THIS IS GREAT: "Only in America" (Vanity)
May 22, 2012 | Unknown

1) Only in America could politicians talk about the greed of the rich at a $35,000 a plate Democrat campaign fund raising event.

2) Only in America could people claim that the government still discriminates against Black Americans when we have a Black President, a Black Attorney General, and roughly 8% of the FEDERAL workforce is black. 12% of the population is black.

3) Only in America could we have had the two people most responsible for our tax code, Timothy Geithner, the head of the Treasury Department and Charles Rangel who once ran the Ways and Means Committee, BOTH turn out to be tax cheats who are in favor of higher taxes.

4) Only in America can we have terrorists kill people in the name of Allah and have the media primarily react by fretting that Muslims might be harmed by the backlash.

5) Only in America would we make people who want to legally become American citizens wait for years in their home countries and pay tens of thousands of dollars for the privilege while we discuss letting anyone who sneaks into the country illegally just become American citizens.

6) Only in America could the people who believe in balancing the budget and sticking by the country's Constitution be thought of as "extremists."

7) Only in America could you need to present a driver's license to cash a check or buy alcohol, but not to vote.

8) Only in America could people demand the government investigate whether oil companies are gouging the public because the price of gas went up when the return on equity invested in a major U.S. oil company (Marathon Oil) is less than half of a company making tennis shoes (Nike).

9) Only in America could the government collect more tax dollars from the people than any nation in recorded history, still spend a trillion dollars more than it has per year for total spending of $7 million PER MINUTE, and complain that it doesn't have nearly enough money.

10) Only in America could the rich people who pay 86% of all income taxes be accused of not paying their "fair share" by people who don't pay any income taxes at all.

Only in America could you champion higher estate taxes and not surrender a penny yourself, as the Kennedys do.

I would change the “only in America” to “Only the democrats in Congress” and then hit the campaign trail.

Correction to #2. Approximately 18% of the federal workforce is black.

Don't hold your breath! First the Repubs would have to realize that this country is a REPUBLIC and get down and dirty to keep it that way, but it seems that they are too busy serving themselves to serve the Republic.

You are correct with re: to #2. 18% of Federal workforce is Black. My bad.

It is time to oppose the same sorry mistakes that McCain and the RINO Party made in 2008.

It is also time for us as Conservatives to recognize and avoid making the same sorry mistakes that WE made in 2008.

One mistake that we made in 2008 was to revert back to the old days when we were known as “The Silent Majority.” We grumbled, held our noses, and Caved-In as all good RINO sheep are expected to do.

Our Silent Caving-In in 2008 created the problem that MANY Conservatives refused to vote for McCain.

IF we behave in 2012 as RINO Sheep and Cave-In to whoever the RINOs endorse, nominate and support, then we Conservatives are no better than our RINO U.S. Representatives and Senators who always Cave-In.

This election is for ALL of the marbles! We cannot afford to play the old RINO game that caused the defeat of McCain to Marxist Obama in 2008.

Obama is much stronger politically now than he was against McCain in 2008, but the RINO Party refuses to consider that reality.

It is time to DUMP ROMNEY who is obviously to weak of a candidate to beat Obama.

The Delegates need to choose in an OPEN Convention a strong NON-RINO Nominee who can soundly defeat Obama, and coat-tail U.S. Senators and Representatives into Congress.

Romney is not that man: DUMP ROMNEY!

We must learn from the mistakes made by the McCain Campaign and rub the collective noses of the RINOs in it!

Romney is counting on the old Classical Conservative Cave-In.

I can hear Romney now: “You have no choice but to vote for me. I’ll be even more severely Conservative than I was when I rammed through Romney”care.” Trust me, I know how The Economy works. Etc, etc., etc.”

The battle to win back a CONSERVATIVE White House is starting to break wide open!

Amen to that!
Romney is a deeply flawed candidate.
By the middle of October 2012 his poll numbers
will reflect his imminent defeat in November.
No matter how much his individual state poll numbers
go up or down after the Republican convention
Romney will never be a ‘Knight in Shining Armor’
for anyone but the Republican elites (RINO’s).

Only in America can the most incompetent illegal alien be elected president.

One thing you will know if you elect a republican for president or for any other office. You will know that he will have been completely disemboweled and vetted. Only in America will the democrat get a complete pass.

America is broke.

After 60 % of each workday has expired, or 1:48 PM, the US Federal government has to borrow money in order to complete the 8 hour work day.

Romney will continue to increase the amount of money that the US Federal Government will have to borrow from YOUR Grandchildren’s descendants.

It is all about the money, your grandchildren’s descendants money.

Since the Primary Campaign smokescreen topics of “Jobs, Jobs, Jobs” and “The Economy” were the substitute topics in order to avoid solving THE GIGANTIC NATIONAL DEBT, Romney never came up with a workable Federal Baseline, year to year, Spending Cut Plan.

