..and do we have the numbers and the clout to pull it off?
When i read the post that started this thread, i took it to mean this:
“Do we have the clout to do something about thiss at the Convention?”
I am still praying for some sort of Tea Party rebellion in Tampa.
Don’t think it will happen.....but I’m still praying.
What do you think?
I think the large majority of the people who call themselves republicans would be pumped to have a winning candidate to actually vote FOR, for a change.
>>unlike yourself<<
Like I said, you’re more than welcome to talk to my hubby.
As for putting your name on FR, so? Lots of FReepers who run for office do. You’re not any different than others who run.
But as a mom, morals and integrity run high in my book. So the motherly advice stands.
Open and honest!
Yes that is how our system works. The Tea Party and every other party has lost in their efforts to obtain a conservative candidate.
If you’re running for office you should know that. BTW, “running” for office doesn’t mean squat. Anyone who isn’t a felon can run for office.
Winning doesn’t mean much either since most of Congress are criminal corrupt bastards.
Except you didn't. You spouted irrelevant gibberish and then essentially repeated your original point. Though at first you said all these conservatives were suppressing reason, now apparently they are just suspending it:
In the purest sense, any conservative who votes for Romney has suspended reason.
You are aggressively advocating something that all these people I mentioned completely oppose. What is it that you believe qualifies you to know better than Palin, Cheney, Rush, Levin, Hannity, Perry, Newt, etc, etc, etc, about how to cast our presidential ballots? You think all those intelligent conservative leaders have "suspended reason". Has it occurred to you that maybe you are just wrong? That, at minimum, most conservative leaders simply disagree with you - and that perhaps this attitude you have towards everyone who plans to vote for Willard as a means of getting rid of Hussein is misplaced.
The people you mentioned stated at the outset they would support whom ever the Republican nominee would be, that is for them to decide.
Who cares that they stated they were ABO from the outset. They said that because they believe that. What's that got to do with anything? They ALL still completely and utterly disagree with you. Stop acting all high and mighty and maybe consider you might not have all the answers. Of course everyone will make their own decision, but suggesting constitutional scholars like Mark Levin have "suspended reason" is just silly. Romney sucks, but most conservatives are going to vote for him because it is the only means of ejecting Hussein. I certainly understand that some people here feel differently, but the idea that all these conservative leaders are suppressing or suspending reason is ridiculous.
Reluctantly agree. But a vote for Mitt is a vote not to fix the party.
>>Breitbart is dead and not voting this election, btw.<<
I know, that makes me really sad.
*sigh* I’ll keep the tagline for a year, in memory of a great conservative.
I agree. Although M. Romney is too liberal, he is better than B. Obama. Eric Holder is reason enough for me to vote for Romney this time. As somebody posted, if Obama wins, he will really go wild during his second term.
As a great reporter I miss what he brought to the table.
>>I think the large majority of the people who call themselves republicans would be pumped to have a winning candidate to actually vote FOR, for a change.<<
You are so right!!! I just keep praying that there is something in the wings to help us. Newt, Sarah, Rush and Cheney, riding to the rescue!
I can dream!
But none of the links you posted were attacks, and you know that as well as I do. They were Romney’s usual milquetoast ramblings. The guy has SAID he won’t attack Obama.
“Reluctantly agree. But a vote for Mitt is a vote not to fix the party.”
I 100% agree, likewise a vote for BO is not a vote to fix the party.
Voting in the Presidential election isn’t the time or place to “fix” the party. Getting involved in local and state level GOP is the way to fix it. Get conservatives in positions of power within the GOP so that 2016 and 2020 we have a chance to influence the candidates.
Until then we can only hope to put good conservatives in positions where they can have a positive influence. The Cabinet, Senate, House, Supreme Court and so on.
>>As a great reporter I miss what he brought to the table.<<
I had to go back and rewatch the videos where he walked right into the “Belly of the Beast” and yelled right back at the protesters.
Ah those were the days.
Thanks, I’ve noticed they are suddenly back around again. They are as persistent as termites.
EV prefers rudeness and attacks, whether based on truth or not.
Stop wasting our time and wasting the thread. Move on.
>>The guy has SAID he won’t attack Obama.<<
BO is personally liked. Attacks of his person won’t work anyway. Only his policies and the season hasn’t even started yet.
Anything that he says is worse than what McCain cooed at BO.
That was what the original poster was saying. McCain did nothing.
u mean dream on
Stop with the insults and I’ll stop posting to you
...chosen a side yet?
