So what’s the problem with what I said...other than you don’t like it?

Morality is absolute, it's not subject. Reality exists, beyond anyones' beliefs about it. There is a real Right and a real Wrong, that exist outside of and beyond anyones' feelings or mental attitudes or beliefs.

You are a sick leftist piece of garbage and for some reason haven't gotten banned.

I don't like leftist garbage, that's why I loathe your POV which reveals a sick leftist garbage consciousness.

Honestly, I’m so sick and tired of reading doom-and-gloom posts on FR, which seem to be becoming more plentiful here these days.

LOL!

Your n00bie status makes your whole post a joke.

I really don’t see any other alternative that will do any good. All the rest are either very, very flawed or totally stink.

"Of the opposite sex? Really? Just friends huh? Happens all the time."

Some are of the opposite sex, some not. Most are on various Church committees I am involved with on Church projects and ministries. This involves daily activites and much communication. I would imagine my wife communicates with most of them as much or more often than I do.

There were 61 both to and from. Who knows who many were from her? Or how long any were, or what they said?

Until more (aka “real”) evidence shows up, this means nothing at all.

Unfortunatly the number of allegations has already sunk Cain. Just as the dems planned it when they set it all up. It didn't matter how credible they were, as long as they could get 4 or so to trash him the media would take it from there.

Not sure what I think of Perry. I'm afraid of him getting destroyed in a debate with O.

Are you talking about the Kenyan Klown that needs a teleprompter to speak in a high school classroom?

The idiot wasn't even taking questions.

I would debate Obozo on any subject without notes except his muslim faith.

LOL!

“Compromising conservative principles is not a winner.”

How did John McCain get the nomination again?

He’s [Rick Perry] a good family man with no female skeletons in his closet.

And there are no male skeletons in his closet, regardless of how the DemonRAT has pushed that vile lie. Of course, Perry may have a coyote skeleton in his closet awaiting a trip to the taxidermist. :-)

4)I’ve been breathing the same air for 40 years, and I’m fine, just like everyone else is fine.

Have you investigated the huge increase in asthma cases in the United States? Perhaps you will want to look into this before making a broad general statement about everyone else being fine.

I’m damn tired of seeing our candidates politically assassinated and not backed up by our party, . . .

I, for one, would rather be associated with a party that DOES NOT circle the wagons around a politician who wonders off the reservation, so to speak. I'm damn tired of seeing dimocRATS circling the wagons around members of the dimocRAT party who commit moral lapses or outright crimes, while vilifying any and all conservatives who commit acts which pale in comparison to their party members. This is what angers me greatly. If a conservative is caught with their hands in the cookie jar, then justice be done. I can agree with you that there needs to be evidence of malfeasance before that individual is crucified by the media. Unfortunately, the reality is that the media crucifies conservatives and gives passes to liberals. It's maddening.

As for your feelings of being stabbed in the back by members of the GOP, could you provide some examples of this please. Just who did the stabbing (McCain we all know about and it's not necessary to name him), and to which issue is this attached? In politics, compromise is a large part of the game. Or, rather, it use to be. Even Ronald Reagan made compromises with his liberal "enemies". Today, with the crew wrecking the WH now, there is NO such thing as compromise. Obozo attempts to give the appearance that he is willing to compromise, but with the knowledge that his goal is to make the GOP look like a do-nothing party. The only compromise liberals want and demand is for us to sit in the backseat while they drive the ship of state into a reef.

You couldn’t get more than a third of the conservative base to vote for Buchanan.

Agreed. Surely, Palin sees this as well, and is horrified at how the race is developing.

Naturally, I'd love to see her screw up her courage and stand for the nomination, but I'm willing to accept the fact that she won't, and that she'll (ugh) endorse one of these flawed people.

But I am not going to throw him under the bus, I will stand with him because I believe he is being slandered. He can throw himself under the bus if the allegations are true.

I hope the allegations are just that only. If it turns out that Cain has engaged in such conduct, then he has sunk his campaign and has no one else to blame. Until evidence surfaces, not just allegations, I think you are right to stick by Cain. Allegations are easy to make, and liberals are pro's at the art of lies.

Please don’t let the MSM pick our candidates.

Buying this “It’s the accusation” crap is playing into them.

As far as I can see, there are only two candidates that have any shot whatever at beating Obama. One is Mitt Romney and the other is Ron Paul.

Perhaps you need to see your optometrist!!

“Meanwhile the GOP refuses to give us a candidate worth voting for.”

You mean Romney?

I think he meant Ru Paul. Ru Paul stands a good chance at the Democrat nomination.

Bachmann is without a shadow of a Doubting Thomas the most conservative candidate left in the race. But she has not projected “likability” to the regular joe voter out there.

Bachmann is not ready for the job and has earned the title of being less likable than Hillary Clinton. She screeches like a liberal.

There is a reason that she doesn't stand a chance.
