We are adults and most on FR are very intelligent persons. I think we can decide if a candidate is right for us.
How about stop repeating the same Gardasil, Texas corridor, immigration stories over and over and over. Most have seen them by now if they have been paying attention. Most have judged the stories and condemn Perry to hell for them or they think that a president just might have different priorities than a state governor.
Screaming at us in all caps isn't going to change any minds. FR isn't the entire universe of voters. We are a very small pool of voters. If you're hell bent on trashing a candidate, it is likely that your efforts are wasted trying to persuade FR posters to change their minds about a candidate. Start standing out by the road with a sign telling your horror stories, pestering people in restaurants and buying billboards and advertising in newspapers and TV. You will have much more impact.
If you insist on cherry picking the negatives, can we do the same to you reviewing every decision and action that you have taken in your life? How would that work out for you? Honestly showing everything you have done, could you withstand the scrutiny?
I realize some of you insist that we are making a horrible mistake. The primary isn't until next year. Stop screaming. OK?
I aint carthic I dont have a priest
I wasn't expecting an audition.
You’re live, Grizzled. 602 posts say so. Can’t believe you dropped the ball on that one.
Pfffff....GB is apparently flaming......
Not to be difficult, but someone who graduated from Queen's, McGill or the University of Toronto might well differ.
I did not know that! This thread sure is informative!...:oP
I'm not gay, but for you Screamer I might be willing to try (ya lil' cutie)!
LOL! Flamer......
Please explain how you came to that conclusion.

Can't quite find an answer to my question, "Prof?"

When we take that walk on the beach, would you like an ice cream cone? ***Wink***
Or possess the basic literacy to read any poll, from any source, anywhere, all of which, -and by all, I don't mean most or several but freaking every single one-, have shown that Palin has awful high negatives with a few specific groups. You may have heard of them. Factions, really. Subsets of splinters. What were they called again? Oh yeah.
Independents, Democrats and Republicans.
Them.
That's not to say that she's unelectable, but let's be reasonable. She's suffered some major damage over the years. It's not exactly letting the cat out of the bag to acknowledge that Sarah Palin doesn't enjoy the same reputation outside of FR that she does on it.
There isn't a single reputable poll from any org that shows Palin just waltzing to victory. It would be a very, very tough slog to undo the massive damage the media did to her image and pull out a win in a general, nationwide election. That ain't spin, it's reality.

I’m sorry, Buck. I’m having a great time following a less serious line at the moment. Are you aware of college rankings in America, and Canada?
Yea.....sure, idiot...I didn't know you were retarded.....
As my dear old departed dad use to say..."if it was easy it wouldn't be any fun.."...:oP
Are those “reputable” polls from the same organizations that claimed Kerry would “Waltz to victory?”
Let them. Mount Allison's superlatives speak for themselves.
No!Its what I get from listening to all the candidates and even the public. I’ve tuned my ear and thoughts to be sensitive to the public winds ever since as a young boy some 70 years ago and service overseas in WWII. I guess it was my first sgt. in basic training who taught me to listen carefully.
