I am sure everyone wants to know what I think. (YIKES)

ok, guess this is what is called a vanity. Not sure because this is my first post. So give me a break ok? WE are now down to 4 candidates. Here is how I see it. There will be no surprizes for anyone who has read my posts.

1. Ron Paul. A true fiscal conservative that I would vote for in a heart beat if he had a clue about our enemies and how much they hate us and want to destroy us and our way of life.

2. Mitt Romney. All he has to offer is that he really, really, really wants to be President. Well, good for him. The problem is when that is your sole motivatiion, you will do anything to win. It is sickening. I can not vote of this man.

3. Rick Santorum. A good family man, and an above average Senator for PA. A true second tier candidate any field (except the one we have.) He is a fair communicator and fair debator. I will vote for him, if he is the one. Can he win, I doubt it.

4. Newt Gingrinch. A flawed candidate with a lot of (known) bagage. I happen to believe they all have past sins, it is just his are really out there to say the least. Newt can articulate the conservative message better than anyone since Ronald Reagan. I hope he wins.

5. A brokered or contested convention. This will insure an establishment republican. I know many say Rick and Newt will put their delegates together. I will have to see that to believe it.

[Lazamataz]

OK, that's you. Can we get opinions from some normal folks now? Beuller? Anybody?

(good luck finding normal people on FR)

[Lazamataz]

Dude, I am already married, and what makes you think I am not a chick?

Therefore: He can be killed and we can marry.

Again.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Well I have been here longer than you.

Continuously, that is.... ;)

[humblegunner]

That’s your opinion. But considering that we’re nearing the end (I hope) of a nearly two month long fundraiser to cover current expenses for this quarter, I go back to what the site mangement stated about it...

“With all that said, we need to grow. We need to be far more welcoming to new members and guide them into how to use our community best. With this said, we are issuing a challenge to our long time Freeper family. We would like to start up a ‘welcome wagon’ type of ping list or group whose job it is to welcome new members, show them the ropes, and guide them through our community. This could be as simply as giving new members a kind welcome, guiding them to how to post topics or replies, or just making the experience pleasant.

As this is your community, we would like your thoughts, ideas, and most importantly, for some of you to step up and help us with this.

We are passing the ball to you. What do you think?”

Later, I got to go cook. But don’t worry I am looking for the rat posion. No wait, I got a better idea, we can run off to Utah and meet ol’ Deacon (or whatever the F he is)Mitt there and we can...oh never mind, it is multiple wives. Not really very fair. Later

A fairly good summation. I’d add that I wouldn’t mind a brokered convention. There are a lot of issues in the GOP that needs to be aired out. (and my hope that Palin outwits the GOP-E!)

Blog is short for web log. A lot of people write about all sorts of things on the Internet in their blogs. To make money, they accept advertising and must provide eyes for it.

A problem can arise with bloggers because they troll the Internet for places to publish excerpts to their blogs with links to their own web site and the balance of the articles.

When people follow the links to the blogs, their hits are counted, and the bloggers get paid depending on how many hits they generate (eyes on the ads).

The problem can be that some of the bloggers have malware and viruses on their sites. Also some bloggers use an attractive teaser (excerpt), but there can be little content in their actual blog. They're called blog pimps, and they're frowned upon here because they take our FReepers away and sometimes infect their computers. In addition, this is a user-supported site, and they can post here for free and use us and what we paid for to make money off us like vampires. They usually aren't worth the click.

There is nothing wrong with bloggers, but we do have problems with blog pimps.

This is pretty sketchy, and I probably left a lot out, but I'm sure that you can get the general idea.

Groupies...

Another name for stalkers...

Keep Lizzy at high alert.

[Osage Orange]

You're kidding right?

Apparently you didn't read my posts...

Considering all the negative posts towards the poster on this thread...You picked mine????

In which I agreed with Laz!!

LOL!!

Context is important.........: )

[Lazamataz]

I love you. dt57 weaseled out of our engagement. I’m free to get married to you now.

[dt57]

Thanks. As far as I know, I nor none of my children or their children are involved with that activity. But then I don’t know everything they are up to, and I have come to the conclusion I don’t want to know everything. Good information, thanks.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Considering all the negative posts towards the poster on this thread...You picked mine????

That's because it's well known that FReepers who joined in late 2000 are all weenies.

[thackney]

Careful Laz, This one is armed.

She may even make you bath with soap.

[Osage Orange]

If you ever get to N.E. Oklahoma....eat here.

STFU is Shut the FReep Up, but not “FReep,” if you catch my drift.

[dt57]

Thanks, yes I figured that one out. I am old but I have lived a little. Did I tell you I really like Newt?

[Lazamataz]

Careful Laz, This one is armed. She may even make you bath with soap.

[PapaBear3625]

I actually agree with just about everything you said in your post.