We as a Nation of Responsible Adults can no longer afford to “get behind whoever the empty suit of the year is” and hope for the best. “By golly, it will be different THIS time! You just mark my words!” Is an insane way of trying to fail.

After a non-problem solving Primary, and >3 years of Obama’s incompetence and finantial disaster, the best the RINO Party can do is to continue to endorse, close ranks behind a Candidate who has not even won enough delagates by this late date in May to declare himself the Nominee. AND he is statistically tied with Obama in National Opinion Polls!

ROMNEY Is A WEAK CANDIDATE!

Voters to RINOs: MAYDAY! MAYDAY! MAYDAY!

IF Romney is doing as poorly as I have described, THEN let us DUMP ROMNEY and choose a MUCH better Nominee. THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, if y’all doubt me then just read any thread on FR and count the number of FReeper voters who plan to sit on their hands instead of voting.

Blame, flame or shame all that you want to, but the fact remains Romney is a VERY weak Candidate for President, but would make a great Ambassador to the UN in President Allen West’s Administration.

Let’s put an end to Romney’s wonderful-sounding lies, and work to DUMP ROMNEY. Romney has been telling lies that con us into believing that “Change” is coming.

There will be little change. Romney will be Obamalite. For example, Romney says that he will “get rid of” Obama”care” by sending it in 50 pieces to our already bankrupt 50 States. That will just increase the financial, and regulation impact of Obama”care.”

My reasoning for the DUMP ROMNEY Campaign is as follows:

DUMP ROMNEY and replace him with a stellar Dark Horse Republican Presidential Nominee.

IF Romney is probably going to lose to Obama, THEN it is incumbent upon the RNC to intervene and declare an OPEN Convention, regardless of the Primary delegates that Romney has.

Continued accumulation of Primary delegates in the remaining State Primaries is the key to improving Paul’s chances of forcing the GOP-E to hold an OPEN Convention in Tampa.

Paul will then have completed his main task in this Primary: giving the delegates the freedom to DUMP ROMNEY!

My goal is to defeat the insanity of Keyensian Economics in “both” of our very sorry political parties THIS YEAR!

This can be accomplished by the Delegates choosing a stellar Dark Horse Nominee, such as R-Rep. Allen West of Florida, to slaughter Obama in a November Landslide.

It is not enough to beat Obama, he must be smashed in a huge landslide to repudiate his Marxist ideas for America!

Romney is not Warrior enough to do so.

The key is to FORCE the GOP-E to allow for an OPEN Convention in Tampa. Without an OPEN Convention the SOS of INSANE Federal Over-Spending will keep America on the same crowded track with Greece, and Kalifornia.

There are over 15, 000, 000, 000, 000 reasons why spending more money this year than was taken in during the previous year is an INSANE path to financial destruction.

Neither Obama or Romney have presented a plan to spend our Federal dollars in a non-insane manner.

For example, the GOP Elite have stood in line to endorse Romney, to endorse “The Ryan Budget,” and to compromise-away every opportunity to reduce Federal Spending.

I included the Ryan Budget, because Rep. Paul Ryan himself says that his “Budget” will balance in 30 YEARS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BTW, I added those exclamation points, because both you and I know that Ryan’s budget will NEVER balance, and thus will never be a fact. The exclamation points are just for volume emphasis.

______________________

The main point of my post is as follows: In order to DUMP ROMNEY there must be an OPEN, or “Bartered” Convention.

Ron Paul, Santorum and Newt are our best hopes to achieve an OPEN Convention because they have the most Delegates to force the Romney Delegates to approve of an OPEN Convention.

Since RP is the only active Candidate left standing, he has the best chance of forcing the RNC to have an OPEN Convention in Tampa.

With an OPEN Convention, NONE of the Primary Candidates stand a chance of becoming the Nominee, except Romney.

That possibility must be countered by a stellar Dark Horse, that is someone that has not run in this years Primary Campaign.

Otherwise Romney will follow the same stupid path as McCain and lose to Obama “much to the surprise of the GOP-E.”

Ron Paul, Santorum and Newt were rejected by Primary voters, and would be re-soundly rejected by the voters in the National Election. Thus, their main value is to force an OPEN Convention.

The Convention Delegates then would have a chance to choose a Nominee who could easily defeat Obama.

I had earlier supported R-Sc Sen. Jim DeMint, but he will not leave the Senate. Now I support R-Fla. Rep. Allen West. Rep. Allen West is a retired US Army Colonel, straight-talking Conservative, AND is the only non-welcome member of the Congressional Black Caucus, (the Libs hate him).

There are many other Republican non-RINO Dark Horses who would make excellent Dark Horse Nominees.

The DUMP ROMNEY Campaign requires an OPEN or “Bartered” Convention in Tampa.

Make your voice and vote count towards an OPEN Convention in Tampa, Florida!

BTW, Nominee Allen West WOULD be Florida’s favorite son in November - - - .
