Prayers up!!

Don't have a lot to spare Jim but I hope my $10 helps a bit. I appreciate the difficulty of your decision. Been a rough few months on FR. Sadly I'm gonna have to hold my nose and pick stalin over hitler and then deal with stalin later.

Amen. There is no way I would move core apps off-site. Better to own the hardware and the software.

Obama is a narcissist; he will not be affected by a weak plurality.

Clinton was a narcissist. The 43% plurality that he received by those who rejected both him AND HW Bush, made for the Republican Revolution. And Clinton wasn't loathed and despised, which -- regardless of what the MSM tries to deflect and spin -- IS what the majority of Americans feel about about Obama. He is a stinker to most Americans. His narcissim has him convinced of his invincibility. And you're buying it.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, MindBender26!! We will fight on!!

[Finny]

So the fact is we lost....it's not surrender...it's facing the reality and moving ahead to what we can do to shut them down.

That's as dispassionately accurate an assessment as I've seen. Exactly correct.

[JRandomFreeper]

Except that the primary isn't over, the convention isn't over, and Romney doesn't have the undisputed delegates to clinch the nomination.

Other than that, it's over, in some people's minds.

Thanks, Jim.

I was never an Anybody But Obama voter, and swore that I would never vote for Romney.

But I CANNOT and WILL NOT, under any circumstances, let my vote be FOR BHO. So if Romney is the nominee, I will hold my nose and throw up.

I am still hoping and praying that some miracle will come by the Hand of Providence and Romney will somehow NOT be the nominee.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, CatherineofAragon!!

For your liberal acquaintances.
Caution:
May cause some liberal heads to explode.

Voting for people who aren't running is beyond stupid.

For once I have to agree with you, gunner. Doing a write-in is off the table for me in terms of using my vote to its best effect.

Election Day this November will be the one real opportunity for all Americans to privately, and without fear of repercussions, express their like or dislike of Obama.

I think Americans hate the guy more than any President since Carter in 1980, and probably even more than that.

People always talk about how pompous and arrogant and unlikeable Newt Gingrich is. Obama is the same way plus he hates God, America, and white people. Americas hate that about him.

Obama is going to get shelled in November.

[Jim Robinson]

Thank you very much, tomkat!!

We are the resistance!!

Well said..

Thank you very much, ZULU!!

Hey -- God bless you and congratulations!!! on the new expected soul! HOORAY!!! That's going to be a lucky baby. God keep you.

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

I agree!!!

Can you “lease” the website concept you have developed? You keep the patent and rights, but allow it to be “used”..the format is incredibly THE best!!

I have gone to other sites on occasion to check out something or other and they are all awful to slog through!

[combat_boots]

Roger that, Sir.

I quit posting on campaign threads once I noticed that even people I chat with here were at each others’ throats.

To that end I propose a TRUCE among our conservative forces during the remainder of this election cycle.

Jim the convention is not until the last week in August. I have still not voted in the primary and neither have you. Anything could happen between now and the end of August and I am not going to sit by and surrender while there is still a snowball's chance in Hell that ANYBODY BUT ROMNEY might still get the nomination. There could be a scandal or Romney could decide not to run or he might pick some left wing liberal as a running mate.

I am not going to give in to any truce until there is no fight left in me. By his own admission the only tie Romney has to the Republican Party is that both Republican and Romney begin with an "R". We need to realize that if Romney gets the nomination and wins, then the first opportunity we will have to actually get a conservative president (one who will pick conservative constitutional judges and actually live by the constitution) will be in 2020.

Sorry Jim, but you and I part company on this one. I will continue the good fight. I WILL NOT SURRENDER!
