Fox News ^

Posted on 01/22/2008 11:17:25 AM PST by tpanther

Carl Cameron says it'll become offical sometime later this week.

Oh well, we're doomed. Let's hope it'll be minimal damage until 2012.

What viable candidate? Huckabee? Huckabee’s history as governor is catching up with him, that’s all.

Then, be a true conservative and just do it, G8 Diplomat.

You see, G8, if you were a real conservative, you would already be in your Australian paradise, you wouldn’t be threatening to do it. Conservatives don’t operate that way.

Unless, you’re one of the “we’re moving out of the US if Bush wins a second term” crowd. They’re all still here, too.

"Looks like she may just get that chance, I honestly don’t think any of the RINO’s can beat her. Giuliani probably has the best shot at that. But who wants to vote for him??"

Not me. But if he's the only candidate left standing at the convention, I will vote AGAINST Hillary/Obama. I trust him with the war far more than McKennedy.

You and many other so called conservatives here are incredible.

This election will be decided by maybe one state.

Ohio.

Now, tell me the counties in Ohio that will vote for Hillary Clinton?

I’ll wait.

This will get me attacked, but honest to God, I’m starting to wonder about some of you. We are 10 months from the election and some of you “conservatives” have given up.

It’s almost as if the drive-by media has really gotten to you and you’re believing what they say about you.

Now, get out there and campaign for YOUR candidate.

Even if your candidate has ‘dropped out’. The convention is not tomorrow. Get out there and work for the conservative candidate you want.

Conservatives are NOT lazy.

And, in the meantime, turn off the boob tubes and stop listening to the drive by media tell you that your party is finished.

What will you do if McPain is the only one left standing at the convention? (honestly asking)

I was with Fred as long as he was in this race and at the same time I thought about whom my second choice would be if things didn’t go my way. I am sure most FredHeads were doing the same even though it was difficult to do. In our support of Fred it was so easy to say he is the only one we would consider voting for. Fred was the only one for me as long as he was in the race.

I would urge those who plan on staying home, voting for Fred or writing his name in to consider the fact that it would not help the conservative cause that Fred has fought for and will continue to fight for. I ask you to think about what Fred would do. Fred would NEVER consider staying home from an election. He would consider all of the options, weigh everything in the balance, and make a quality decision to vote for someone he believes would move the conservative cause forward.

I take the privilege of voting to seriously to ever consider not voting in an election. I have considered all of the options and have made what I believe to be a quality decision. I will be voting for Mitt Romney next Tuesday.

At this point in time, since I am so afraid of having Obama the straw candidate or another Clinton -co-presidentcy....
I would probably hold my nose and vote for McCain. It would hurt, but IMO it wouldn’t hurt as much as either Democrat in the WH again.

Fair enough.

I keep having this mental image of myself on election day, knees bloody from dragging myself to the polls, clothespins firmly in place on my nose and one hand fighting the other as it struggles to select the R candidate.

LOLOL!!!

The draft is obsolete. So you can get use to that as well.

Sharia law is not the supreme law of the land in Iraq, but it’s recognized.

We are there now to deter future attacks. Beats waiting for another 9-11, don’t you think?

Would this small contingency of special forces that Ron Paul want’s to leave in the middle east look anything like Jimmie Carter’s Delta Force hostage team?

I’ll give Ron Paul this, however, I thought that Ron Paul did have a point in that debate exchange with Guiliani about our policies (that W changed, thank god) having been a cause of 9-11, especially the UN santions on iraq that starved millions of ‘mostly women and children’ (said George Gallowy).

Starving millions of the ‘Arab Nation’ with those santions did, in my opinion, inspire the 9-11 pan-arab fascist (no, they weren’t ‘religious’ at all as evidenced by the huge liquor bills they ran up at the strip-clubs they attended) hijackers to sacrifice themselves on Saddam’s mission to attack America.

Ah, don’t you think 9-11 made it our business?

Would Ron Paul also say that Hitler was none of our business as well?

Letter’s of Marque and Reprisal?

You mean hire pirates and bounty hunters to defend America?

LOL, now you Ron Paul guys refer to CIA spooks?

I thought it ironic how the Donks favor our CIA over our elected president and now you guys side with them as well?

What is Ron Pauls opinion of our fascistic, unelected, death-squad sending, and sometimes treasonous rouge CIA anyway?

I would think that he would want it abolished as unconstitutional.

LOL! Switch the bloody knees for a staggering lurch and some mud daubed in dramatic areas of the face, and that could the mental image I have!

One afternoon at Cheers, Cliff Clavin was explaining the Buffalo Theory to his buddy Norm. Here’s how it went:

” Well ya see, Norm, it’s like this... A herd of buffalo can only move as fast as the slowest buffalo. And when the herd is hunted, it is the slowest and weakest ones at the back that are killed first This natural selection is good for the herd as a whole, because the general speed and health of the whole group keeps improving by the regular killing of the weakest members. In much the same way, the human brain can only operate as fast as the slowest brain cells. Excessive intake of alcohol, as we know, kills brain cells. But naturally, it attacks the slowest and weakest brain cells first. In this way, regular consumption of beer eliminates the weaker brain cells, making the brain a faster and more efficient machine. That’s why you always feel smarter after a few beers.”

WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may lead you to think people are laughing WITH you.

Maybe you’re thinking of willing. They’re close to capable, but they’re not quite there yet.

But yeah, we’re there IMO.
