Keep your pimp hand strong, dano! Even though your leftist candidate only has 2 supporters on FR.

You are dreaming that that girl is you right? :/

So dreamy without having a core set of beliefs other than the magic underwear. UGH

That underwear can't EVER touch the floor you know even when in the laundry room. My ex-Mormon daughter told me. WEIRD.

I agree, disgusting, stupid, childish, bigoted, etc. We are ADULTS, not children, folks. Geees.

This pimp looks more prosperous than the other one!!

Feel free to post the picture of the other pimp if I’m not online when dano copies and pastes crap from his masters website.

I would really appreciate it.

No problem.

We needed Hunter all along. None of this comes as a big surprise to me. Remember the days of “Run, Fred, Run? Everyone was waiting to see what he would do and were withholding support to see what he would do. Well, this is what he will do, now we know. Recently, Romney was selected as the most conservative candidate in some poll. Huckabee has pandered his way into the heat of the fray now So here we are, Same ole Same ole, again. That is if we are extremely fortunate and don’t end up with JUlie-Anti.

I agree 100% if we have the same understanding that saying that Romney is the most conservative is ridiculous in light of his record in Massachusetts and his statements in his previous campaigns.

Ack. I saw Romney on Youtube in his debate with Kennedy. It was the farthest left I’ve seen a Republican candidate and I lived in New York City for a while.

Really? Ronald Reagan was once a democrat. Thank goodness we puritans didn’t reject him based on where he started rather than what he had become.

Really? Ronald Reagan was once a democrat. Thank goodness we puritans didn’t merely reject him based on where he started, but rather judged him on what he had become.

That's better.

Reagan was elected about 25 years after he became an outspoken conservative. Romney has been conservative for about 7 months . . . since he declared for President.

The point is he came late to the conservative side. By his own admission, when he became governor he had no opinion as to abortion one way or another. Yet, he went on to become one of our greatest presidents and a revered carrier of the conservative mantle.

Democrat Ronald Reagan had proudly voted for FDR for President four times, and campaigned vigorously for Harry Truman. Although moving toward the Republican Party as a supporter of Dwight Eisenhower and Richard Nixon, he remained a Democrat until-with Maureen's encouragement-he finally switched his registration in 1962.

From the book, Reagan In His Own Hand: 1975 Reagan radio address:

“Eight years ago when I became Gov. I found myself involved almost immediately in a controversy over abortion. It was a subject I’d never given much thought to and one upon which I didn’t really have an opinion. Ronald Reagan quoted above, in his late 60's, writing that he hadn't formed an opinion one way or another on abortion eight years earlier UNTIL HE WAS FORCED TO MAKE A DECISION ON IT WHEN IN OFFICE. Sounds familiar.

Sometimes, people aren't born conservatives. And the converts are often the strongest champions of the cause. Nontheless, if you review the campaign literature from 1994, it's pretty clear Romney WAS a conservative when he entered politics -- on every issue but one.
