Mr. Billings, you relate to the candidates who won't make you feel uncomfortable. Someone who spouts conservative rhetoric but isn't a "fanatic" about it. Someone the media doesn't hate.
In other words, Mr Billings, you desire the same old candidate we always get. You want someone who is more comfortable inside-the-beltway than out in greater America. Someone who talks a good game but doesn't do a f*****g thing once they are elected. Mr Billings, our country is burning and you want to pour gasoline on the fire. WAKE UP!!!
Well said, upsdriver.
"rock-ribbed"? Gee, where on earth do we ever hear that term used? Ah, I remember. It is a phrase used by liberals to describe those people in the opposing party who they also characterize as "independent-minded" and worst of all..."mavericks".
The choice of words, to those who pay attention to liberal-speak, is not a coincidence.
