I have got to get something off my chest, and this is not necessarily directed at you, or any other Mitt supporters (who I think are generally the most respectful supporters on this board).

During the "off" years, we hear over and over again, how the primaries are the time to vote for who you want, or for the true "conservatives", because that is what there purpose is, yet when people say that they voted for who they want, or in this case the "conservative" they get slammed anyway!

I am by no means a Fred supporter, and many here will be surprised at my sticking up for his fans, but let the voters vote their conscience! Don't shame them into thinking that what they did was wrong. Please, I beg of you all! RatsDawg, and others have supported Fred for a long time, and they deserve the right to vote for him (for maybe the only time) without getting hassled. We can do the wheeling and dealing, begging and consoling after the nominee is picked, this is the time to vote your wants, not your don't wants.

I also tend to wonder why it is looked so badly upon when John McCain gets crossover votes (ie. voters that may or may not support him, but voting strategically) yet it is encouraged for Mitt to get votes the same way?

Personally, I see nothing wrong with voting for conservatives.

Wow, good looking sons

#####

Some people even blame Romney for marrying a good looking woman, and having good looking sons. Like “it’s not fair!”

I think you have it reversed. We are honorable, fair, and decent, and would never do such a thing. I mean that sincerely. : )

I'm pretty sure that stopped for most people in the late 1700's.

I have already acknowledged that. My point is that too many, even among us commoners, are allowing others to shed their blood for us without even attempting to do their share.

Duncan Hunter is not one of those, nor is his son.

Because we know where Johnny Mac stands on amnetsy, globaloney and taxes. We're still not sure about Mitt.

I'd rather believe they stayed home due to the weather and we're finally seeing the GOP vote for their nominee as they did in NH.

Ron Paul is still benefitting from the Democrat votes, it seems. I guess his supporters are more... *determined* to get out and vote. They're sort of like those "protest mobs for rent". The crossover Democrat vote for McCain is probably older and more moderate - and less inclined to go out in unpleasant weather.

God, I hate open primaries.

well after I posted "chip" I realized I really met unpleasant!

When someone starts shrieking irrelevant garbage at me over a simple question, I get irritated. Tough

Really I haven't noticed the difference!:<)

“While 1% are currently serving, 10% of each year’s eligible group of males ends up serving. That would suggest that 10% or more of the nation’s males are veterans.”

That makes sense and it’s a good feeling to know that 10% of our young lads do serve their country..and a large contingent of the young ladies serve too..

There is hope..Thank you.

his son was seen removing and carrying his Dad's luggage from the plane

I heard that, too. I hadn't had the impression his children were with him. (I thought he was hiding them after what I saw in that striped-shirt photo...LOL!)

In addition, they both support the gorebull warming scam, as do Rudy & Huck.

Not really every one has their calling it is not like years ago.

Each has an opportunity in their life time to contribute here in some fashion.
