WE NEED A NEW REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE

[Enid M. Thoms]

It is way past time for “We The People’” to choose our next president. The Republican Primaries have turned into a street brawl and all our candidates are severely flawed for one reason or another.

We must consider a completely different direction. We must get the ball rolling for a DRAFT JIM DEMINT FOR PRESIDENT MOVEMENT. As a frustrated constitutionalist/conservative Tea Party member, I believe a true groundswell, "grassroots" movement could propel Jim into the White House, even if it means write-in ballots and/or a brokered convention.

Consider the following: Jim Demint’s Washington experience, unassailable integrity, leadership in helping real conservatives win House and Senate seats, ability to buck the “establishment,” his values and solutions to reduce the size of Government, restore efficiency at the Federal level while returning Constitutional rights to the states, repeal Obamacare and business-killing regulations as expressed in his inspiring books, “Saving Freedom ,” "The American Awakening," and "Now Or Never." If widely promoted by the Tea Party, conservative groups and patriotic, THINKING AMERICANS everywhere we could change the "conventional wisdom" as defined by the Liberal MSM, elites, ruling class types, inside-the-beltway pundits, big money donors, (such as Soros and unions) et al.

Yes, Obama has the bully pulpit, and they have big microphones and money, BUT, WE HAVE THE VOTES! Let’s get going ! ! !

If we were going to do something like this Roma, it needed to be started months or perhaps even more than a year ago.  This is almost February and the election is in November.  And I like Matt Kibbe, but I am not swayed by his opinion........................the Blaze is Glen Becks site, and although I still read his stuff once or twice a week, I am not swayed by his opinion either.  Roma you are lovely, but I learned long ago, if you look for it, you can find support for any premise, but I can't ignore all the stuff out there that doesn't support this too!  Yes, people would like to have had someone else, but they threw Perry to the curb, they threw Bachmann to the curb, they threw a couple other people to the curb, and all of these were good people as are the folks that are still running!

I agree, Jim DeMint would be a good candidate but all another candidate will accomplish is further fracturing the Republican vote, and assure another four years of Odomination.

Do we have the votes?

Pulling something like this right now will guarantee Obama a second term.  I understand where you are coming from, but if you divide the vote between 2 republican candidates, you will lose.  I know Jim Demint is a good guy and like him a lot, but the time for him to run has past.  I wish I could support what you suggest as I truly like the man!
