” There are a few misguided, very passionate folks, that say they are, but when it comes down to it, they will support whomever is the (R) nominee, and so will I. “

It is painfully obvious that we are all passionate. And I appreciate your scolding. I have not used ad homenim attacks, I don’t believe. The facts on the ground speak for themselves and there is little need to get personal. I hope I have not gone personal. I also hope you are correct, that these folks will get behind Rick, or we will all be living with Romney.

It is unhelpful to have a candidate who can not keep us on the same page by sharing his command of the issues, the tools to properly defend him on the facts of the case against him, one by one, as they come up. It goes to his competency to lead and our ability to defend him while he is leading.

I am not using circular logic to see clearly that we have threads here today that are off in the weeds, ignoring Obama, because we are left without enough information to properly defend Rick and battle against the bots of all stripes, who are on here today bashing Rick, promoting some yahoo candidate, or yaking about some other non-candidate’s high principles. Was “yahoo” ad homenim? Maybe I do use such devices. Hmm.

Like the snark tag, it would be helpful if the bots and the Perry brigade would once in awhile tag, or add a comment that we will each be supporting the best nominee for the general election. So, I hope you are right and that in the end we will.

“because we are left without enough information to properly defend Rick and battle against the bots of all stripes, who are on here today bashing Rick, promoting some yahoo”

It isn’t about ‘defending’ anyone Rita. It’s about getting the truth out there and letting the people decide for themselves. The harder you ‘defend’ Perry on these issues only shows the need to ‘defend’ them. Palin has been vetted.

So we are to ignore Perry’s flubs because it’s all about ‘winning’? Principles be damned? Gonna push Romney again as well?

Thanks for taking my post with a good heart, it was meant that way, and responding with class.

I don’t think even the most RINO of all RINO’s would so self defeating as to refuse to vote for the (R) nom, whomever that turns out to be.
