I have said it dozens of times and made no friends for doing so, but it’s true. Many of the ‘conservatives’ on FR are anything but. When it comes time to display the conservative ideals they claim loudly to enspouse, they duck, run, and make excuses for why behaving like a liberal, taking liberal positions et all, doesn’t “REALLY” mean they are a liberal. st like the Dems did RE “Patriotism” when they backed the terrorists over GWB.
JR has guts. He’s no coward like many of the sudden romneybots and he’s informed. He stands for what he believes in and is willing to put FR on the line to do it. That’s the kind of American many of these liberals wish they could be but are too afraid of the ‘evil Obama’ to actually be.
Another pro Obama Freeper. rat...It's the new conservatism!
rat...It's the new conservatism!
To quote John Belushi...”did we surrender when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?”
That’s what this feels like. Two small slivers of Mr. Santorum’s speech (coupled with a little wisdom of Rush) still give a little hope...
Santorum SUSPENDED his campaign. Parsing here...bit NOT the same a “I quit.”
Santorum did NOT mention Romney by name. No endorsement, or let’s get behind him...nope.
And I view those points with an explanation Rush gave today. Apparently Santorum, in Rush’s POV, wanted some sort of “teaming” with Newt—but Gingrich has made this personal—so no deals, but also NO releasing of delegates.
So...does Newt now “do better” in remaining primaries? Will Santorum still pick up delegates in remaining primaries? There is, visible by this thread, a strong antiRomney sentiment...so IF Romney doesn’t campaign (and doesn’t scorch the earth) will the other two (and Paul) continue to pick up delegates (votes AGAINST Myth) and Obamney arrives at the convenvention less than 1144? How and why would Obamney run ads if he “has won?”
I don’t think he is such a sure thing as much as I did when he was destroying Santorum and Gingrich.
Another Freeper for the greater of 2 evils. rat...It's the new conservatism.
Jim is an inspiration. I also look to the Founders. They would NOT have done the easy thing. They did not. It was all or nothing. The same thing that the Boss is trying to encourage. Had the Founders done what some of these posters are espousing, there never would have been a “United States of America”. Defending our country from creeping socialism isn’t easy. As we have said, those posters are ruled by fear and not principles.
Yep, I’m sticking with Newt as well...certainly not Romney...take it to convention and let the chips fall where they may. At the very least we can say we fought the whole way and did not give up.....and at most we could very well win over Romney!!!!!!!!
On to Convention!!!!
My biggest prayer is Romney will drop out!!!!...I know I’m dreaming but nobody thought Santorum would either. So anything can happen.
If Milt Rominy (rhymes with that corn product, hominy) gets the pubby nomination, We The People are going to have to elect enough pubbies to run the Senate and House, so that when little barry bastard is sworn in, again illicitly by the pirate Roberts, the impeachment and removal of the commie scum can proceed over the LDS inc Reid efforts to protect the lying scumbag.
I’m voting for that Jim Thompson fellow.
INDEED.
imho, the script/outline is fairly well set . . .
however, I do believe that we can delay things by prayer
and probably lessen the devastations in some locales by unified prayer on the part of all authentic Christians across denominational lines.
The world will again see NEW TESTEMENT CHRISTIANITY WITH INTEREST . . . i.e. MORE ADDED ON . . . GREATER WORKS THAN THESE . . .
but there will be a price to pay . . . and luke Warm pseudo-Christianity won’t even understand the price, much less be willing to pay it.
We truly wrestle not against flesh and blood and ignorant demonized satanic politicos of all labels . . . but against [spiritual] principalities in high places. . .
Let us pull down such strongholds as led of Holy Spirit through prayer and fasting.
Folks do not seem to know about how much prayer was critical in 1776 and every war since then—regardless of the evil-doers who started globalist wars later . . . or their motives.
There are mysteries aplenty but it is still awesome that ALMIGHTY CREATOR GOD HAS set it up such that such flawed creatures saved by the Priceless Blood of His Son can influence history by our humble prayers.
I think one of the major eternal—probably THE MAJOR eternal benefit of FR will turn out to have been Jim’s insistence that Prayer threads have a place and prayer has a place in the main business of FR.
It will likely be INCREASINGLY so in the increasingly critical months to come.
AS The Scripture says . . .
Deut 32:
30How should one chase a thousand, and two put ten thousand to flight, except their Rock had sold them, and the LORD had shut them up?
31For their rock is not as our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.
I haven’t even voted yet! Everybody I backed has disappeared. Cain. Newt(somewhat). Santorum. I’m gladly back to Newt but will he be around by the CA primaries? Crap, I hope so.
“Another Freeper for the greater of 2 evils. rat...It’s the new conservatism. “
As opposed to what? voting for one lib over another? One sound bite over another? Critical thought...you lackZ it!
Tell Mitt we said no.
How did Newt make this personal?
Newt has been very gracious to Santorum, even today.
It was Santorum who crowed last month that he was proud of the role he played to dump Newt in 1999.
Santorum knew he was getting into a very contested race when he started. If anyone saw the duplicity and fakeness of Romney up close and personal, it was Santorum.
Right now, there is a new political reality:
It is Newt or it is Romney.
All I see on this thread is the wailing and the gnashing of teeth. But what is the plan?
We have one last conservative in the race.
It you won’t support Newt, you will get Romney.
So, what is it going to be Freepers?
I knew that I could count on you!!
Amen.
All of the voices in my head agree with you, Jim!
NO CCOMPROMISE! NO RETREAT! NO SURRENDER!

That's exactly what the liberals are saying....and all those who can't seem to wrap around their head this isn't just a Presidential race.....it's a serious and blood thristy war between what is good and what is not for our country.....
You know fully well that Romney is a Liberal Democrate and you cannot rely on anything he's been spewing out there. He'll set the Scotus with Liberal Judges just as Obama will.....Romney has nothing to loose....he knows you know he can't be trusted and doesn't care. He only wants your vote so he can have his long sought after position.
It's not about country for Romney...it's about Romney period. ..and he'll so whatever his superiors want in order to remain President if he gets it.
No I will not vote for the slimeball....and you can put the blame on Obama winning, if he does square on the lap of Romney, the Media and the GOP...which is where it belongs.
Further Romney has not been able to to unite us...what makes you think he'll get congress to unite under anything we want....he'll fold in a heartbeat...he's spineless and has no manner of ability to "war" when it needs it.
Go ahead and vote GOP or nothing. Rove, Mittens, Boehner and the rest of the RINO’s appreciate your support.
But as for conservatives like me? We will NOT support a party that has betrayed us.
So taking a hike is certainly intelligent.
stupid....except that I already sent my check in, I'd just call it a day...
