The GOP primaries: Outsiders only

Ron Paul is near the ideals of libertarianism, far from the neoconservatism that reign in the GOP hawks.

Newt Gingrich is Catholic, like Rick Santorum; and Mitt Ronmey is Mormon, like Jon Huntsman. These are not the most representative religions of "the Founding Fathers of the United States". Certainly, Mormons are protestants, but not the kind that symbolizes the concepts of the US conservative majority.

The last hope for neocons is Rick Perry, but although his religion, ideals and Texan bearing, he has low chances, according to polls; and even this guy has a negative point for neoconservatives: he was a Democrat until 1989, which is not what Republican hawks would call a perfect insignia of the GOP traditions.

The Democrats chose an outsider in 2008, but now is the turn for the Republicans. This time, McCain will not be in the race against Obama, so an outsider will face an outsider. Discontent with the status quo is still active in the 2012 US elections.
