Free Republic

Dinner was fine. Saw three buddies from my Kiwanis club and another couple I worked with years ago, who we haven’t seen for some time. The meat loaf was fine as usual, but I passed on the pie this time. After Thanksgiving, I need to reign it in a little...

We bought one of those large Hamilton Beach crock pots a year or so ago with the slide out insert. We love it and do a lot of our cooking in it. I just might do a roast today for dinner tonight when the wife gets home. That insert sure makes it easy to clean...

I despise RINOS, but yes, they are better than Obongo. ANY RINO is better than the Kenyan Marxist. At least RINOS like McCain do usually vote with the Repubs. I don’t consider Snowe and Collins RINOS. They are closet Dems.

Don’t get me wrong. George W. Bush is a fine, decent man. His love and respect for our troops deserves our thanks, as does everything he’s done to keep us safe. He is a religious man who believes in the sanctity of life. For that, God will look kindly on him.

On the other hand, if we can credit him with these things (as we should) we should also credit him with those things that run against conservative doctrine, and not give him a pass by blaming it on others who reported to him. He had the final decision.

This is not to say he wasn’t misled. He was. But as president, the buck stops at his desk. It’s what the office is all about.

Then we have Amnesty. McCain, Graham and Mel Martinez were instrumental on the Republican side in crafting/supporting the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006, and Bush supported the effort. We are the sum of the decisions we make, and both the bailout and Immigration Reform were bad ideas for America. I’m sorry, but with all his good and fine traits, he failed us in two key areas (not to mention the great increase in government spending over his second term).

If we’re to hold our leaders accountable, we must do so with clear vision and with willingness to hold all accountable. I voted for the man twice. Both times with joy. But in his second term, I came to realize he was not the man we needed for the crisis that was brewing. That made me sad, but I can’t let those failures pass.

HELL NO to liberals and RINOS!! Free Republic will not support RINOS!! Rudy McRomney, et al, can go straight to hell!! The strategy is we win, they lose.

that's the only antidote to the poison the cultists have put in the koolaid. Newtie sunk the R party almost single handed with his Algore koolaid!

Thanks for the information. Didn’t know that...

Repeatedly making that unfounded slur says much more about you than it does about me.

It's not unfounded. It's based upon your words on this thread, in multiple posts. That's what's telling.

Cedric was one of the more clever trolls. He raised disingenuousness to an art form ;-). I rarely bothered to argue with him, because he made me too damn angry. Not that he scored any points on me. He just angered me to no end. He would pimp the devil himself if there was the requisite(R) after their name ;-)

Cedric be DAID?!?!

Great googa-mooga, ze Zot gods done GOT HIM!

BWHAHAHAAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!! :)

And if you need more, here are a few comments from one of your fellow state citizens, you might consider what MplsSteve has to say, as he seems to view Pawlenty more realistically than you do:

"Pawlenty has insinuated that the GOP needs "to grow up" and expand its horizons.

Pawlenty has jumped on the Green bandwagon with his support of ethanol and other "green initiatives".

Pawlenty balanced several Minnesota budgets thru the use of fees - which is a violation of his 2002 No New Taxes pledge.

Pawlenty supported and signed the Minnesota Twins stadium bill - and in the process denied Hennepin County voters the right to hold a referendum as to whether they wanted to be taxed for it."

Bon appetit!

So now it's not about being a "rino" but hometown boy who can't inspire??
Do you always move the goalposts/

It's about both, so quit your whinin', Pawlenty isn't going to be President, s deal with it, ya loser.
