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.

“Now someone else needs to step up and take out that socialist Huckabee.”

And pro-abortion, sanctuary city Giuliani; and pro-amnesty, gutter of the First Amendment, pro-international criminal court, John McCain (to name a few of their leftist ideas).

"...We R Screwed..."

Fred screwed us.

He got us to believe in him and all the while he was a half-interested, lukewarm candidate. Still we were praying and rooting for him and investing all our hopes and dreams in his ability to eek this out and he just dumped us. I can't say the other words I'm thinking right now. He let us down big time. Just like he did way back years ago and why I ever let myself fall for him again I'll never know. It won't happen again. He's revealed himself to us. He's not what we thought he was and we just have to accept that.

“Romney will say and do whatever he must to get elected. I don’t trust him.”

As opposed to McCain and Huckabee who are renowned for their honesty??????

Karl, there is a cold front moving toward Dayton, you had better make sure your neighbor’s cat is safe! Karl, it is very important that the cat is safe from this cold front, since, it
knows more about the economy than John McCain or Mike Huck-A-PHONY!

If we want to WIN, we have to work WITHIN the Party Processes, and COMPROMISE with those we call RINO’s to advance any kind of a conservative agenda.

The is the same defeatist baloney the GOP has been employing for years. It has only brought incremental socialism to the party. The result is the party aligning itself with the Socialist Rats and producing candidates such as those remaining. Recent history has proven a little bit of Socialism only begets more Socialism.

“Most RINOs have no interest in advancing any kind of conservative agenda.”

I disagree...

We allowed the Left and thier willing media allies to drive the Agenda, instead of driving it ourselves through ideas, logic, and a sense of hope.

We have been fighting against a 24/7 propoganda machine for years now, that has been willing to use everything out of the Geobbel’s playbook, from hatred and racism, to outright LIES to attack us, regardless of the cost in AMERICAN LIVES it has created, and our leaders in large part have simply failed to respond.

You can’t win a “War of Ideas” if yours are not getting out, and our leaders have failed to use the bully pulpit to it’s best advatage.

If these “RINO’s” thought the Public was behind them, instead of being push-polled to every moonbat position on the planet, they would react differently.

REAGAN PROVED THIS.

Yes. The idea of Fred was a lot more appealing than the reality. The whole reason behind the idea of Fred was that he was supposed to be this incredibly charming spokesman for conservatism and without that, he’s just another conservative ideologue in wide field.”

The acting thing never really kicked in for him, did it? I don’t know why, but he never used his greatest strength on the campaign trail. And it showed. Boy, howdy, did it show.

But...we need to move on.

As I have said (and others also), we need to get behind Romney.

But McCain is going to be very hard to stop now. If he wins in FL, he will wrap it up on 2/5.

Then...choking back tears...we have to get behind McCain, just as Reagan got behind Ford in 1976.

So now that Fred is “out of the race” and we are left with not much hope of Duncan Hunter getting any facetime at the debates, who is in the “running” for VP for whichever moderate Republican we get stuck with on top of the ticket?

Um, you are aware that Hunter has been "out of the race" for about a week now, aren't you?

I’m listening and Rush read no statement from Fred. He said Fred was out but didn’t name a source.

Never have I been a protesting non-voter, but I’m pretty sure I’ll end up being one in November.

If you can't even find a third-party, at least write someone in. Make whichever liberal wins govern with only a plurality, not a majority.

Well, McCain will just never happen for me - even to the point of a McCain vs. Hillary or Obama. No McCain.

Actually there would be no difference at all as McCain has always catered to the democrats as he stabbed us in the back. Why should he change if elected. He will still cater to the democrats - same as a Hillary or Obama.

So, guess it will be a Romney. Huckabee is too weak, too liberal and I don’t trust him.

LOL! Your list pretty much matches mine. Only difference is that I like my cat better than my neighbor’s. She’s more presidential!
