How exactly is he to prove a negative?

Oh, wait. You aren’t interested in giving him a fair chance.

Letting the democrats take control will speed that process along a lot more quickly than any of the RINOs.

Hop on I-80 and head for Amarillo, Tx. Be sure to take a sombrero along.

As an alternate convince Fred to apply and qualify as a write-in candidate in Idaho by May 13th.

But neither will be getting my support. My principles are not for sale. "Tonight on the CBS Evening News, incoming president Hillary Clinton today announced details of her health care plan..."

That may be what it takes to wake up the Republican Party. I WILL NOT hold my nose and vote this year.

I do not want Romney to give any consideration to Fred Thompson as a running mate, and I support Fred. I would never vote for Fred for VP, he has never indicated he wanted it. He makes too much money as an actor to sit as second fiddle in a job where he couldn’t do anything. You don’t do the sacrifice for public service to accomplish no end.

It is a huge insult to talk about Fred for VP, he needs to be the President or nothing. If Mitt isn’t good enough to stand on his own two feet to run for president, he doesn’t need to be running.

I voted for Romney today. I will vote for him in the general election.

If McCain is the nominee, I’m with you.

I gave him a fair chance before he partnered with the liberal democrat fiengold to strip us of our first amendment rights. He maintains that it was a good bill to this day, his legacy here is a restriction of political speech and moveon.org.

I gave him a chance to support the Bush tax cuts, but he voted against them siding with the liberal democrats and only endorsed them in late 2007. Coincidentally he was also running a losing campaign at that time, hmm interesting.

I gave him a chance to back our president in getting his judicial nominees through senate confirmation. Instead he joined with 14 other senators to try and broker a deal which would bring him noteriety and subvert the president’s and conservative senators’ attempts to get strict constitutionalist judges on the bench at all levels, especially the supreme court.

He had a chance to redeem himself when the liberals wanted to give amnesty to illiterate, uneducated illegal aliens interested in taking our dollars back to thier third world hell holes. He joined with them to try and change OUR LAWS instead of encouraging them to make thier home countries more livable. The people of the USA roundly denounced his shamnesty bill but he didn’t care. He joined with liberal democrat Ted Kennedy to enact this legislation.

Recently he joined with Joe lieberman another democrat to try and ram through legislation which would raise federal gas taxes as a way to punish the US for using so much gasoline under the guise of man made global warming junk science.

It’s not that I’m not interested in giving him a fair chance, he wasn’t interested in creating legislation that was in keeping with our GOD given right to unrestricted political speach, good for american sovreignty, economic strength, energy independance, and decreasing the size, scope and influence of the federal government. Why would he do the complete opposite as president. Has his entire political outlook had a polare switch in the last 8 weeks?

You realize I’m talking about Romney, not McCain, right?

Honestly they are the same in that they will enact entitlement programs if elected and they both have majorly flip flopped in order to appeal to conservatives. I guess it would be the difference between eating a plate of steaming brown poop or black poop.

It’s official, FR would tell Ronald Reagan to get lost if he ran today.

They probably would because he’s too conservative and mentioned that the core of conservatism is based in Libertarian principles.

I’m actually referring to how Reagan used to be a Democrat.

But whatever.

I know but I wasn’t gonna bite on that bait. You do have a point though, people who identify with the party and don’t really look into what the party is doing or stands for probably would.
