Her sister who is also hot, is married to Alan Colms. Go figure!
I disagree completely. Romney never got the required traction, because the last two times he ran for office, he ran to the left of Ted Kennedy. However, he did “talk the talk enough” to draw some conservative support. The Huckster further split the vote by waiving a Bible and then the Media did their part by running story after story about Thompson “not doing as well as predicted”.
big baby....
Then I must not have gotten my membership papers to the “Real” conservative wing (I guess that would be the far right fringe...) of the party.
Does the membership package include: 1) How to be a bad sport? :2) How to be a name caller? 3) How to trash the only hope we have running for president?
How many times to people have to post his conservative voting record befor you get it?
Nope. The REAL conservatives were with Fred (and Duncan) all along.
I personally like the idea of Romney and Huck as the vote splitters for McCain.
Because what he did twenty years ago is not nearly so important as what he's done in the last eight.
Here, let me post a link to his voting record.
He ain't the most conservative that ever voted but he wasn't a liberal, until lately.
I still don't know how I will vote.
What happens when McCain plops face first into his soup at a campaign dinner? The guy is way past his sell date. Yeah, I’ll vote for this backstabber if he’s still ambulatory on Nov 4th

Rush in___ October 2006 ___ before the election:
“..But none of it still clicks logically to me why you expect — or why you think — by sending your own people out of power adds up to a good thing, especially positioning you for a re-conquest of that power in 2008. I’ll tell you what’s going to happen. If the Republicans lose the House and the Senate because of principled conservatives who exercise their power by doing nothing, by staying home and [not] voting, and if the Democrats win, they’re not going to stop being kooky and they can’t start being kooky because they are kooky to begin with. It stuns me. ...
“..The idea facilitating all this, while hiding under this or behind the banner of: “I’m principled and they’ve let me down and they need to be taught a lesson.”
Well, fine and dandy, but why is it that you don’t think the left needs to be taught a lesson for their absolutely unbelievable childish, immature, and dangerous behavior the last five years? How do they escape your wrathful eye? How is it that the Democrats somehow don’t make you mad? What is this death wish that some of you have? Why is it you cannot see who the real problem in America is or who your real enemy is in a political sense? Why can’t you see it? And if you do see it, then would somebody explain to me how ignoring the enemy and allowing them to gain more power somehow advances your cause? It may make you feel better, and it may mean that you are selfish, and it may mean you’re trying to portray yourself as smarter and more forward thinking than anybody else.
But it’s a death wish, particularly this notion that they’re not going to get anything done in the next two years anyway, and they’ll learn a lesson. Let me tell you about learning a lesson. In two years, you same people who will have helped bring about an ascension to power by the Democrats are going to be so angry; you’re going to be so fed up over what they have tried to do, over the things they will maybe have accomplished, that you are going to demand power back — and you will accept anybody that you think has a chance of winning it.
Right now, that looks like McCain above anybody else — who, I must tell you, is not a conservative — and so what are you probably going to end up doing? You’re going to be so frustrated by 2008 and the thought of Hillary Clinton becoming president is so obnoxious, so abhorrent, that in 2008, you will flush your precious principles down the drain and elect a Republican, precisely the kind of Republican you think you’re running against now. Or you will at least nominate one. Who knows how that election will go. So the very principle that you are fighting here, if you succeed, you will be given a candidate who fits the very thing you’re angry about, somebody who’s not conservative enough, but probably has the best chance of winning. ...” excerpted from:

BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: I want to continue on the theme that has evolved over the past couple of days, maybe even a little bit longer than that and that is the notion, well, there’s an argument out there raging between noted professionals like me and rank amateurs over whether or not it’s a smart thing to do to not vote in this election. I’ve heard this before. You know, I’ve heard the argument, “Well, the Republicans abandoned their principles, and I’m not going to abandon mine, so screw them!” The last time this happened in significant numbers to deleterious effect was 1992, when a bunch of Republicans said to hell with Bush 41 and the no-new-taxes promise that he broke.
“We have to show these guys a lesson,” so we ended up with eight years of Bill Clinton — and ...” [snip] http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/1968154/posts?page=42#42
