Freepers are off their Rockers with Candidates (vanity)

[Scythian]

It's hard to log on and read the threads on the FR and not wonder what is going on, have the Freepers went off thier rockers? Has Obama driven them insane? I know I'm going to take some heat for this but it needs saying. Oh, and this was posted in the CHIT/CHAT forum where things like this can be posted.

Let's categorize the crazies:

1) First, theirs the Sarah Palin is running but she's so brilliant she's skipping all the debates crowd. She's not running folks, she all but made that clear while signing autograph's at the fair today.

2) Second, there's the thread titled "Perry was the winner of the Iowa debate!". Is somebody smoking crack? And now he's even the favorite canidate of the tea party? really? Al Gores ol' campaign manager and open borders guy?

3) Next we have the "Ron Paul won the debate guys" (you all probably got the email like I did). Please, come on, folks, wake up. Even if he wins the poll it will mean nothing, he will fade away as usual and you know it. You guys remind me of Linus waiting year after year for the great pumpkin.

4) Next there's the Cain won the debate folks, now I like Cain and would vote for him for Prez, but he will soon be out and deep down inside you know it too.

I'm going to stop here, but could go on, I'm no expert, I'm just seeing a ton of irrational, emotionally based, wishful thinking and some moon bat-ness that suprises me frankly.

Okay, you may now commence to ripping me to shreds.

If the Repub establishment forces a RINO down our throats, they deserve whatever they get.

One thing states need to do is (forgive the caps) STOP OPEN PRIMARIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Open primaries are a death wish.

[little jeremiah]

I’m calling it a night too.

Sweet dreams and don’t let the bedbugs bite!

[wardaddy]

I agree the bashing sucks and even though I support Palin if she runs and Bachmann who is running...

Some Palin supporters are a bit unhinged...just plain nasty and unfortunately she has attracted the Rudy harpies who’ve crawled back...which makes no ideological sense

and some Palin bashers as well

I could support Perry as a last resort more than Romney as a last resort

so for me...either girl will do..I do not get the magic in Palin sticking it out but whatever she does for some here it is divine

I am more practical...either her or Bachmann screw up I will comment on it

I recall these same Palin folks suffered no disagreement with her from jump street

this forum in Palin laden at the mod level...no question of that

but JR says Palin, Bachmann or Cain...so there...I think Cain has slipped..bad.,..but he was funny at the debate

[wardaddy]

u r not govt bean counter..lol...obviously

[wardaddy]

some moon bat-ness that suprises me frankly.

it doesn't me and you've been here longer than I

[Bikkuri]

OMG... I have been thinking the same thing... how many others that are NOT freepers want this crap to stop\?!?

[wardaddy]

you might as well stay home ...a write in will not win

[Bikkuri]

A write in may not win.. but the GOD, hopefully, will get the picture... we want Conservs, not RINOS..

We did the ‘Hold the nose’ part in the last election.. look what happened

[Bikkuri]

OUCH .. that was one heck of a typo... I meant GOP

[presently no screen name]

Way to put conservatism first Sarah

You certainly aren't. Since when is conservatism stamping one's feet for her to decide to enter a race where she polls horribly was the deal breaker for me. because YOU think the wait is too long. CONTROL is a liberal trait.

SARAH is teaching you what conservatism is but you appear to be unteachable.

[exnavy]

My prediction is Hitlery at the top of the dem ticket.

[exnavy]

I made that call 2 years ago on these pages.

[CodeToad]

People are simply reaching for a candidate like Reagan. I think there are some good candidates in the pack but none are even close to Reagan. Cain probably has the most experience and good ideas but he isn’t a strong personality and it takes a hard noggin to become pres.

[Hot Tabasco]

Romney will never make it outa the primaries.

I'm not so sure about that. I said the same thing about "Maverick" "War Hero" John McCain without considering he would have the MSM in his corner all the way. They set him up for the primary win to shoot him down prior to the Pres. election and I feel they're promoting Romney the same way.......

As a side note, once the election was over we never heard the terms "Maverick" or "War Hero" again........

[right way right]

Your nasty insults show your character, not mine.

Actually, I'm having some difficulties reviewing the text of what I said, precisely, in order to defend my position. I guess all I can say, at this point, is that I'm not sure what you are talking about.

What, you like Romney or something?

Now THAT was possibly the worst personal insult that's been thrown in my direction in a long time. Just because I responded to your generic statement, with another generic statement (to promote the destruction of the Obama regime), I'm suddenly a RINO-loving Romneyite? Where's the logic in that conclusion, he asked rhetorically? Check my anti-Romney posts, if you must. They are voluminous and scattered between here and when I signed up to FR......just to prove that I value consistency, unlike Mr. Flip-Flop the empty hairdo.

Here's a Challenge for you:

a. List all the possible Republican/Conservative candidates

b. Arrange them in order, top to bottom, from Most Leftist, to most Conservative.

c. Place an "(X)" by each of the names of those, if they were to win the nomination, you would stay home rather than vote for them.

Not only am I interested to know where the cutoff point is for your principles, but I think you might be doing the candidates and other voters a favor as well.

(no hard feelings)

Personal attacks are not allowed on FR. That's why your post was removed. Try making a point without the childish insults.

[CanaGuy]

I offer it as a challenge, to take my Challenge.

[DJ MacWoW]

I don't respond to those who only offer insults as debate except to tell them they are out of line. If you had anything valuable to offer you wouldn't have had to resort to insults.

Hope your day is great.

[little jeremiah]

A. Your inability to remember your own comments ain’t my fault.

B. I don’t think I have to jump when you tell me to.

C. I’m in a “wait and see” mode before I even think of backing any candidate.

D. Here are a few items of importance to me:

Border security. REAL border security.

Pro-life 100%.

No pro-Muslim crap, had it up to here with it.

No pro-homosexual agenda. - has to want to repeal DADT, for instance, and be willing to keep marriage normal.

Pro 2nd Amendment rights (and heck while we’re at it, pro 1st Amendment!)

CUT - as in SLASH - gov spending; not disguised as “we’ll reduce the projected increases”.

NO socialist anything such as mandated health care insurance, national or state. Of course reducing socialist junk in our government also includes slicing and dicing numerous agencies, departments, and bureaus. Can’t afford it anyway. Getting rid of onerous harmful regulatory agencies that are strangling the country to death.

Dedicated to a strong military.

Oh, and no kow towing to China as the last 3 presidents or maybe even 4 have done. We need our manufacturing and associated jobs back, what to speak of not out sourcing important industries to an evil country who hates our guts.
