Ah! The predictable Ann bashing.

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan, “A man who is 80% my friend is not 20% my enemy”. It seems like some Freepers require 100% agreement or the other person is evil incarnate.

As long as I am paraphrasing others, “The enemy of the Good is the Perfect”. Voltaire? Franklin?

Oh I see you are attached to the Ann the woman. Never mind that she is supporting a Socialist that goes against everything our Republic was about when created. Don’t let your other head do your thinking for you. It will lead to nothing but trouble.

Ann has lived inside the beltway too long.

My views exactly, but all too often a minority here these days.

The time to oppose the "80 friend" is in the primaries, where the battles over the remaining 20% should be fought. Primaries are the proper battleground for the soul of the party.

That said, primary elections are family fights, and must not be waged so bitterly that the family cannot remain united in the general election. A kamikaze primary fight that destroys the possibility of party unity will only benefit the other party. This is why we should fight over issues alone, and not demonize our ideological opponents as "bots" and other useless pejoratives. If we cannot remain allies next November, we will lose.

Ann is Romney's proxy, and you are defending her for supporting him.

Let me tell you something....Mitt Romney is NOT an "80% friend" to the conservative, patriotic right. He's a pandering, liberal, big government, machine politician, who will do whatever it takes to become president, including lying through his teeth to get your vote.

As someone else said, Obama is the nine inch knife in the back, while Romney is the six inch knife. Both are going to kill you.
