Only crazies and liars can win the GOP nomination these days.

Santorum, Bachman, Newt, Romney, Herman Cain, GWB, Palin, McCain.... there has not been a serious conservative on the Republican ticket since Bob Dole/Jack Kemp in 1996. Think about that... Many voters today were less than 5 years old the last time the Republican party had sane fiscal conservatives as their nominees.

Run a real fiscal conservative with progressive views on social issues (like Bloomberg) and he has no chance of getting nominated... so Bloomberg, Christie, Rubio etc won't even run for election. It's pathetic. I'd love to vote Republican... just as soon as the GOP actually nominates one.
