Well, I don’t think you have to worry about the Republican Party being too “ideologically pure.”
Nor do we need to worry about the American Independent Party ever accomplishing anything positive. I would rather choose the train that gets half way to the definition than one that sits in the station doing nothing but being covered with graffiti.
You are being ridiculous. and as for your Karl Rove comparison to me, it’s laughably ignorant. My anti Karl Rove articles across the internet have gotten rave reviews for years from folks named Coulter and Limbaugh and others.
Besides, I never said I was for it.
The fact remains that TARP is mostly paid back (yes, I agree the AIG Goldman foreign bank part is stinky as hell, but that was not how it was sold) but that’s beside the point. It was not a clear ideological issue and many conservatives of great economic esteem were in favor of it as a necessary evil.
Many more credentialed than you will ever be - many who helped craft Reaganomics.
I don’t think you’ll ever see Herman Cain out of the front lines of the fight against child-killing. At least I never have in twenty years of activism. But, even if he said the words, what would it matter when he supports pro-abortion socialists? Actions test the reality of words.
Depends. If the destination is Romneyville, with its socialized medicine, taxpayer-funded abortions, homosexualized public schools, gay marriage, and gun bans, I’d rather sit still and wait for a train that’s going somewhere other than to hell on a fast track.
Does it ever occur to anyone around here that maybe choosing Romney over McCain is not exctly “pro Romney?”
Does it ever occur to anyone that as an ex CEO of a large company, that maybe being pro TARP meant he was worried what might happen to the equity market thereby detroying the retirements and wealth of all of us?
Just because you choose pigs knuckles over chitlins, it doesn’t mean you are necessarily FOR pigs knuckles.
I hope you folks can get God on the ticket, or stay home on election day and be part of the problem.
ROFLOL, guess all those hours I spend taking those MBA courses years ago were a waste.
I don’t suppose you know enough about the Constitution to understand the difference between Romney Care and Obama Care.
Now they both stink, but they are not the same for one very important CONSTITUTIONAL REASON: One is the very constitutional concept of using “one of the several states” as a laboartory. The other is socialism for the entire country.
But go ahead, be a single issue closed minded guarantor of Democrat rule. But feel GOOD about your self.
Apparently they were, yes.
And BTW, the pro TARP crowd is FULL OF IVY LEAGUE MBAs.
Wait, are there really Keyes supporters around?
Alan Keyes isn't just a chronic loser, he may take the cake as the ultimate loser. Has this guy ever won anywhere, ever? From what I know he lost 3 Senate races, 3 Presidential races and somehow even managed to lose the nomination to for the entirely irrelevant Constitution Party in 2008. And Keyes doesn't just lose, he loses in spectacularly humiliating fashion. I remember him getting less than 30% of the vote in his Senate bid against Obama and he was equally shellacked in his 2 bids in Maryland. Keyes has such negative charisma that the GOP probably could have a run a tree stump in all those races and done better.
I didn't realize there were people around who took him seriously anymore.
Like it matters. Even when we elect Republicans these days we get “Democrat rule.” The only thing is that it’s masked behind an “R.”
You’re right. The outright LIES being told about Cain are disgusting.
I liked Cain long before I found out *gasp* he’s black. He’s NOT an “affirmative action” candidate for me, as some racists around here are calling him. He’s my choice out of the current possibilites. Bachmann is my other favorite.
SO DID MOST OF US!!!!!!!
Let me ask you a question: Do you think any Democrat, even in Massachusetts, could have pushed through an agenda so radical as to include gay marriage, socialized medicine complete with $50 co-pay taxpayer-funded abortions, homosexualized state government and public schools, and a gun ban? Or was all of that only made possible because of the protection of an “R” by the Governor’s name?
You have a hard time staying on subject. The point is not whether Romney Care is good or bad — I think we all agree it’s bad. The point is not whether a Democrat version would have been even worse. It mostly likely would have been.
There are only two points here of relevance: Cain’s support of Romney over McCain has nothing to do with Cain’s like of Romney Care (which he does not) ...and a state program is simply not the same thing Constitutionally as a federal program.
Now, change the subject again since you can’t touch these two arguments.
Romney was the most conservative of the lot once Fred Thompson bowed out, which isn’t saying much. I voted for Romney in the primary and didn’t like it at all.
Cain is awesome.
Nutritionally, you are what you eat. Politically, you are what you endorse. How much more on point do you care to be?
So, you voted for the most liberal Governor in the history of the republic.
Not something to be proud of, no matter what your excuses might be.
Great answer.
I was leaning towards Mitt in 2008. It wasn't like there were a lot of choices.
