The candidate failed to earn them.

That was Duncan Hunter’s problem in the GOP primaries. He
“sucked”, too.
You answered that question yourself. The answer is "sensible in the head."
Homosexuals were kept in the mental institutions until the 1980's for a good reason. They're suppose to be out patients under constant medical attention, but they escaped into the cities. No one bothered to hunt them down.
Adding, "How could America put a Philistine in the Whitehouse?"
Divine purpose? definitely, and soon shall we all, no matter what one believes, find out what that is
I too pray for your brother
If your going to vote and elect a lesbian then make it a good looking Lipstick Lesbian with a an equally good looking partner!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Social conservatives, Christians, those raising children, etc.
I didn’t say Duncan sucked but he sure failed to earn the votes didn’t he?
The more this conversation goes the more I think you are that candidate that sucked and wants to blame whitey. Maybe that attitude was apparent from the beginning.
Or you can tell me I’m wrong and it wasn’t you.
We saw several other independent places proclaiming their cupcakes dotted around town as well.
We did also see quite a few gourmet burger places and in fact, partook at one near Times Square after a show. Can't remember the name, but it was actually quite good.

Separating the wheat from the chaff? The sheep from the goats? The right from the left?
If you think about it, who would be most likely to voluntarily receive a mark, a 666 implant, that would glorify a man - a politician?
He sure failed to win the votes didn’t he.

I’m trying to determine the basis on which a conservative candidate doesn’t get votes, when conservatives say this is what they want.
If Duncan Hunter, a family values man married for decades, Vietnam Veteran, pro-gun, anti-illegal, long term honorably-serving Congressman, can’t get votes because he otherwise “sucks,” what hope does any conservative have? It has nothing to do with your knee-jerk contention that someone’s blaming whitey. If conservatives aren’t going to vote for their compatriots, they shouldn’t act like they care so much.
“Austin does not have “too many people”.
“My opinion is primarily based on the traffic.”
Duh, the city council refused to build roads (like another Mopac lane across Town Lake that was needed about 15 years ago) and Cap metro blows a quarter of a billion DOLLARS on a light rail boondoggle that isnt even running, and you think the real problem is the people? Yeah, the people running the city and not figuring out how to have decent roads! ;-)
“I spent the first 25 years of my life in Odessa and Lubbock.”
LOL, I have a friend who got sick of the Austin libs and moved to Lubbock. He says its great. he loves how people are polite, say grace before meals at public events and wave the flag, the American flag. And the city doesnt invent reasons to spend people’s money. Lubbock will be the last holdout in the Obama-nation.
Several smaller US cities already have openly gay mayors, including Portland, Oregon; Providence, Rhode Island; and Cambridge, Massachusetts.
“And I don’t expect a perfect candidate, but I do need an honest sense of morality based on what the country was founded upon....Is that unreasonable?.....”
NO. But you are a minority.
If you stand up for moral standards you are the declared enemy of all those who live down below them.
Our culture celebrates the denigration of moral standards in many of its cultural products and as such you stand against the tide of defining deviancy down.
In the old days, they had blasphemy as the rule, the boundary line that you couldn’t step outside. That’s gone.
The replacement is Political Correctness, the New Morality of the amoral age.
Wow, talk about lowering standards. You must have beer goggles on.
“If the candidate cannot attract the votes, then either the candidate failed to earn them or the candidate is in the wrong market.”
Maybe he failed to be a good looking enough liar, promising bread and circuses to the people demanding something for nothings.
There’s something about the honest, plodding, boring, non-pandering statesman that seems to completely uninterest the people desperate to be dazzled by HopenChange.
Maybe I am naive, but sometimes I see a glimmer of hope for Austin. When the Obamacare nuts tried to shut down the main Whole Foods store downtown (to protest John Mackie’s anti-socialist position), they were outnumbered about 50 to 1 by shoppers.
Also, we have a couple of very conservative US Representatives in the surrounding areas, John Carter and Lamar Smith. We have them surrounded!
"Texans for Obama" bumper sticker on your Volvo?
You're being awefully defensive of a bunch of Yankee liberals for someone who is supposed to be a conservative.
Maybe you're just a city person.
“Maybe I am naive, but sometimes I see a glimmer of hope for Austin.”
Maybe it’s ‘hopeful’ more than naive, but I find 2 kind of Austinites: Liberals and longhorn fans. and longhorn fans mostly dont give a hoot about politics. Only if Colt McCoy was a Republican would I see any glimmers.
I'll defend my city, my state and my country.
All of the reasons you post for hating Austin could be said of the USA.
Believe me, Dallas isn't far behind, a gay was in the runoff in the last mayoral election in Dallas.
I was there when “out of town” Brown was the police chief. Still disagree. Have you lived there?
