A good analysis on your part. I don’t like how these primaries are sooner and closer together. I think it’s like making a hasty major purchase decision (somewhat).
Oh, now you're not just the final judge of who is a conservative, but who is a Republican!? I'm not sure who elected you to that position.
So, your judgeship, just what are your conservative Republican credentials which qualify you to make such decrees?
That’s not a very big tent you’re under, not even much of an umbrella.
He could beat her in NYS. But anywhere else he would just be a Dewey Republican.
Oh, come on. The media was fawning all over Fred Thompson for months prior to his lame Leno announcement. Heck, I even bought into the hype from the media and elsewhere and initially supported him.
I'm guessin' somebody that's short.
???
Nationwide, the Republicans lost seats - in Congress, in the Senate, Governors, and in most state legislators. And that's all Romney's fault now?
Really. I know a FReeper from Massachusetts who might be able to give you a few clues about what has really been happening in the Mass. GOP.
Oh, and don’t even ask me about Ohio — it’s messed up and it’s going to be very, very close. The dems put three horrible issues on the ballot in the last electin to get them to the polls (and they had the same two in NV and MO). In the last poll I saw here (IIRC) McCain was leading, but it was very tight. I’d have to look it up. I’ll work even harder to make sure this state stays red, but it’s going to be the toughtest fight ever.
Source.
I bet my Dad, who is a stone cold liberal who claims he’s an Independent, 5 bucks at 20 to 1 odds last March Fred would take the nomination. I think I’m out 5 bucks. I sent Fred some money early on but he is not exciting me. I want to see a lot of that in your face criticism of the left he is capable of. He’s not producing. I’m lost. Hunter is great but mismanaged. Who should I root for at this point? I need someone to lead me...
Who do you have now, out of Curiosity?
Fred isn’t going to be any more or less effective in promoting conservatism than Reagan Bush 41, Bush 43, Romney, McCain, Giuliani. We’re just electing a President here, not a lord or king with magic powers. There’s a Congress full of Dems and RINO’s any President has to work with. I support Romney because he is a Republican, a successful business executive and family man. That’s all I have to go on. I don’t give a rat’s behind what he did in Massachusetts. That’s such a liberal state, I don’t care. Is Romney going to work miracles, “Rebuild America” or “Save Western Civilization”? Nope, but neither will the other guys. This is just an election, not a Wagnerian opera. Bush 43 sounded very ideological too remember? Now look what happened to him. Sorry to be a party pooper, but I can easily Fred as the type of guy who’s going to make everyone else do all the work and take the blame for all his stumblings. I don’t want to say everything, because it’s just not polite.
Source for what?
I agree that they all have the “qualifications”. I’m kind of comparing Romney to Ross Perot, another gadfly, except that Perot actually might have been able to garner a lot of support even if it weren’t for his money. I’m suggesting that if Romney had not brought so much of his own money to the game, he’s be competing with Thommy Thompson and Sam Brownback for the drop-out vote.
He needs to speak louder and stop making that face after every point. He needs to sound like he has the courage of his convictions. Then he needs to attack the liberals as a group and talk about how they have hurt the country and just chomp down on that bone and not let go.
The Oligarchy must go away.
Hang in there, you’ll get your hunnerd bucks.
Nope, not final. But a judge, and a good one at that. Anybody who is knowingly informed to the facts and yet still supports a liberal party-destroying RINO like Romney is NOT a Republican.
Oh, look — it’s Bubba and Evita!
