Almost no one in politics or the media will admit it in public, but the GOP lost the Presidency in 2008 by alienating the moral conservative base that the elites loathe. Many stayed home or voted third party, rejecting a nominee who was in fundamental aspects a liberal Democrat.
That is why Barry Sotero — a radical socialist with Islamic roots posing as a Christian, groomed for years by Marxist revolutionaries, who hides essential documents of his birth, education and career, who campaigned with illegal funding from overseas interests, who as far as 300 million Americans can honestly tell, was born in a foreign country and (under the plain language of the Supreme Law of the United States, the Constitution) cannot legally be our President, who lacks even the executive experience of a night manager at a self-serve gas station — nevertheless sleeps in the White House. That’s why. Do the homework. Look at the demographics.

Wrong. As I said, someone who can be serious about the issueS without being boring and ponderous, but magnetic. The one-issue race will doom us to more of the same--like it or not, Obama has shown us what Reagan did--it's a VISION, an all-encompassing attitude that wins elections.
The "let the adults take over" attitude is condescending, elitist, and insulting. Let "Mommy and Daddy" take over, in other words, but damned well make sure Mommy and Daddy are registered Republicans with "better" big government plans than you Democrat "children" -- that's where it would go whether you mean it to or not.
I have no idea what you're going on about. Every election is about "Our side knows better."
Americans don't need to to be talked down to as if they were children.
I don't know where you got that from when my opening line is "an ADULT who can be SERIOUS about the issues."
They need to be educated as to the liberty and prosperity that awaits them when government is limited and individual and private enterprise is cut loose.
Wrong again. This is the kind of thing that sounds so good on web chat sites, and is completely lacking in any understanding of what wins elections. As usual with the GOP.
You can spin polls however you wish, especially where the media is involved, and they always want the worst RINO imaginable as our nominee (why they are so excited to see Slick as the nominee in ‘12). If Palin was as awful as they claimed, they’d want her as the nominee. They’re terrified of her, as is Slick Willard, who launched a secret campaign to undermine her from the day McCain picked her as his running mate (for which Slick believed he would get).
But he’s still a world-class liar, a con artist, and a rank incompetent as an elected official (aside from helping the Socialist/Democrat cause). He has to buy and bribe to get support, while Palin EARNED it. Try getting a GOP function together and see who gets more of a crowd. People want the real deal, not some sleazy, oily used car salesman.
We’d be better off drafting someone who has no national exposure. Someone who has nothign at all to do with the national GOP right now. How about you?
If you are down again, check out the Midway museum.
They have planes, jets, and choppers of various types that flew from it from ‘45 to ‘92
A question I’ve answered about a 1,000 times on this website. If Socialism is to be implemented, let it be entirely and wholly done by those elected openly as Democrats. Let them take full and total credit for it. When their policies fail, as we’re seeing now with the exploding unemployment rates, we can run against them with our Conservatives and win.
If Socialism is implemented by phony Republicans (Slick Willard), it gets our party painted with the failure, no matter if the bulk of the party opposes it, and we pay dearly at the next election. Go take a look at what Slick did in Massachusetts. He made sure there was nothing left of the GOP in his wake, he buried the body. Like I said, Slick Willard is really nothing more than a Democrat agent.
I meant midway when I wrote nimitz (slaps forehead). We took the tour, was very nice, and very interesting. I have plenty of pics, but don’t know how to post them.
And come on, who ISN'T "serious" about the issues? Obama thinks he is; Barney Frank thinks he is; Pelosi thinks she is; and their followers think they are serious, too. "Someone who can be serious about the issues" is a platitude, plain and simple.
I don't think you know what wins elections, especially if you think Mitt Romney is a "decent" possible GOP candidate -- Romney is a demonstrated loser. And I don't think you differentiate -- as I and many others here have LEARNED to do by hard experience -- the difference between meaningless victory (i.e., having a Republican in place who advocates as much big government as a Democrat) and meaningful victory. I don't think you get that at ALL.
If they’re digital pics, you could download them to the Flickr website. You could then link ‘em here.
