Hence why before intense methods they were difficult to raise and why true free range ones are so expensive. Talking of turkeys must go and turn mine over.
You're damn right I'm emotional. Any presidential candidate who'll flat-out state that they'll eliminate the IRS and limit the size of the federal government back to where it's supposed to be, not to mention giving the middle finger to a bunch of Middle Eastern mullahs who attack us with one hand and take our foreign aid with the other, will definitely get my vote.
Notice there is utterly NOTHING in Paul’s campaigns that outlines anything that even remotely looks like an agenda. Paul is very careful to never say what and how he would do anything. He merely chants meaningless sound bites with utterly NO substance what so ever to back them up.
Bulls--t Johnnie. You don't want liberty, you want the same statist "liberty" being preached by the other candidates. Dr. Paul has been rock-solid in his defense of limited government and spending.
That may make the Paulbots hearts beat faster, the rest of us are smart enough not to be fooled by such clever rhetoric and shameless pandering.
The rest of you "smart" guys are rapidly in the minority. There are literally thousands of new voters who are registering Republican to get the opportunity to vote for Paul. Go ahead and waste your vote for the statist, my primary vote goes to Dr. Paul and if the GOP nominates Rudy, Romney, or Huckster, I'm damn sure writing in Paul's name in the general.
For those of you not watching Obama on FTN... Obama is talking a lot of fluff, a lot about me, me, me... I served on this, I can bring people together, etc. Very little of substance.
But he does level a good point: “Most of the arguments against me are arguments leveled against Bill Clinton. He doesn’t have much room to argue here.”
He’s nutty. After the attacks by Hillary one would think these Democrats would learn it’s their side doing all the underhanded attacks, NOT Republicans.
On one channel we have Oblama telling us what a wiz he would be in foreign affairs(cbs) while Stuffy Stephy (abc)just spent 5 minutes of semi-valuable air time quizzing Rudy on his health and why he won't allow ABC to probe beyond every orifice he has and into space.
But the capper remains fat tim with a bloviating interview with the world biggest wannabe clown ru-paul.
It would all be most entertaining if there were not so much at stake.
i’ll be more graphic.I’d like to grab Chris Wallace
by the ankles and swing him against pecan trees
you know, just to help fell pecans
hahaha been there done that...!!
Same to you MNJ and thanks for all your wisdom!
Obama just now says the only way we can trigger the sunis and other groups in Iraq to change their behavior is for us to re-deploy somewhere else. What an idiot.
huckabee up now on CBS
LOL! That’s a great one and Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you as well...........
I saw bits of the Ron Paul interview on MTP and I have to say when I was a yute I thought you had to be smart to be a doctor, but now that I have very regular contact with the medical profession I can tell you that some of the stupidest people I have ever met are MDs.
Why does MTP, or anyone, spend so much time with Paul? They do this 30 min interview and then he does even show on their polls.
I don’t think it matters who wins Iowa, NH or SC. My guess is Hillary looses the three then wins Super Tuesday and has a clear majority of the delegates - but is wounded.
On the GOP side this gets solved at the convention.
BTW, I once heard this, “the further south you go in Florida the more North you get.”
Key points from Huckabee:
* He considers “streamlining” government a conservative ideal. (Funny, I thought it was “reducing” government.)
* He dismisses criticism because it comes from his opponents.
* He says he respects the President but he says he doesn’t want to be running for Bush’s 3rd term.
Just watched the first segment of Huckabee. If he gets the nomination..... he’ll win the General with as much support a Regan had. No doubt. His biggest challenge will be getting the nomination.
I respectfully disagree. If Huckabee gets the nomination, we are as cooked as snugs' goose.
Shouting slogans and sound bites is mere demagoguery, it is not a plan or an agenda.
Good for Paulbots that they find joy in this mindless adoration for Paul just because he relentlessly presses their personal emotional hot buttons. Unfortunately for the Paulbots, most Americans are smart even to look beyond the pleasing sounds bites and slogans to actually look at how and what a politician is promising to do things.
When you look beyond the emotion based Paulbot sound bites, there is nothing else to the Paul campaign. It all sound bites and slogans with utterly no plan at all for actually accomplishing anything Paul claims to want to do. He merely shouts the slogans and lets his acolytes fill in what they THINK Paul means. He himself has offered no substantive plans to do anything.
No way.... this guy will get almost EVERYBODY in the middle.
