THIS IS WHO WE WANT FOR A PRESIDENT

THIS IS WHO WE WANT FOR A PRESIDENT.

Enough of this wishy-washy crap. Tell it like it is. This is why all the conservatives are surging, this is why Newt is ahead. We want someone to bring it to them. All the others are inferior. There is NO candidate that will tell it like it is. All we get is the platitudes. It's sickening. We know better, and they think we're stupid.

Absolutely true, the radical Kenyan has to go. If he gets 4 more years we’re doomed. Hold your nose if you have to, if he gets another liberal on the court its over.

one step at a time. my focus is to beat down while keeping our conservatives in the game. it’s a long time to the convention. we might even have to fight at the convention. if we can make it to the convention. we have a chance.

there are still lots of phone calls we can make and lots of checks we can write.

I’m afraid then you can start rounding up the shovels, for IA people vote as they are expected to do.

Because people have it in their heads that she can’t win. Despite the fact that conservatives make up a majority of the voting primaries/caucuses and the GOP has the advantage in the Electoral College in 2012, she can’t win /sarc

Oh, and lots of Palin worshippers (as opposed to normal Palin supporters) hate her. How do you tell the difference? Mention Michele Bachmann and the first thing that comes out of their mouth is “Ed Rollins”. Many of these worshippers are on the Newt bandwagon now and are still just as vicious as they were before.

Bachmann Derangement Syndrome runs deep.

I would much prefer one of the conservatives over Newt.

Isn’t there a picture of Barbara Bush with Tip O’Neill too?

“Like Mark Levin said, “I’ll vote for an orange juice can.”

Make that a ham sandwich and he has my vote too!

wouldn’t worry. i’m sure a patriot like sarah (heard her speak in san jose) won’t hesitate to endorse bachmann if she earns the top conservative spot. that remains to be seen, but that doesn’t stop me from writing checks to all the conservatives remaining in the race.

Like Mark Levin said, “I’ll vote for an orange juice can.” You can’t sit this one out. 4 more years of Obama is unacceptable, we can’t survive him. He’ll unleash his commie crap on this country with no fear.

Worth repeating, esp. the part about the survival of the Republic.

“I’ll ask you again would Reagan have pulled the same stupid stunt with Nancy Pelosi and sit on the same couch “

OK, Let me respond to the couch controversy.

1. Newt has repudiated that video as a mistake. Unless you think a single media gaff disqualifies a candidate, the couch video should not characterize Newt.

2. Reagan is well know with being collegial with leading Democrats, especially the speaker of the house Tip O’neil. Reagan crafted the media image of two buddies who liked to go out for beers after work. This Reagan tactic is analogous to Newt appearing with leading Dems. on tv. Newt was trying to rehabilitate his image as a partisan extremist.

3. Reagan often met with opponents in public to create the impression that he could work with the other side. If you can’t defeat them, kill ‘em with kindness is a Reagan principle.

3. Even Reagan was fooled by a “global warming” like hysteria of his day known as Ozone depletion in the late 1980s. In this sense, Reagan took the wrong side for a while just like Newt for a while. Hey, we all make mistakes.

“Brussels in 1987, where an American negotiator taking part in secret talks held a cable from Ronald Reagan instructing him to negotiate a strong treaty to phase out substances depleting the atmosphere’s protective ozone layer.”

The most dangerous time for the republic will be in the lame duck session when Boehner, and McConnell can show their real colors. They will hold hands with Reid and Pelosi and Obama will sign it all.

Don’t forget the tea party repubs who showed their colors in the debt ceiling and supercommittee votes- like Tim Griffin and Bozeman of Arkansas.

Publicly state the Dems want the same thing for America that the Republicans do, hence the need to comprimise with them “for the good of America?”

I can’t think of a single thing that Pelosi, Reid, or Obama want that is good for America.

Time to primary the compromisers, and find some citizens who will honor the oath of office.

don’t get me wrong. mark levin is a national treasure, and yes i *could* vote for an orange juice can over obama, but personally cannot morally pull the lever for romney. that global warming idol he has in his office, along with his advocacy of medical slavery (romneycare) and his pro-abortion stance keeps me from ever doing that.

Newt is smart, has great ides and knows how Washington works, and how it doesn’t work.

But he keeps having these relapses or interupts and then runs off the tracks.

Imagine if he had been President when he buddied up with Pelosi on the couch.
One flash of her knickers and he would have signed Cap and Trade into law.

As far as complaints about “ESTABLISHMENT” - Newt is just about as establishment as it gets.

“Many will say that is just re-electing Obama..”

If you choose not to vote, pleasant dreams for the next four years - it’s your choice.

Deja vu. That sounds exactly like the same crap/bs I saw being spewed here right before we lost our ASS in the 2006 election...which got us Reid and Pelosi and started us down the path to bankruptcy and ruin.....and then again in 2008....which got us the Marxist Muslime.

To all of you that "think" that you just won't be able to stomach voting against Obama next year if the Rep candidate isn't your "cup of tea".....

SCREW YOU!

It is you and others LIKE you, that stayed home and stayed stupid, that have gotten us here in the first damned place. If you had voted against the POS in the WH we wouldn't be going down the tubes at warp speed as we speak.

But nooooo! And here you are again, spouting the same stupid bullshit. I repeat....

SCREW YOU. And I hope you get what you really REALLY do deserve. And I mean that sincerely.

EOR

"Considering the choices we have, I’m not sure I will even vote in this one. Seems that all we are left with are losers and misfits. The only one left that might make a difference is Bachmann and she is so low in the poles as to be out for all purposes."
