With Romney, Gingrich and Santorum, how low are Republicans willing to go? The Republican Party is a sinking ship this season because there are enough smart people who won’t vote for a new sociopath when the one we have now is being contained.

The greatest American tragedy of this century so far has been the mushing down of ordinary people who call themselves conservatives. Most of these are Republicans. Outwardly Republicans present themselves as freedom loving patriots. Inwardly they are driven by nothing more than an unquenchable thirst for sanctimonious feelings. In Ron Paul, Republicans have the only conservative candidate in the country. However, to support Ron Paul one would have to give up a degree of sanctimony, engage in self examination and study issues in depth.
