The Media Is Driving This Election, Too

This afternoon's Drudge Report has posted two stories. The first concerns the endorsement of Ron Paul by Kelly Clarkson, a past winner of American Idol whose political acumen I question; while the other concerns Mitt Romney's poll standing against Barack Obama, 45% to 39% respectively.

What I see happening is that reportage is attempting to divide and conquer conservatives by destroying all viable conservative candidates (e.g., Santorum, Bachman, Cain, Perry(?)), through innuendo and unsubstantiated allegations, then offering a less than conservative Romney or a nut-case like Paul as being obvious alternatives to Obama.

Are we to believe this?

I think not.

Romney has never received much above 27% of his own party's endorsement, and Paul has received just about the same if not a triffle lower.

Explain to me how an individual with only a 26% approval rating by his own party can hope to defeat a sitting president with even a 39% approval rating? The republican candidate is already starting with a 13% campaign deficit.

We need to nominate a strict conservative in order to stop all the nonsense the progressive movement has foisted upon this country for the past 120 years. A social and fiscal conservative who will uphold the Constitution and appoint strict constructionist judges to the Supreme Court.
