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

Posted on 02/20/2012 12:11:03 PM PST by dt57

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.

Okay, reading it again I see you were agreeing with Laz when he was pleading for him to stay in #125 and possibly exempting him from the “STFU NOOB rule”. But I can’t tell if he was being sarcastic about it. Original poster had said this...

“Anyway I am out of here. I am going to STFU. I will try and make better and more thougtful comments in the future. I will not post another thread for a long while. I appreciate the welcomes and will try to stay within the rules. God bless.”

You, of course look at it from your own reference point. What I was talking about was stuff like this...

#21 Piling on the poster about some misspelling, the first letter of a phrase not capitalized, and flawed logic when “this is my first post” was misunderstood to mean first comment. That, I think could be called berating someone. Misspellers are a fact of life...they would correct it if they knew the right spelling, but they don’t!

#26 Thread poster is accused of “bald faced lies” because he said “first post” meaning thread, not first comment on FR. Personal attack.

I scanned back throught the thread and at least a dozen other members picked up on the hazing type attitude and made positive commments to soften the sting for the original poster’s sake.

The original poster continued to reply, apologizing for any mistakes and commenting in a friendly way, then replying in #98 “ok, I will bite what is STFU.” Another personal attack involving profanity (we know what it means).

#108 Continued berating, to which the original poster apologizes.

Enough of this! He’s probably never coming back anyway.

Get off my case. There are thousands of people that like to read here, and who don’t like to see profanity in the threads. Members are asked to refrain from profane language...

Hey, not everyone posts articles. I've got 14 articles and over 40,000 replies.

Heh... You're clearly more verbose than I. I have, if I recall correctly, *ONE*, count them, one article, although I probably have more comments in reply...

Get off of MY case!!

When did I say I liked to see profanity here?

While you are at it....give me the names of these "thousands"?

Once again....are you the FR police? Did JR authorize you?

Frankly....you've taken me out of context at least once...and continue to bite my heels. Get over it!

You feel the need to reply for Laz...let’s drop it. I am not the voice of FR, I was simply asking Laz politely to not address his profane acronym STFU to me. It is not my style to trade insults.

Let's take care of one thing right here. And something you apparently don't know or don't want to abide by....

It's FR courtesy to "ping" those of who you speak of in a post...

Now let's address your comment.....Lazamataz can cover himself. Period.

You very much do, seem to think you are the "voice of reason" here at FR.

As for your "style"....you've shown it for all to see.

FWIW-

I think everyone should wear a helmet while posting here.

Seatbelts are also a consideration.

I know about the pings. I’m tired of this useless thread. Anyone can continue reading it that wants to...I’m finished with it. Here’s an exception to my habit of not trading insults.

Go suck on a lemon!
