging as a force to be reckoned with but stranger things have happened.
As far as the actual influence the evangelical leadership might be able to throw at the race...it might have an impact in SC but maybe not anywhere else. Not anytime soon. But at this point Santorum will take whatever bone gets thrown his way.
And I thought that, given Obongo's weak polling and crappy record, this election was going be a boring runaway and that there would be no excitement whatsoever.
