How about you EJ, do you stand w/ your Brother & claim that Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Hugh Hewitt, Judge Robert Bork, William F Buckley, & many Evangelical ministers are questionable talking heads & liberal shills? Are you one of only 3 conservatives on the planet?

Yes, I do...especially because he is perhaps best known for his opposition to illegal immigration.

I just didn’t vote for him if he ran in the primaries.

There were so many names on that ticket, it’s hard to rememeber
all of them!

Yup. Rocky endorsed Slick Willard for Governor because he was such a great libe-er, guy. Ole Slick, of course, endorsed Rocko for Mayor (nevermind them Republicans running, why endorse one of THOSE ?).

You make a good point. Yes, in this election there is no difference between the two candidates. John McCain's continual lies about major and minor issues are greatly disturbing. He is so blatant about his lies. He should know he will be caught, but like a sociopath he does not care.

Hey, wait, that's not fair!

Where did you come from?

There is only 10-12 of us "lunatic Romney haters" (Conservatives interested in the truth) left here at Free Republic...

Don’t you know, he is the chosen one here at FR now, we are out of step!

I do not want to bother Jim Robinson but he will respond if he wants.

Lies, rumors and conspirac theories are not the heated arguments we make about a certain topic or certain individuals as long as we do not make up stuff. It is those absolute lies like what Tennesse Nana came up with about Romney father causing the defeat of Goldwater because he was not noiminated in 1964 where the fact is that George Romeny did not run for President in 1964 but in 1968 and he lost the nomination to Nixon.

Lot crazy lies, rumors, and conspriary theories on FR in the last 2 years. Here is a partial list of this lunacy:

President Bush sold us to Mexico.

President Bush wants to establish a one world government.

McCain is not an natural born American.

McCain wants to sell our sovereignty to Mexico.

Obama birth certificate is fake.

It is over, the sky is falling, the US will cease to be a Super Power and is going to turn into a third world country in 10 years.

All what I listed above is absolutely crazy lies and insane conspriacy theories posted by some members of the forums thousands if not tens of thousands of times. That is the reason the quality of this forum has been going down in the last 2 years.

In a realistic world, if John Adams were alive today his liberal professors would have flunked him for being an individual Conservative. We must live in the time God gives us.

Socialized medicine AND gay marriage were imposed by Dictator Mitt Romney without any vote
except his. He is a dictator who imposes his fascist demands.

Now, do you understand?

I want a person who isn’t obsessed with winning the Presidency. Obsessed liberals like *omney who believe, like Gore, that the Presidency was STOLEN from their daddies are SCARY people.

When Tom dropped out he threw his support behind Mitt.

When Tom was in the race I supported him.

I think that was the final thing that made me support Romney.

Who was it that tried to get a vote of the people to overturn the MA Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage? Try again.

Good. Then we are getting somewhere.

Now try to understand how Romney wrecked the Mass. economy.

""His first budget, presented under a cloud of a $2 billion deficit, balanced the budget with some spending cuts,
but a $500 million increase in various fees was the largest component of the budget fix."
Cato Institute annual Fiscal Policy Report Card - America's Governors, 2004.
Romney was rated a "C" overall by Cato.
As U.S. real output grew 13 percent between 2002 and 2006, Massachusetts trailed at 9 percent.
* Manufacturing employment fell 7 percent nationwide those years, but sank 14 percent under Romney, placing Massachusetts 48th among the states.
* Between fall 2003 and autumn 2006, U.S. job growth averaged 5.4 percent, nearly three times Massachusetts' anemic 1.9 percent pace.
* While 8 million Americans over age 16 found work between 2002 and 2006, the number of employed Massachusetts residents actually declined by 8,500 during those years.
"Massachusetts was the only state to have failed to post any gain in its pool of employed residents," professors Sum and McLaughlin concluded.
In an April 2003 meeting with the Massachusetts congressional delegation in Washington, Romney failed to endorse President Bush's $726 billion tax-cut proposal.

Thompson is always a good Republican. I don’t support McCain until I have a reason to support him. My big issue is illegals, an issue that is 20 feet away from me, and he has done nothing to prove he’s going to aggressively move on deportations and other actions to swiftly spirit illegals back to their nations of origin. He might persuade me with an excellent running mate like Gov. Mark Sanford, but if it’s just another slimy liberal weasel like Slick Willard, he can kiss my vote g’bye for good.

Sanford/Conservative haters post the same YouTube crapola from CNN (!) as 100% proof that he is perpetually discredited,

This is about Sanford vs. Romney. If you can find me a video of Romney looking like a such a complete idiot on national television, I would like to see it.

yet you tout a PROVEN liar, coward, liberal fraud as QUALIFIED ? Have you seriously lost your mind, kid ?

I'm not going to argue with the "liberal" since his flip-flops leave him open to that criticism, though personally I accept his conversion to conservatism as genuine. Or at least as genuine as it needs to be for him to do his job properly.

"Liar" applies in different degrees to all politicians. I don't see Romney as being -- how should I put it, unusually untruthful.

Yes, I think he is well qualified, and his knowledge of economics is a strong plus given the current economy.

Thanks for the "kid," brings back memories...

Romney had already Ordered the clerks to marry anyone
who came to them (they had refused).

Romney demanded that they violate the Mass. Constitution
(as he would violate the US Constitution).

‘Poor’ Romney, always the pseudo-’victim’, protected by
his faithful BOTs on their knees.

Y’know, if Obama wins, we’re gonna STILL see these same shills showing up to tout Slick Willard as the Conservative savior. He’s like a nasty case of herpes that won’t go away, except in his case, he’s the political equivalent of terminal cancer.