Anyway, we'll find out soon enough. But I do like Ann and Laura a lot to think they could fall for the Republican-Left philosphy (i.e. McCain and all his "senior Advisers" have demonstrated of late). Thanks :)
I think it’s a reasonable conclusion that the Slick Willard sycophants DO want big government. They just want Slick to push it through rather than the Kenyan (with the nice side effect of removing the GOP completely as a viable opposition party to stop the total Marxist/Stalinist hijack of the country).
i will check that out, thanks.
Nimitz is CV68 and Reagan is CV76
I watched the Stennis enter San Diego harbor when it returned after 9/11 from the Middle East
A New York Police Officer loaned the Stennis an American
flag from the rubble of the Trade Center
I saw the ship enter the harbor flying that flag.
You seem in the mood to rant, which is fine, but it doesn't mean you have a grasp on what's going on. Your shallow and pointless "debate tactics" show what's wrong with so many people who claim to know what's what when discussing the electorate.
Thanks for proving my point.
Those posting against Romney overwhelmingly post facts and logic to back up their dislike for him.
What a silly tactic--"MY side only posts facts and logic!"
One need only look at the posts.
That you immediately call me a "Romney supporter" again shows that those suffering from RDS don't even know they're afflicted.
Ann has a new book out in a few weeks.
“There’s another possiblity that you’re missing — that the GOP is too stupid for words. “
Nope, the GOP nominated the best candidate, McCain. Palin was not running, Reagan was in the grave, Thompson was a bust, etc.
McCain won the primaries fair and square. If the moral conservatives can’t accept facts, they can go f themselves.
One more thing. I think it's paramount that we work early to boot lemons like Romney out of the picture before they can drain the resources of truly conservative, limited government candidates. Romney is bad news for conservatism -- all you have to do is to read his words and listen to his speeches in their entirety, not just to the grand-sounding platitudes that are music to conservatives' ears. Platitudes are like that -- the devil is in the details, and Romney's "details" always entail more, bigger government, mandates, and meddling, the opposite of what his platitudes promise. As important as settling on a good candidate is to weed out the ones like Romney that weaken and sabotage good candidates.
Sure thing. I like seeing folks’ vacation pics. ;-)
We’ll have to respectfully disagree then. I spent time in both East Germany and USSR many years ago and saw what a couple of generations did to the countries and their people. You just don’t “un-do” socialism. It takes a toll on a very deep level of the social structure, education system, and the national psyche. Yes, RINOS have allowed it to make some in-roads, but that is small potatoes compared with what Obama and his cronies have in mind. If they are able to put their plans into place, my friend, there is no going back.
I believe that Obama’s union cronies will become America’s version of the USSR Communist party. Join, and you and your family will have perks not available to non-Party members. That will extend to educational and career opportunities and advancement, preferred medical treatment, preferred treatment under “the law” (i.e. some citizens are more equal than others), and ultimately result in two economic classes of people. What parent wouldn’t join The Party if it meant their child could attend college or have doors open to them that are only available for Party/Union members?
I fear for my children’s future. I may not have to make those difficult decisions, but it may be my son or daughter who has to decide between being able to feed their families or joining the Party. I do think our future could be that dire.
As someone here on FR once said, and this gave me chills, “You can prepare for a hurricane, but you can’t prepare for communism.” That’s what BHO has in mind for this country, but unfortunately, not enough Americans understood that when he said, “change”, what he really meant was “revolution.” I’d vote for Mitt or McCain or Huckabee or Palin or even SANFORD, if it meant saving our country or at least holding off the incessant beat of socialism until the conservative movement becomes stronger. For that to happen, we need a strong, charismatic leader to give a powerful VOICE to the movement, much like Rush Limbaugh has given us, and I don’t want to get into a debate about Rush Limbaugh!! LOL That leader MAY be Palin, I don’t know, but I do know that there’s not another conservative on the national stage, yet, who can be the voice, unite conservatives, and draw in Americans who don’t realize they are conservatives.
