The Republican party is on crack, and they may very well have to hit rock bottom before they decide it's time to sober up.
I don’t want to be correct. I want the hearts and minds of South Carolina Republicans to be motivated by what is best for our country, and to vote Fred Thompson tomorrow. I will be PRAYING. I fear, after what he said on Hannity, that he won’t go further if he comes in 3rd. We NEED him to keep going but he needs a good showing.
I just hope the voters there will stop being attracted by the shiny cross Huckster keeps dangling before their eyes!
FreeBird,
You said “and I don’t trust the man (Romney) that got elected to run one of, if not the most, liberal states in the union.”
Trust me (as a Mass resident who is old enough to remember buying ammo at the local gas station when I was 13, 14 years old):
Mitt Romney is a liberal in conservative’s clothing
1) Mandatory health care - turning into a disaster - expensive - the unintended consequences are gonna be a killer. Reporting is tied to state tax returns (1099HC = admission against interest if you don’t have HC) so tax scofflaws will increase. (Mark my words and check back in July!) You want Hillary Care? Elect her or Mitt.
2) Guns - WILL sign a “assault weapons” ban. Believes it is OK to ban firearms of excessive lethality but did NOT define the term (standard gun-banner ploy). Joined NRA (life member) just before announcing run for republican presidential nomination.
3) Taxes: Used “Dukakis Dodge” - raised fees in Mass (FID raised 300%) and plows excess into general fund (that means “tax” not “user fee”).
That is enough to get you started. Dig around here on FR for more - I sort of remember someone posted his 17 positions on abortion - I won’t go near gay marriage in Mass -
DO NOT TRUST THIS MAN, Romney.
Peet (who can’t wait to get out of Mass)
