Fair enough. Wondering why everyone was trying so hard to win the nomination if it doesn't mean anything.
I’ll vote for the Democrat Romney before I’d vote for the communist Obama any day. And as one of the last voters in Florida in 2000, one vote can make a difference.
I get the greatest kick out of getting you folks wound up!!! And.....you fall for it every single time!!! Leftie lunatics vs. Rightie lunatics, one and the same. They react in exactly the same way. LOL. Hope you have a sense of humor!!!
Do I want Romney? No.
Did I vote for him in the primary? No.
Does anyone else (Paul, Gingrich) have any chance at all remaining? No.
Am I happy about that? No.
Is there a snowball’s chance that a convention fight will produce a different outcome? No.
Therefore, I have two options.
1) Vote for they guy who’s speeding toward the cliff at 95 MPH instead of 100 MPH and hope I can do something with those extra few minutes of life
or
2) Stay at home wrapped in righteous indignation and help Mr. 100 MPH toward the cliff get reelected. After his accidental open-mike comment, “This is my last election,” said Obama. “After my election I have more flexibility.”, he scares me a lot more than the other one.
I don’t like it, but it is what it is.
Excellent, thank you and bookmark.
It changes nothing in their records, RINO pusher.
Excellent presentation! BTTT!
No Bama!! No Romney!! Go tea party rebellion!!
Dittos.
Yeah, and for that matter, where’s Fred Karger’s? LOL
So, between the two that have a chance of being elected president in 2012, who will you vote for? The Democrat Socialist, or the Republican Socialist?
Jim, I’ll write in Newt. Can’t vote Ron Paul because he’s just to far out on foreign policy. I think he’d sell out Israel faster than Obama will.
Bookmark.
Rick Santorum is suspended, not dead. He will still appear on some ballots, and until he releases his delegates, they are still committed to him.
I have an excellent sense of humor. You don’t.
Are you calling me a “rightie lunatic” because I said you are nuts? I don’t get it.

(EXCERPT)
Born in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Newts experiences as the son of a career soldier convinced him at an early age to dedicate his life to his country and to the protection of freedom. Realizing the importance of understanding the past in order to protect the future, he immersed himself in the study of history, receiving his Bachelors degree from Emory University and Masters and Doctorate in Modern European History from Tulane University. Before his election to Congress in 1978, Newt taught History and Environmental Studies at West Georgia College for eight years. He represented Georgia in Congress for twenty years, including four years as Speaker of the House.
Newt served on the Defense Policy Board under President George W. Bush, which provided strategic counsel to the Pentagon and Secretary of Defense on how to better address threats facing the United States. He is also the longest-serving teacher of the Joint War Fighting course for Major Generals at Air University and taught officers from all five services as an honorary Distinguished Visiting Scholar and Professor at the National Defense University. In 1999, Gingrich was appointed to the United States Commission on National Security/21st Century, the Hart/Rudman Commission to examine our national security challenges as far out as 2025. The Commissions report is the most profound rethinking of defense strategy since 1947.
