Ping.
I don’t write many vanities, but the RINOs have screwed us this time.
That’s what happens when principle comes after “electability”, “Charisma”, “name recognition”, “Representatives can’t win” etc.
Now we don’t have any of those things and I would like to remind people that senators don’t have a great record of winning the white house either. I think one will this time but it will be a democrat senator.
Well, I share your frustration. But I think the paris hilton age of choosing politicians is upon us. And FR was no exception.
I second that. I think we can blame much of the conservative punditry for McCain being the nominee with a special mention to Sean Hannity, who supported both Giuliani and Romney.
note my new tag.
There was a time a few years ago that I thrilled at McCain as a "General Holland McTyeire 'Howlin' Mad' Smith" president -- the name "Howlin' Mad" Smith was given to Gen. Smith by his troops
Then came the "reaching across the aisle" -- the embracing and alliance with the crowd who by their "anti-war" activities and lies prolonged the war in Viet Nam and worse - you'd think for McCain -- prolonged the POWs captivity.
Why the hell did he do it?
As president will McCain keep on truckling to that crowd?
NOTE TO SELF: Must remember to start transmuting base elements into gold, early part of next week.
I agree. The RINO attack dogs came out and spread misinformation and vile. Conservative candidates like Fred, Ron, Duncan & Alan were attacked for their conservative stances. The attack dogs ridiculed other candidates supporters and showed up on every thread spreading lies and inuendo. Other candidates supporters were told that the GOP would be better off without them.
There was a HUGE difference between Romney and Giuliani. And I was proud to support my candidate, one of the sharpest, most able men to run for the presidency in quite awhile.
As for the rest of your post, you didn't hear people rooting for Romney making those kinds of arguments. I know I didn't.
It was conservatives like YOU, who so falsely labeled Romney, who gave us McCain. Unfortunately we are now all going to have to live with it.
FReepers might be important, but they are not that important.
Why isn’t it the fault of the voters who voted for McCain, 99.99% of them who have never heard of Free Republic?
The fact that the vast majority of Rudy supporters at this forum were either banned or left a year ago didn’t really affect the elections, did it?
“ANY Republican would nominate strict constructionists to the Federal bench”
Ah yes, the fab group led by McCain and the judgeship block. Ah yes.
If McCain’s staff and money ran out, how’d he win? Were the voting machines electronic? Do the provisional ballots outnumber the precinct voters...again?
Ping!!! I thought you might find this post of interest.
I like Fred. Do I get yelled at too?
Sorry, there WERE more conservative candidates but understand this: They didn’t get enough votes. Pretty simple really.
See, there’s this process where candidates have to get these little things called “votes”. The one with the most votes wins. That’s how it works. Don’t blame others— you’re the one that didn’t work hard enough to get votes for your guy. Whine to someone else.
...and I mean that in a nice way. :-)
I plan to keep my foot on those harpies’ necks as long as I can.
“So, if your real agenda was to destroy the GOP, you very well may have succeeded. If your agenda was to create a “Democrat Light” party, you have almost certainly succeeded. If your agenda was to keep the Democrats out of the White House, you have probably failed.”
Precisely. Thanks to the Rino cheerleaders, there’s only one way to keep Hillary out now. Vote Obama.
I imagine most’ll be clearing out of here soon. They did their damage and can go join the DU crowd they share so much with.
not sure what any ONE of us could have done.
is there any one all-powerful person you are referencing here at FR??
