The title of this National Journal op-ed sums up much of what is wrong with the Republican<\/a> party, “Insiders: GOP Would Be Better Off With Romney for 2012<\/a>“:<\/p>\n

“Texas Gov. Rick Perry<\/a> may be surging in polls of Republican primary voters, but his party’s Insiders aren’t convinced he’d be the best general election candidate. More than two-thirds of Republican Insiders say Mitt Romney<\/a> has a better chance than Perry of defeating President Obama<\/a> in 2012, according to this week’s National Journal Political Insiders Poll …”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

You mean those same insider who have been giving the NY GOP<\/a> the same bad advice for years, that what the public really wants is a milktoast, leftist\/progressive RINO? \u00a0These insiders<\/em> are what is wrong with both parties. \u00a0It’s high time the GOP bosses started listening to the base.<\/p>\n
