As I recall samtheman, you were a Sarah Palin supporter (as I had been for years -- posting my threads and vanities in support and defense of her). Then I realized Sarah Palin was not running but Rick Perry was (Apparently, you also saw his ideology was in line with hers, as you began posting Palin-Perry composite photos to my Rick Perry threads).
Now you've moved your support to Newt Gingrich (I don't know if that was a straight line or if Herman Cain was before Newt).
Newt (quoted above in post #1] liked Sarah's following in Iowa but said she could only succeed if "..[she] ..“seeks out a group of sophisticated policy advisers” and “spends time developing a series of fairly sophisticated positions.”
Yet you made it a point to post that I am a "tired old repetitive hack" in your defensive of Newt Gingrich, someone who finds Sarah Palin lacking in those "sophisticated" complex thoughts and government policies he is so famous for attributing to himself.
Don't worry samtheman, no one will now associate you with me or my support of Gov. Perry -- but rather with Gingrich who only wants your vote, and who in fact finds you and the rest us middle Americans, intellectually beneath his contempt.
I never got on the Cain train.
I went from Palin, to Perry, to WTF am I gonna do, to, finally, Newt.
(I have never stopped supporting and even loving Sarah Palin, but she’s not running, and as an adult I accept that.)
As for your other questions, I think they are basically irrelevant given the fact that you personally have changed so much.
Remember the Cincinatus’ Wife you used to be? A series of positive posts about your chosen candidate, Perry.
What are you doing now? Attacking a front-runner just because he’s the front-runner.
What does that make you. It makes you one of THEM. The same THEM who pilloried Perry with unreasonable attacks just because he was the front runner.
You want to be one of THEM?
My only thought is, and I sincerely apologize in advance if I am wrong, is that you are paid by the Perry campaign.
That would be one explanation for your change in character.
If that’s the case, I can respect that, given the current state of our economy. But I don’t respect that you don’t admit to it, if it is indeed the case.
If it’s not the case, then you I think an explanation for your “change” is forthcoming.
I think you owe us that.
