Good heavens, after watching the Republican debate, I thought I WAS watching the Democrat one. So many leftist RINOs up on that stage, a gallery of asshats and buffoons. But for heavens’ sake, everyone around the world is pissed off at us now. There’s that hope and change for ya.
BTW, I support nation building, I know that’s an obscenity to the paleos, who’d prefer to wait to do something until we were completely surrounded and it was too late, but I think it’s a small price to pay to help other countries get their $hit together so they don’t drop a load on us, y’know ? Well, you’re a Paulbot, maybe you don’t.
Yup, he’s a Paulbot, not a Slick Willardbot. The difference between being willfully destructive (SW) and naively destructive (RP). ;-)
Meg Whitman, oh, joy. She’s Slick Willard’s lead enabler from California, who would use the bully pulpit of the Governorship to thrust that nightmare down our throats.
Oh, and I’m sorry, dude, but that nonsense that you have to run liberals in Red states (and I don’t use the media newsspeak, red is the color of leftism, the rodent/Marxist party) is defeatist bullcrap. I stated in the post you replied to what happens when you run liberal RINOs for office, especially for Governor. You get a dead party. By that mindset back in 1966, you’d have been wanting to ram liberals like George Christopher down the party’s throat, and Christopher was a pale imitation of Pat Brown. When Reagan ran, all the RINO liberals ran around screaming how these “Right-wingers” “couldn’t win”, yada yada yada. Well we all know how that turned out.
This party is in trouble because we refuse to go in the RIGHT direction. Again, as I wrote to you, Greg, we’ve tried it your way in far too many states, and we’ve been eviscerated in the process. What did electing that Socialist scum Ah-nold do in California ? Did he put the state back in the GOP column for President ? Nope. Did he win seats in the legislature ? Nope. Congress ? Nope. He hasn’t gotten us squat in CA, but he sure got the party painted with the big-spending, high taxing label, the reincarnation of George Christopher, but one who managed to make Gray Davis look like Calvin Coolidge for his fiscal policies. Just brilliant, Greg. Truly.
[You have no idea what my position is on Romney. ]
Apparently after all the words you’ve expended no one has a clue what you’ve said.
I really don’t see why any country would want to nuke us. The rest of the world can clearly see that we are doing a very good job of committing national suicide. Why expend the energy? They just have to sit back and watch as we de-industrialize and impoverish ourselves.
I guess the only people who can’t see that we’re killing ourselves better than any terrorists, rogue nation or enemy country ever could are Obama supporters.
What country would risk nuclear annihilation from the largest nuke arsenal in the world? What terrorists could succeed if we actually defended our borders, enforced SANE immigration laws, and actually believed in self defense and had the second amendment as the basis of our national defense?
As for the middle east, why don’t we stop inhibiting Israel and let them defend themselves the best way possible?
The Muzzies can’t get along with each other. Why don’t we let them kill each other like they used to do?
If the war on drugs were ended, we could remove a source of funding from bad guys from Mexico to Afghanistan.
There are plenty of options that we just aren’t considering that would make us safer, freer and more prosperous.
Oh, c’mon, dude. You know the False Messiah would only use nukes against Conservatives. Wouldn’t want to offend his international Communist and Mohammadan brothers and sisters.
End the war on drugs, too ? Gosh. Why, it’d be positively Nirvana in America. Hell, might as well legalize everything so we don’t feel the pain when the country officially commits national suicide. Where’s my Marion Barry crack pipe ? And damn it, I want hookers, too. And not those ugly ones, either.
It’d be fine with me if Palin became the candidate in 2012, but she does need to bone up on the issues and develop clearer policy positions. Every candidate has to do that, and being thrown in so abruptly in 2008 put her at a disadvantage.
We better also plan to shift the balance of Congress drastically back to the Republicans. First, Obamacare has to be defeated before anyone needs to worry about Romneycare. Extremely premature to worry about what health care legislation a GOP candidate might advocate in 2012.
People have to pick a candidate based on the issues during a campaign year. Things change, and we don’t know what the key issues will be in 2012. But I expect Romney will running on a nice, conservative platform.
I’ll leave the hookers and crack for you. I don’t partake of either. :)
I am not concerned about what platform Romney runs on.
It’s what he will do that bothers me.

Charlie Brown always remains hopeful that Lucy won’t pull the football away at the last moment.
In short, Romneyites seem more than a tad foolish.
As a highly successful Governor, Palin is quite “boned up” already. At least, thankfully, she not only talks the talk, but walks the walk. Her honesty and integrity are the things that earn her widespread respect from those possessing mental stability, and why she attracts crowds anxious to hear her connect with them.
As for Slick Willard, his “platform”, like his word, is completely meaningless and utterly worthless. He’ll say whatever to a given crowd of dupes and suckers to sell his rancid product, like all oily con artists, and then they’re always left holding the bag, and he’s on to the next group of rubes to roll.
I was just trying to relate to you, dude. You’d have to be high on crack to support Dr. Demento. ;-)
I can see Mitt wining in 2012 more so then Sarah P.
If the economy remains mired, and it will, Mitt’s business background will look mighty attractive to voters.
Sarah Palin could win “if” more traditional issues are on the voter’s agenda as well as high gas prices crushing everyone’s budget’s.
Palin’s problem is she is not taken seriously by the intellegentsia or people who like to think they are smarter then everyone else, Mitt’s problem is he comes off as to prepackaged and “slick”.
You shouldn’t comment on things you know nothing about. It just makes you look foolish to those who actually possess facts.
A trained monkey could have done better than Mitt "Brutus" Romney, who got a "C" rating from CATO.
And that was BEFORE
Romney's Socialized medicine and coverup of the BIGdig kicked in. .
Note that the record also shows that Shapeshifter Romney also betrayed President Bush as Governor
(predicting what TeamROMNEY would do later in Election2008 to Gov. Palin, and every other GOP candidate).
Romney was against the conservative tax cuts.
Here are the facts from CATO.
"As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal."

God: Duffy, but I am so sick of the cursing on this thread..
Perception is everything in politics Diogenesis, for example “Sarah Palin seyz she can see Russia from her house!” and of course she never said it.
This inspite of the fact she secured the largest pipeline project in North American history, if voters do not menatlly give credit for doing something great, does it count?
As for Mitt, a Trained Monkey who ran Bain Capital and looks good on camera and can speak will go a long way towards winning the nomination if the economic doldrums continue.
Personally, as I’ve said, I “like” Romney, but he is shallow as a mud puddle, a problem with firearms owners?
No problem, join the NRA for a year and say you’ve been a lifelong member.
“I believe that abortion should be safe and legal in this country. I have, since the time when my mom took that position when she ran in 1970 as a U.S. Senate candidate. I believe that since Roe v. Wade has been the law for 20 years, we should sustain and support it. I sustain and support that law and the right of a woman to make that choice.” - Mitt Romney
