Should We Settle for the GOP Nominee?

I have been through 6 national election seasons and this one is shaping up to be the most contentious (on the GOP side) and most impactful.  There seems to be a GOP debate every other week and with them another 'flavor of the week'.  Well we are now standing in front of the provervial ice cream case and have tried all the flavors.  None have impressed so far.

Should we settle for whomever makes it through the GOP gauntlet and becomes the nominee?  There are some political romantics that enjoy the gutting of the candidates during the primary campaigning because it only makes the eventual nominee tough enough to handle the inevitable dirty negative campaigning in the general election.  Does all the friendly fire produce the best candidate?  Do the best candidates even want the job?



Well the only question I can answer from the above is that the eventual GOP nominee should most definitely have our support.  Why?  While all the flavors you've been trying out don't light your world on fire it sure beats the sh#t flavored ice cream that we the American public bought when it was being sold as Rocky Road!

Bottom line is anything is better than the sh#t flavor aftertaste I have in my mouth right now.  If only we could get some butter pecan!

 Times are tough so voice your opinion now and vote in Nov '12.
