The premise you are sick of many of us firmly believe.
You lost me right there.
Dufflepuds. I like that.
All too true, but you have to remember how many rotten, panty-peeing, brat Repubs. are out there still furious that they didn’t get their way. Probably the most spoiled, self-indulged conglomerate of people on the planet other than that ‘other’ group.
I am sure they won’t compromise with anyone that would emasculate them. Or, redefine conservatism while giving it lip service.
Or, take a strong position and then at the moment of truth breakdown and cry and just give in to the enememy?
Otherwise, we’re all rinos, now!
>Romney will spell the beginning of a liberal republican party
Oh right. Let the people elect and then re-elect a Marxist and the lesson will be to the Republican party that it needs to become more conservative at the national level.
It takes some special kinda blind faith to believe re-electing the Marxists will help create a more conservative Republican party or America.
Thank you for those comments. If all of Romney's fans will take to heart this important admonition, the next several weeks will be much more pleasant around here. Romney has been a very divisive character, but he will be gone soon and we need to begin planning for a post-Romney forum based upon a renewed respect for one another. This forum will be stronger than ever.

In 2008, after the McCain/Palin ticket lost, due in large part to conservatives convincing other conservatives to NOT vote for that ticket, the refrain was......wait unti 2012, we’ll see a “real conservative” receive the nomination. A bunch of conservatives ran for president and all during the primary process, the same people who convinced conservatives to not vote for McCain/Palin were trashing all of the conservatives, of course, one at a time.
Now, the same group is saying “wait until 2016 when a real conservative runs”.
In 2016, we’ll hear, ‘wait until 2020”....and on and on it will go.
Meanwhile, the liberals have circled the wagons, we’re still in the circular firing squad.
Hate to break this to you, but, Romney/Ryan is going to win in what will essentially be a landslide.
My reading of the ABR’s are that they are not concerned about the horrors you have related. Many of them are probably on fixed incomes, govt checks. They do not have the responsibilities of running businesses, making payrolls, etc. It frees them to become holier than thou. But for us who have real world responsibilities, we know what is required this November.
What's the plan? I'm all ears.
I know Jim, you and others believe in your hearts that Romney is pure evil. ...more so than Obama even which I find unbelievable.
So what is the plan to nominate and elect a Christian T.E.A. Party Constitutionalist to the presidency in 2016 if Obama should win in Nov.?
America needs a CONSERVATIVE POTUS...Agreed! Now for the difficult part (for you, at least): Name a sufficiently-conservative (to you) candidate that stands a snowball's chance of winning in 2012. If you can't do that, try naming a candidate that conservatives *would* all align behind and push to the top for 2016 (or later, if it takes that long). Surely, you have a candidate in mind...
They don't have a plan except a plan to be perpetually outraged. They'll back a clown of the week who can't even win over the conservative leaning Republican party and has zero chance of winning a general election. They'll split their primary votes between various losers because let's face it, no one can please them.
Bingo - meeting payroll the last 4 years has become a nightmare, my AR is harder then ever to collect, the economic environment is a disaster.
I drive around and see so many vacancies and commercial space open and empty, and ask myself - why would anyone on earth want to continue down this path?
And all of the people who claim they can’t vote for Mittens in November - they should come clean about their voting record from 1988 on so we can see how consistent they have been and whether Mittens is being held to a different standard than others.
I have voted for the GOP nominee for office since 1994 which was my first election and never looked at is a test of my conscience.
Sometimes you make the best of two bad options, thats life.
Had Myth picked Sarah to be the VP you and I both know what the reaction would have been by many of these people.
One could expect Romney will seek to build political clout with the dems by appointing leftist judges. Which is exactly what he did in Massachusetts.
What are the rules/procedures for selecting and appointing state judges in MA? How much freedom does the Gov. have to select at random anyone he wants as a judge? Or is the Gov. mandated to select from a list provided by some committee/panel?
Do you know the procedures in MA? If you do please share with us. Thanks.
