The Huck-Mitt war is just a distraction to insure the electorate does not start looking at a candidate who might actually secure our borders and be a capable and strong leader. Fred is at 2% in NH and he will be gone after South Carolina. McCain probably will as well at that time. Ron Paul isn’t going to leave the race, no matter how things shake out. I don’t think Huckabee will be able to maintain this surge and he will be done after Florida, although he may hang around for the big one. Rudy has a lot of baggage and he has miscalculated, severely. After Florida, the writing will be on the wall for him. Whether he understands what the writing means is another matter. That will leave us with Romney. Hooray, way to go, GOP!

When the last conservative gets out of the race, so will I.

I think we should focus on the liberal’s Stalinism and Satanism....the new SS.

Just make sure you don't get one that's all cracked and cloudy like this guy has.

LOL! I don’t really have one, I am just pretending I do. Having been told my candidate doesn’t have a snowball’s chance, nearly a year before the first vote was cast by those using their crystal balls; I thought I should at the very least pretend I have one as well. I am just trying to fit in. :)

Two of my favorite religious groups wanting to knock the righteous slop out of each other; give me a minute to get a lawn chair and a couple of beers so I can watch this travesty.

Now if I could just get the Muslims, Catholics and the Buddhists involved, it would be a great day!

A Mormon would vote for a Baptist before a Baptist would vote for a Mormon. My Father-in-Law is a Baptist Minister and he would vote for a monkey before voting for a Mormon or a Catholic.

I will be right there with you. The way things are shaking out it doesn't appear there are many of us left. So, we probably won't be missed. Well, not until it comes time for donations, because you know, "we got to beat Hillary", "we have to choose the lesser of two evils". This is my first Primary, and in the past, whoever the GOP electorate selected, I supported. I played that game twice, but not this time, and not ever gain.

proxy religious war

Proxy religious war, eh? (Does this mean that whatever fatal casualties we have from this war that the LDS church will step in & baptize them by proxy as well?)

It seems politically correct to say these types of things about baptists nowadays. I know many many baptists and they are not the religious bigots the PC crowd makes them out to be. I also know many many Mormons and yes, they are "good" people whatever that means.

I have personally begun to pray every day and night without ceasing that God gives America a great leader in this next election, whoever that will be. I also am praying that Hillary and the rest of the Clinton network not be those leaders because of the damage that they have done to this country and the evil their satanic beliefs and behaviors they will bring upon us. Even if one righteous person in all of America will pray this, God will answer. Let's all seriously start, thank you

I join in prayer as well. This is very important for all christians to do. God would like us all to come to Him with these important matters as well as daily matters.
