The Big Conversation:
Rick Santorum's departure has officially dashed any hopes of a competitive Texas primary, but the ramifications of his exit don't end at the top of the ballot.
Santorum abruptly dropped out of the presidential race on Tuesday, ending a candidacy that had emerged for a time as the most viable conservative alternative to that of front-runner Mitt Romney, who had amassed a delegate lead that many had deemed insurmountable.
The former Pennsylvania senator's exit effectively ends the Republican nominating process, though in his speech Santorum stopped short of endorsing Romney. "While this presidential race ...

Texas for Mormons? Maybe for the nomination but it will be funny to see Texas vote Democrat in the general election.

Why ignore the other Texan running for president who has the MOST actual delegates (you know, the actual people that signed up to be delegates). Ted Cruz... Ugh, just another big government republican.

A read this post by a recent contributor about the slash and burn policies of the Republican party and thought about it for a long time.
I think he/she might have a good idea.

I say give 'em all everything they want. Period.
No decent Medical Program -
No spending on education, no road building or repair, no post office, no schools, for that matter, no taxes, no regulations of any kind, no courts, no police, fire, or EMT, no clean air, clean water, no sewer systems or water treatment, no IRS, no safety regulations, no food inspection, no law enforcement or crime investigations or courts, no health care, not veterans care or benefits, no SocSec, Medicare or Medicaide, no nothing... that's the dream, right? Government small enough to drown in a bathtub? Fine. Let everyone have that.
Then sit back and wait for the screaming to start.

Wake up America, Ron Paul is our only hope to restore honesty in Washington. We are in this economic mess because Washington culture of corruption and the Main Stream News Media that fail to report the truth to the American people. We elected the politicians to office to represent us the people, but they betray us and passed legislation that destroy our manufacturing our small farming, small retail stores and small business; they destroy our economic base and millions of jobs, they promoted the invasion of illegal aliens and call them immigrants that are in our country to contribute to our economic, but we know the truth they are here to take our jobs and decrease our wages and on top of all this they made laws that force us to pay for the economic and welfare of the illegal aliens. fellow Americans Washington represent big business, the multinational corporations and wall street. The GOP establishment and the Democrats are the same they don't want Ron Paul because he will not sell out and will restore honesty in our government, this corrupt government do not want any change in Washington they trashed our Constitution because they claim that is old and outdated, our US Supreme court had become a political institution that use their power to support their ideology not our constitution, they are too responsible for the demise of what it use to be our America. Fellow Americans we must shake up Washington, on November we must vote for Rom Paul and not any one else, if Dr. Paul it is not nominate by the GOP we must vote for a third party. If Obama is elected again, it will be because the GOP fail to stand for America. Ron Paul is our last hope to restore America, because Americans will only be united by an honest leader.
God bless America. I pray to our lord to give us the wisdom to work in harmony to restore our constitution and our country.
