His article along those lines surprised me.

After a bit of discussion he now agrees with This.

LoFo “conservatives”.

They are correct, you are not.

So you support the low information voters way of voting?

They are right, I am not?

LOL GOPe counselor, you rest your case...

The Lofo Mofo is still ranting on, it took him hours to respond.

You know, it’s almost sad, I’m sure that’s the guilt speaking. The depression, after having allowed Obola to win, must be suffocating.

Political neophytes influenced by the GOPe don’t want to be confused with the facts.

Less than two hours, but who’s counting?

Oh yeah right, you.

And behind my back no less, no ping.

Good argument, especially the following

Don’t you think calling those you disagree with a M F’er is a bit much?

http://www.internetslang.com/MOFO-meaning-definition.asp

But you like cutsie terms, like Obola.

Hard to take you seriously.

Maybe the ghost of RR will come out of the shadows and save them ( save us all) that is what they are expecting. I would like nothing better but in the mean time I am voting against every libtard that I can. I am donating my money to Ted Cruz but if he doesn’t make it out of the primary I will cast my vote for the one who does.

Thank you , thank you, thank you for such a hard-hitting exposé! I had NO idea that politicians were ever involved with “grifting”. I’m just so stunned I can hardly even type this thank you comment.

Heretofore, to the best of my understanding, all politicians throughout the history of our country have always been honest and deeply concerned about the spiritual and material comfort and happiness of our citizens and concerned about little else, especially not their own wealth and re-election.

And now I find out that after all these centuries CONSERVATIVE Republicans are the TRUE culprits of evilness because they’ve apparently broken the ancient mold of historical political honestness and for the first time in history our country now might finally have politicians that are “grifters”. I tell you, I’m stunned, just stunned.

Here, I will bring you up to speed.

There was a Presidential election in 2012, in which Obama ran as the incumbent.

He won in 2008 with the help of MASSIVE voter fraud and the Republicans.

McCain "ran" on the GOP side. He was the next in line.

About a month before the election, he stated that Obama was a fine person and we had nothing to fear from him, and that he would make a good president.

That was where the GOPe threw the election to Obama.

They wanted to be a part of history, helping a "black" person get elected to the Presidency.

Although myself and many others (including The Tea Party Express) did all we could to get the GOP to nominate someone that believed in our Constitutional Republic and would preside from the White House following the Constitution, they chose to run Romney, the next in line again.

Because of that, the Tea Party Express, along with many other Americans, got behind Romney to try to prevent Obama from having a second term.

You may have noticed that Romney went out of his way to NOT hit Obama with any of the real good stuff that would have exposed his Marxism and his connection with the Islamic political system.

He had his marching orders from the GOPe

So yes, I voted for Romney.

Many people didn't because they refused to vote for the lesser of two evils.

Which I will NOT do in the future if the GOP gives us another establishment loser for their candidate in the next pres election cycle.

If Romney runs again, the LIV (that's the accepted term for Low Information Voters, not LoFo M'Fers) LDS will vote for him as well as ordinary LIV's.

And he has a very similar agenda to Obama's...Jarrett, muslim brotherhood etc etc taking over the world.

The Mormons have been trying for a long time to get one of their own in the White House, because they have massive plans to change the USA into a theocracy with the LDS as the "theo" part.

"The goal is to 'bring the United States Government under the rule of the priesthood.'"

But that is another matter, hopefully it won't have to be dealt with in the next pres election.

Bear in mind, the GOPe has you in their camp.

If they nominate another "moderate" candidate, they know they can depend on you to vote for him/her, whoever it is.

So they will continue, along with other left leaning groups (dems, media etc) to spread lies about prominent Tea Party orgs.

The GOP and the dems are scared of the power of the people, ie the TPM.

Don't worry, we have your back.

It was 3 percent of the people that fought in the war against King George, the rest of them decided fighting to create the USA "may be all done."

Now there are another three percent that will fight until the last minute to restore our Constitutional Republic and protect the Constitution.

We will let you know when it's safe.

Or you could join in.
