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.

Disagree, again, you don’t set the standards for the board.

Disagree all you wish. The USERS and CONTRIBUTORS and CULTURE
of Free Republic will collectively give a thumbs up or thumbs down.

If someone shows up and starts posting crap, do not the ranks close?
Are they not chastised? Should they not be? We have standards.

True, it isn't my function to make that determination.
I am but one of many who would prefer not to see Free Republic
become a vanity-hole full of ill conceived poorly written misspelled garbage.

Perhaps you don't care.

Here’s link to a FR page called “Articles Posted by dt57” (click on “Articles” tab on his posting history page)...anyone can see that there’s only one “Article” posted.

So I don’t think dt57 guilty of a “bald-faced lie” as you said. Post can mean more than just making a comment on an existing “Article”.

http://www.freerepublic.com/tag/by:dt57/index?tab=articles

So, welcome to Free Republic dt57. I think your ideas are more interesting than some of the fluff that gets posted in the Chat section. I hope you stick around.

Thanks. I am not the enemy. I am old enough to know who is though, I am pretty sure it is not you. Feel free to straighten me out as you see fit. My skin isn’t that thick, but it is old skin so it has lost it’s sensitivity. I know I can’t spell, and my computer is so damn old that if I spell check it goes into a dead ass funk. So, that is just the way it is.

Well you know that's kind of interesting right there.

I've had disagreements with a large part of the culture here.

I don't really care for Sarah Palin, for example. Made rather an
ass of myself about it, too. For a long time. Folks didn't like it.

Ultimately, Jim asked me to knock it off.

So I did and will, damned straight.

This is a fine example of the culture here and adherence to it
and Jim Robinson being the boss of it. Seems pretty clear to me.

I happen to agree with most of what you say but I won't admit it because you are a newbie. We don't agree with newbies for a year or so.

OK. Apparently you're not a jerk. You're new and will have to withstand the smarmy comments of those select few who jump at the chance to smear a newbie (I should know....I'm one of them).

While vanities are generally frowned on, I believe this thread was a very good way of introducing yourself. You'll soon learn our nomenclature and obscure references.

If you have any probs, feel free to contact me and remit a check for $29.95 plus shipping.

And keep a good sense of humor.

“Perhaps you don’t care. “

Of course I care. I think you should be nice to your fellow conservatives, not so hostile. We are supposed to be FRiends, here. He’s not posting heresy.

Well, a vote for Romney tells the Republican establishment it’s okay, the suckers will vote for faux conservatives. Not voting sends a message. I agree with everything dt57 wrote.

“by proxy you vote for Barry.”

Oooo. A new syndrome, worthy of Munchausen: Barry by proxy.

OK, noob. Prepare to be hazed. My first thread was a vanity. Dang, that stung. By the way, the universal answer is 42. Or Thailand. Care for a burka?

Not the WORST vanity I have ever seen.

Persevero needs to STFU noob, though.

Not sure because this is my first post. -- dt57
Bald faced lies within two sentences with more than 25 prior posts. Typical and predictable.

Oh good grief, he meant thread instead of post. You just want to pick on someone for their wording. We all know what he meant.

dt, some are so "gun shy" around here from trolls that they can't use their own thinking and reasoning abilities...

Don’t know why you need $29.95 I submitted my bank account number and routing number earlier in the thread just like I was asked to do. Isn’t that something everyone does?

I agree with all that, with the addition of elimination of the F word in all of its permutations. It's been done to death.

And I long for one whole session I spend here with perfect usage of your / you're.

Call me a dreamer.
