Well, considering it has stayed up, you're getting your undies in a major-league twist over something you can't do anything about - because most people DO understand the concept of a metaphor.
You may have the last word, you cannot reason a person out of a position they didn't use reason to reach in the first place, so any futher effort at reasoning with you is a waste of electrons.
Did you read Jim Robinson’s comments to you? You’re in meltdown, take a nap and come back when you can be more rational.
Cute. Anything else?
EXCUSES, EXCUSES and more EXCUSES.
Yes, you do know the answer. If you don’t, you’re lying. It’s been reported here hundreds of times, the bulk of which was DIRECTLY to you.
Oh, and by the way, I’m adult enough where I usually don’t have to have the last word, but in this case, I will have the last word, because it’s too important of a subject.
I took to listening pretty carefully and closely to Mitt, and found that the only way in which he was "well spoken" was in mouthing platitudes that are music to conservatives' ears. From his CPAC speech last year, he often tossed forth "well-spoken" confetti like "conservative principle," "We believe in Democracy. We respect the will of the people," "We need to advance a conservative plan based on free choice and personal responsibility and private medicine," "Conservatives favor clear, streamlined, up-to-date regulations and laws that let the economy work," and the most deceiving of all, "The invisible hand of the marekt is more powerful than the lumbering machinery of the government."
NOT that those well-spoken platitudes aren't true or mostly true, and certainly that last one is positively Reaganesque in its wisdom -- but they are deceptive as to indicating where Romney REALLY wants to take us. When you listen to the OTHER parts of Romney's speeches, you hear him put forth proposed "solutions' that directly contradict those pretty, well-spoken platitudes. The SCARIEST sentence in that CPAC speech (the same CPAC where Rush spoke) was:
"Cap and trade would tax American citizens and American employers and send buisness and jobs to high-poluting nations." (Sounds GREAT, right? Very well spoken! But then the next words out of this phony clown's mouth were: "Any carbon plan has to be world-wide in scop. Let's have a world-wide solution, not an American one."
I really hope Republicans get the picture that "well-spoken" though Romney may be, those well-spoken items are frills, decorations, confetti; the reality is that conservative principle sails over Romney's head.
Romney is bad news. Sure, he helped Brown in MA, but so did I. Who knows -- maybe the money we sent to Brown from our house put him over the top; it's downright sh*tty of Romney to claim credit for Brown's win. Romney is a big government Daddy's Home Republican who so waters down any contrast between Republicans and Democrats that regardless of whether he wins or loses, he guarantees a loss for Americans.
Democrats and socialists threaten the present, but build hope for the future as people turn to the Republican party for an authentic limited-government alternative. Big government nanny state Republicans like Romney are MORE DANGEROUS because although their intrusive government threat to the present is on a slower timetable than the Democrats', they wholly sabotage hope for the future because people throw up their hands in defeat and despair and have reason to say, "There's not a dime's worth of difference between the two parties." THAT is the death knell, not Democrats per se.
The GOP and Republicans going so far left, so far toward big government and intrusive nanny-statism, not only made Obama possible, it made Obama inevitable.
ROMNEY IS BAD NEWS FOR AMERICA.
I said I don’t know, so I don’t know.
I don’t lie.
If you have a link to possibly refresh my memory, post it.
Take two naps.
This could be a good choice for Sarah in 2012........
Or two Estroven!
You’re lying right now, Lady. So just a reminder for the folks who KNOW the truth that you’re willfully choosing to conceal, Slick Willard NEVER voted for Reagan. Not once. He proudly boasted he never voted for Reagan or Bush. So you do grave insult and injury hiding behind Reagan’s good name in defending a Socialist slimeball and con artist who cast his lot with Carter, Mondale, Dukakis and Clinton (and y’know what ? I’ll bet he voted for Gore, Kerry and Zero, too).
“I was an independent (liberal Democrat) during the time of Reagan-Bush. I’m not trying to return to Reagan-Bush.” — Slick Willard
But that's what he will end up doing. He's insidiously dangerous and destructive; when when people like me, who absolutely OPPOSE Romney, send money to a guy like Brown -- admittedly a moderate Republican who would only get my support in the most extreme of circumstances, such as the race in MA -- the oportunistic Romney claims credit for Brown's win in the sense that he portrays himself as a kind of party kingmaker, and hence takes MY effort and claims it as his own.
I'll bet that tens of thousands of genuine conservatives who donated to Brown resent the hell out of Romney for acting as if he was the guy who put Brown over the top. If we tens of thousands hadn't sent Brown money ... would Brown have won? After all, all of Romney's dough and more than a year on the campaign trail still failed him in the 2008 primaries.
Romney is poison to the GOP.
zot ph
"GET OFF MY LAWN!"
Lurkers, people, fellow FReepers, understand that "Stay Off My Threads" GOP_Lady (false advertising in a screen name if there ever was) is symbolic of the whole Mitt Romney mindset. The behavior of Romney sycophants -- and GOP_Margaret (nicknamed by me because she's so much like Margaret in "Dennis the Menace") is certainly one -- speaks volumes about their candidate.
Overtly, we're in a war against Obama and the Democrats. Covertly and more importantly, the REAL war is against those who claim the GOP label but who presume superiority and betray limited government conservative principle. That movement is what made Obama inevitable, and that movement must be halted if we want to maintain American freedom.
You are a dunce.
Your use of Reagan is disgusting.
To quote from “Who Framed Roger Rabbit, GOP_Margaret is “one seriously disturbed ‘toon.”
And I’m good with that. A behind the scenes money broker is fine with me. But step anywhere near the national stage, uh, no.
