I cannot in good conscience support either McCain or Romney. The RNC would be well advised to remember the reason for its very existence.
Fred is still on most people’s ballots, as he legally qualified.
In the primary, at least, I will vote for him (even if I have to write him in.)
It’s a message the RNC needs to see, and the only one we can send them (besides holding off $$$, which I also advise).
WTF?
Nixon was never a Governor.
Dumbass.
Some “Teacher” there.
Must be why American kids fail history.
I don't believe that any one of the remaining four can defeat either HillBillary or Sheik Barack Hussein Obama. Millions of evangelicals who normally vote GOP will stay home or vote 3rd party if either pro-abort Rudy or a Mormon is nominated, and millions of other conservatives will stay home if either Huck or McCain is nominated.
We may as well face it, this election will be an unmitigated disaster for all conservatives and anyone else who loves liberty and respects the US Constitution. But maybe, just maybe, it will be instructional to the GOP primary voters who voted for a RINO this year and we can get back on track after four years of misery. I fully expect to see our health care system reduced to ruins, taxes go through the roof, and the probable loss of fundamental liberties such as the right to keep and bear arms and to be secure in our homes from search and seizure.
My congratulations go out to the clueless GOP voters who have made all of this possible by rejecting conservatives and embracing liberal RINOs over the last few months. I just hope they learn something over the course of the next five years, namely that you can't advance a conservative agenda by voting for liberal RINOs whose only discernible attraction is the demonstrably false claim that only a "moderate" can win a national election.
That’s a waste, with Alan Keyes still running.
*sigh* yeah. Sorry...
Never heard of him.
“Don’t be silly, the GOP owns the conservative vote in the same sense that the Democrats own the black vote.”
I have left the plantation.
“Romney is a conservative.”
Since when? In 1994 he was the Gay Avenger, apparently.
“Come into the light! Come into the light!”
...said the campfire to the moth.
As I have to explain to my children, you can't apologize in advance for something you are doing. Apology means you realise what you have done is wrong, and will strive to not do so again.
You are not apologizing, because as you admit you are doing this on purpose and believe it is for our good.
So your "apology" is really more of an "I'm sorry that this bothers some of you, but it's important", not a "I'm sorry that I am compelled against my will to commit this act of evil against you".
That is pretty much a partial list of Romney’s campaign platform. I don’t know how strongly he is pushing a flat tax.
Just as long as they all inherit your class and grace, we'll be fine, I'm sure.
I did a quick search and found that Kennedy was the last legislator to defeat a candidate from the executive branch. I made an assumption that it was as governor (since Nixon was before my time). Now I see that his time as VP (after a career in the House and Senate) was his claim to the Executive Branch. Mea culpa. One ought never assume.
(Algebra teacher, by the way, in case you made others wonder.)
Yeah right, all he’ll have to do is cry “I’m better than the Democrat candidate” or “The democrat will pull our troops out of Iraq/Afghanistan!” and all the fools will line up to keep him in office no matter how many entitlement programs he creates or gun bans he doesn’t veto or tax increases and pork he signs off on.
C’mon you can’t really be that myopic. NOW is the time to ensure that either a conservative pulls this country from the edge of the abyss or a liberal pushes it in.
I for one don’t think a liberal with an R behind his name will do much good for the conservative movement if he screws up the country wearing his conservative costume.
Speaking of the elder Bush, he lost his office precisely because he didn’t execute conservative policies and lost the confidence of conservatives. He deserved to be thrown out on his a$$! The R behind his name didn’t grant him a divine right to the office of POTUS.
It’s time to face reality, voting soley based on the party affiliation of the candidate has not been a reliable way to further the conservative agenda since 1984! The liberals have been beating that game for decades now. They just switch the letter following thier name, speak a few platitudes with the buzzwords people like you react to and viola, liberals are now successfully pushing the collectivist agenda within both parties with your help.
No thanks I don’t have to fall for that, but you go ahead and keep doing the same thing, I’m sure if you do it just this one more time you’ll get a different result. It’s only been a failing plan for 20+ years, WAY TOO EARLY to try something different. Besides, democrat socialism is much more dangerous than republican socialism.
There is no excuse for not knowing that Nixon’s executive experience was as Eisenhower’s VP.
It was before my time too. But this is just basic knowledge.
