I certainly do not need approval from the likes of you.

Good, because you would never get it. I find you and your wolf pack friends on FR to be the kind of people I would never want to associate myself with because you are bitter, hostile, bile stuffed Mormon haters. And you will never change. You can’t teach an old dog a new trick.

The pic is a fraud...I so dislike these people but can’t go along with fabricating something that’s just not there.

Many of Perry’s positions are right-on. But he doesn’t appear very sharp. Personally, I honestly believe that he would be another Bush....lots of promises, poor on delivery.

The mormons I know are the nicest people you will ever meet, such a strange comment, if you are in fact serious.

1. I detest mormonISM..born into it, lived it and left it. 2. Lived with mormons for years...they are no better or worse than any other group of people. I personally know this.

Why do you defend the sect? How much, exactly do you KNOW about the doctrines and practices?

Romney /Cain .....just a guess

It will never happen for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is both come from business backgrounds.

” I suspect Flaglady’s support of Mitt is mostly related to his religion, they are both LDS. “ <<<

Well that may explain it. The African American voting block votes on skin color. The country, however, is not open to bland, nor someone seen flipping on policy flops with which he has filled his resume. Not cool. Whether he is Mormon or a water buffalo has nothing to do with the sorry record he brings to the table.

i didn’t watch the debate tonight for the simple fact this is stupid of the Republicans. You are playing into the media and Obama’s hand by all these debates being run by partisan Democrats. You would never see the Democrats do this! At the end of the day Cain, Perry or Romney can kick Obama if we don’t implode. I think the media wants Romney for the simple fact they think Obama is toast and want the most liberal Republican.

Cain says that goods will be much cheaper because prices will come way down because everyone will want to do business in the US.

Prices will come down because now hidden taxes represent about 22% of the costs of goods. Those costs will be eliminated by the new tax code.

There would be no taxes on used goods.

I would say all in all that your assessment is pretty accurate.

The polls that come out in the next few days should be interesting.

Speaking of which, are there any after debate polls online that we should be checking out?

You are sadly mistaken. People posting the TRUTH about the cult of Mormonism are not "Mormon haters", they are being theologically honest about what the cult of Mormonism has taught from it's inception, what the cult believes, and what the cult teaches.

Since it's inception, the leaders of Mormonism along with it's doctrine has stated that Mormonism is NOT CHRISTIANITY, nor is it Christian because according to Joseph Smith and all the rest of their false prophets: Christianity and ALL of Christendom and all of it's doctrine and teaching was in TOTAL APOSTASY prior to the so-called "revelation" given to Joseph Smith. For over a hundred and fifty years Mormons have rejected Christianity and called it the Satanic whore of Babylon.

Now, all of a sudden, over the last decade Mormons are claiming to be "Christian" and "Christians". Why? Because they believe the masses are so spiritually ignorant of basic doctrine regarding BIBLICAL Christianity; the faith once and for all, delivered to the saints, that they think they can foist this outright LIE upon the public and call everyone who is proclaiming the truth regarding the cult of Mormonism, even when citing the words directly spoken by Mormon sources for all of their false doctrines = "Mormon haters".

Christians who are thus engaged in this task are obligated to do so by God Himself for we have been charged by God with the task of "contending earnestly for the faith which was once for all handed down to the saints". (Jude 1:3 NASB)

....”You have to watch Newt. .....Remember Nancy on the sofa?”....

I’ve seen reference to this on several posts and you guys need to get up to date...That setting was in support of the Global Warming push BEFORE the E-mails were released testifying to the bad science about it.

Once Newt, and many others as well, had all the facts he completely changed course...and in fact had and still has petitions out there to stop it.

Newt wasn’t the only one suckered into that scam and he won’t be the last. But at least he turned around once the facts were substantiated that it was all based on bogus science by so called professionals who were in it for just what Global Warming is about...a cash fund pool on an International Scale.

The Rio Grande can be fenced on the US side, as long as you provide controlled access points for those US citizens and agencies that require ready access to the water.

Indeed. There is a stream about 100yds from my fence line and I get all the water I want from that stream, gravity fed.

I do not believe that all those who oppose the idea of a fence or wall are doing so because of a water issue that can easily resolved. I believe they just do not want the fence be it because they are soft on ILLEGAL immigration, they want the cheap labor, they want to defend La Raza Rick's opposition to a fence, or they don't want our neighbors to the south hating us because we have fenced them out.

I find none of the above reasons to be a logical or acceptable basis for not utilizing the benefits a fence would provide. None.

Now that the debate is over, you’ll note that not a SINGLE question was asked about Fast&Furious, Solyndra, Light-Sqared, the Indiana Forgery Scandal, etc.?


Woah! So much to keep up with so little time. Is the Indiana Forgery Scandal the AG signature being forged for dear barry’s eligibility?
