I have always thought it was fixed to especially since Jimmy Carter and they gave us a real look after he won the election his family. the only thing missing in Dog Patch USA was his mother without her corn pone pipe. I was a lot younger than; but I knew something was wrong.

I said that only because I have lost patience with our low life elected officials.

You are right. I have been telling my husband forever about these creeps. He finally saw tape of video of Obama and listened to him. Was shocked beyond belief.

Rush when Romney loses the GOP establishment will be saying “we should have gotten someone more moderate instead of that conservative Romney.

“The only thing I can tell you, Ken, is that Romney came by here in January. I think it was the 13th, the middle of the month. And I met with him after the show. It was about 4:30. I met with him for almost an hour, and he left here for a huge fundraiser a mile down the road, mile and a half. And during that conversation — I’ve mentioned this to you — he said to me that he wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up being a one-term president because he’s got to shake things up. This country can’t go the direction it’s going or his children and grandchildren and nobody else’s will have a future. When he was talking about that, he sounds just like you and me.”

Hate to say this, but Rush you are incredibly naive if you bought that. Of course, you wouldn’t be the first gullible person to fall for a Mormon snake oil salesman.

Whatever, I WILL NOT SUPPORT ROMENY EVER.

I hope person’s that were inclined to vote for Santorum in coming primaries will give their votes to Newt. I want to see this convention be “open.” I don’t think Romney will prevail IF he fails to get the magic number that will give him enough votes on the first ballot.

GOP - You had better get someone other than Romney IF you want this life long GOP voter to support the nominee in the general election. I will not vote for Romney.

The aggregate of the Tea Party is large enough to take over the American, Conservative, and the Constitution parties. Then draft Palin and put her at the top of each ticket. Don’t ask her just do it. Then all of us get out and campaign like it’s the end of the world, because it is.

When ever a media personality attacks Palin, swamp them with E-MAILS, phone calls even face to face and ram their slurs back down their throats.

Two major hurdles ahead. The first is winning in November. Conservatives see the coming election as starting to look much too much like 2008 where McCain got the nomination and then rolled over and refused to seriously attack Obama.

I was a Rick guy, but with him gone I'm now an ABO guy. Regarding Romney attacking our Dear Leader, I'll give him credit so far. He has been scathing on Obama and his failed policies. Will he continue that in the run-up to November? My gut says yes, since he's a different kind of guy than McCain (in that regard). Romney, like Gingrich, has an edge to him and that bodes well for our side, particularly once the MSM begins pounding him.

Whomever our eventual nominee is, they'll have to fight twice as hard.

Oh to be sure, you will not be standing alone. You might be on the hilltop alone, but you won't be alone in not voting for Romney.

Me, I will more than likely be playing golf. Can't do any worse there than throwing away my vote for the GOPE candidate.

"If so, why didn't the TrueConservativeTM get the nod? There is only so much we can blame on "the old-line party apparatus", and "smoke-filled rooms"."

It's not just the old-line party apparatus...

I WILL NOT VOTE FOR MITT

If that's your hardcore attitude then I look forward to your post of the photo of the "Obama 2012" bumper sticker on your car. Even the much-loved Sarah Palin said "anyone but Obama." I agree with her, not you. Four more years of Obama would be a disaster.

You have a gay liberal media that has been pimping Romney since 2006.

I would like to point out it was the same M.O. with McCain and the media when he ran for president during Bush's run. Then he stayed close with the media until he was the actual presidential canidate for the GOP. Then of course they completely turned on him.

Mitt said just what Rush would like to hear. Rush should not believe a word of it.

I’m done settling. I’m done with the GOP.

They want my support, nominate a candidate who isn’t pro abortion, pro gay marriage and pro public healthcare.

Amen! I'm tired of people telling me that a Big Government liberal from Massachusetts who is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and pro-gun grabbing and who has an (R) next to his name is somehow better than a Big Government liberal from Chicago who is pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and pro-gun grabbing and who has a (D) next to his name.

Romney is just another in a line of Republican nominees going back to George H. W. Bush who do nothing but lose to Democrats, increase the size, power, and expense of the federal government, and/or who turn the White House over to Democrats - George H. W. Bush, Bob Dole, George W. Bush, John McCain, and now it looks like Willard Romney, and Romney is the most liberal of the bunch.

I have seen nothing in Romney's history to suggest that he will reverse what George W. Bush and Barack Hussein Obama did in expanding the size, power, expense, and intrusiveness of the federal government. NOTHING!

If anything, what I've seen with Romney's history is that he will simply build upon what George W. Bush and Barrack Hussein Obama have saddled us with, and it will do nothing but hasten us down the road to socialism.

I look forward to your post when you finally realize that a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and pro-gun grabbing liberal from Massachusetts isn't going to beat a pro-abortion, pro-gay marriage, and pro-gun grabbing liberal from Chicago who has quite a bit more money than him.

Go ahead though, bend over and spread for the liberal GOP leadership, and do exactly what they tell you.

I’d settle for conservatives getting off their lazy butts and showing up at a local village or county council meeting. I was in local government for nearly 20 years, and getting a conservative to show up a village meeting was like asking a vampire to attend a sunrise cross ceremony.”

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!!!

In both secular and ecclesiastical politics, too many conservatives who care about their families, businesses and churches don't understand that the liberals care about taking control of the levers of power which can destroy all three.

I can't begin tell you how many times I've had to argue with elders who give lots of time to their local church, but didn't want to take time off work to attend classis, synod, presbytery, or general assembly meetings, and then groused their heads off when the liberals won a key denominational vote. Same for local government, where the best candidates for city council and school board and county commission — the typical training grounds for candidates for state legislatures, which are the typical training grounds for candidates for Congress — are often people who are very comfortable with government bureaucracies rather than private business.

I am definitely **NOT** saying that a career government official makes a bad elected official — sometimes they know where all the bodies are buried and after retirement go on a crusade against waste and abuse. On the other hand, too many conservative businessmen and businesswomen don't get involved in local government and prefer to complain about how the country is collapsing around them.

In a nation where people elect their leaders, the people typically get more or less the government they deserve. That's not blaming individual people, especially Freepers who are working their tails off, but it is a problem for the conservative movement. As a group, we are so concerned about building our homes, our families, our businesses, our churches and our schools that we fail to recognize that what happens in the sphere of civil government can destroy everything for which we have worked in the spheres of the family and the church.

Conservatives, especially conservative Christians, ignore civil government at our peril.

Miz Lillian? She wasn't missing. She didn't have a corn cob pipe, however we don't know whether she did not chew, or rubbed betwixt her teeth and gum.
