Bull crap. The worst fields were in 1996 and 2008.
This cycle the great sport is to label someone, anyone, a RINO. For crying out loud I've seen Sarah Palin accused of RINOism. (Remember, she endorsed McCain for the Senate.)
In the end you just have to sort it out for yourself. There is a lot of noise. Full of sound and fury but often signifying nothing. But there is a lot of cogent commentary here as well by smart people who have put a lot of thought into their positions. They shouldn't dictate your opinion, but they can offer advice. It is entirely up to you to accept or reject it.
I'd say that's a fairly accurate assessment.
Perhaps the American people have lost the capacity to select able men. Piece of evidence number one: America elected “The Divine One.”
Completely agree. That more FReepers don’t get that we need to beat BHO above all else just kills me.
I think we’ve got a couple of good options. Just hope everyone gets behind that person and votes.
“...against Obama I would vote for Micky Mouse as it would be better for my country.”
Likewise, although a poster on an earlier thread preferred an immediate collapse into full-fledged socialism because it might cause some patriots to fight back. I think he has no idea what that reality would be like (and I can only imagine - but it’d be grisly at best, for a very long time).
it’s not the candidate that can really “save the country”, it’s us. We have to stay involved, we have to hold their feet to the fire, we have to demand the actions we seek. Most of all, we need to get Obama out of office and replace him with anyone with a pulse and we need to have the legislative power to override him/her when we feel they’re wrong.
I blame the people that have a purity test and refuse to accept someone just because he/she doesn’t walk 100% in lockstep with an idea of what they feel conservatism should be. I’d rather have someone in charge that agrees with me most of the time than someone that considers me an enemy and has loosed his unhinged “Me Party” communist brown shirts (their shirts are brown from being worn for weeks) to threaten and intimidate me.
Folks are of course free to vote for another fake conservative this time around. and I am free to silently mock them for being stupid, just as I do every election year.
Romney? Cain? Gingrich? It won’t matter a bit in the end. You’ll get a con artist no matter who you support.
I find the electoral process highly entertaining. It’s like watching a whore crying when her pimp slaps her across the face. “You knows you loves it, baby. Dat’s why you keeps comin’ back fo’ mo’.”
We haven't had a parliamentary form of government in this country for over 200 years.
You’re right RR. I’ve been saying for weeks that Jesus Himself could be on the ticket but it wouldn’t be good enough. Something about ‘loving your neighbor’ and the money changer thing would be a deal killer. It’s lunacy.
You got THAT right!
I would vote for Ed Gein’s corpse over Obama.
What are you, some kind of RINO?
(Just kidding. You make a good point. Any Republican is better than any Democratic candidate.)
That isn't Megatron
THIS is Megatron!
Go Lions!
In retrospect it’s pretty clear Trump was merely Cain’s stalking horse.
Excellent advice.
LMAO!!
Need to learn history. I have to admit that if it gets too bad going “galt” may become an option. But that would have to happen before everything was already taken away?
2008 - I voted for Palin
2000, 2004 - I voted for GWB
1996 - I voted for Dole
1988, 1992 - I voted for GHWB
1980, 1984 - I voted for Reagan.
2012 - There are two, maybe three that I could get enthused about.
