Paul is too unstable to be President. As I said early last year, absent Fred and Duncan Hunter, this entire GOP Presidential primary has been a Felliniesque sideshow. We learned nothing from 2006. Forget principles, let’s just put up more liberal RINOs, be they senile or be they pretty. Disgusting. We deserve to lose.
When I watch him, I get the same feeling. When I read him it's very different. Point being, D.C. is so foul and has so lost it's way, who besides Paul could turn the table over, such that the game pieces may be put back on the board the way our founders envisioned?
If Paul had a John Wayne or Clint Eastwood demeanor, the dems would be shaking in their boots clogs. Whether it's the executive, legislative, or judicial branch, they have all (at various times) lost their way. What's needed now more than ever is a sheepdog to get them back on path.
That 40+% of the populace would elect a socialist president tomorrow based on gender or race is alarming, damning, and speaks volumes of our failure to preserve liberty.(and decency)
That Paul isn't electable suggests a win of style over substance (guilty, I wasn't enthralled at first). That the values we once held paramount to life as Americans can't get a fair shake suggests that, though all is not lost yet, it may soon be.
Freedom and liberty have taken a backseat to expediency and security. Rather than securing our borders and keeping tabs on foreigners from terrorist hotbeds, these lapses mean we must now remove our shoes to board a plane. Pathetic. Three thousand died due to bureaucratic blunders, the rest of us must pay for their ineptitude. Sick.
That Americans haven't traded every ounce of freedom for every pound of state security is uplifting. Might be this concept (freedom) can't be quashed so easily- be it by a beltpack-laden broad in Baghdad or a dynamic SWAT entry into the wrong address in Poedunk, Iowa looking for a bag of weed. The message remains the same: f**k terrorism. Got anything else? You feel lucky today? Huh, punk?
There are only two reasons a McCain nomination could ever have silver lining. First, the media tells us he can [cough] beat Hillary. Second, he's a bull in a china shop. If we could turn his horns away from us (conservatives) and point them toward the Greenie/liberal sh*tstupid ideas he has embraced lately (to appeal to the left) he could gore a lot of what ails us.
I don't want to be in the same room the day he realizes his VC captors share the same values as the liberal 'friends' to whom he 'reaches across the aisle'.
Whoa! Wait! Epiphany! What if this guy is playing rope-a-dope with the left, only to be elected such that he'll be in position finally to make pay-back on these leftists/commies/ JaneFonda AA gunners?! Crush them as he would his captors, had he ever been given the chance! Just think what five years in a POW camp with communist/liberal/communitarian chinese co**su*kers must have been like. Folks, I'm going out on a limb here, but I'll be looking for clues, if he's any good, I'll bet they'll be hard to find. Hot damn, the left is about to get creamed. Go, Stealth Candidate, Go! This may be a Superbowl political upset like no other.
I finally figuered out what five years of torture might do to someone. I put myself in his shoes (best I could). I can't even imagine his hatred of the left but I can imagine a plan to pay them back the best way possible. Not only is he poised to rid us of Hilly and Big Eared Smiley, he's going after Osama. Did you see him on Jay Leno? If he tipped his hand ever, it was right there. OMG!
Folks, this guy McCain has had a plan since his first day as a captive in Viet Nam to pay the 'bastards' back. Five years of rice and water, five years of pain. Somebody's gonna pay. And that 'somebody' is the left- commrades in arms with the Chicoms. Little else could explain his rise to the top from what seemed obscurity. He may be on a mission from God, and who am I go get in the way?
Dear fieldmarshaldj, sorry for the rant. Spin a record? :^)
