Not worth a zot

So do I.
But I also think
Less RINO than Juan McC. (such as on matters of restricting free speech)
and therefore a step in the right direction, even if (far) less so than Newt or Herman or Michelle.
Not worth a zot

You'll have to do better than that.
In the meantime, if Republicans do as well as they did in the last two Presidential races we are short 10 million votes of beating Obama.
He's plush. Not only that, the people on his team who are disappointed in him say they won't vote for him, but they're not saying they'll vote for a Republican.
That is very serious.
What's going on here is the GOP-e has known for four years that our Presidential vote totals have been declining and that Obama broke all records.
If he does as well, we lose. He has to lose 15% of his last vote total to get down in the territory where Republican votes are located.
The only way to overcome that is to have a really bright, sparkling, charismatic candidate who attracts people.
Just "thinking hard" at a problem isn't going to elicit a positive response out of the crowd who voted for Obama the first time.
Again, with a 15% loss in votes Obama still beats our guy. If you really cared about winning the election you'd come up with something.
BTW, the shadow of the Spring non-Primary in Virginia continues. We had exceeding light turnout yesterday and there were 5 contested House seats and a Senate seat at stake. Ordinarily you'd get folks out ~ this time they got what seems to be the same old same old. Keep that up and this Fall Republicans will lose everything in Virginia.
Tell your little buddy over there who works for Bolling on these matters that it is dangerous to discourage voting. People will make it a habit!
You’re welcome. There are a lot of people that really care about FR and are dismayed by what it has become.
Be assured though, the Flying Freeper Taliban Imams will be here any minute to dice you up ......
Thank you for your post. There are many that feel the same as you. During the primaries, it was getting really boring here, as there was really no discussion of substance which I as a fairly new FReeper had come to expect of this site. It was flaming against Romney and Mormonism 24/7 and vicious, virulent attacks against anyone supporting Romney. But don’t give up. Don’t go anywhere. Stay and work to unite bc we have a lot of work to do to get the real community jihadist creep out of the WH and the only possible way to do it is w/ Romney.
You were almost making sense up to that point.
Back to Kolob with you.
That was where he started to lose me too, but you have to expect a Mormon to be a Mormon. That's why I object to this "back to Kolob" jibe of yours. A Mormon is going to be a Mormon. In the meantime we have a country to save from the impending disaster that has been brought about by sixty-plus years of collectivist subversion. Can't we who want to patch and right the ship stop fighting among ourselves for long enough to stop it from going under and drowning us all? Especially since there are so many (non-Mormon) Americans and others that continue to punch new holes in the hull below the waterline?
I've tried saying this before but unfortunately, some care more about theological differences that have absolutely nothing to do with the Constitutional role of government. I'll tell you what I usually tell everyone, this too will pass.
You lie.
Splendid post. You say what many of us feel. I don’t judge anyone by their religion, it is above my pay grade.,
Are you claiming that none of the virulence directed toward Romney and his supporters is rooted in antipathy toward Mormonism?
Really?
There, more objective discussion about elections ~ it's hard to win when people who are supposed to be on your side are actually pursuing a private agenda that has nothing to do with the needs of the nation.
You are one of the worst offenders in this game of stiffling discussion.
I have a paper prepared demonstrating that you are a troll ~ no need to post it. Satisfies me that you have a problem.
BTW, calling me a liar is to engage in a personal attack. Please stop it.
You really do have to rehabilitate his reputation here.
I consider myself insular & feral. But I too am troubled by the thought police. I used to be addicted to FR. Now I just check in from time to time for old time sake.
I too for most of my life. I then moved abroad and live(ed) and work(ed) amongst those of the Islam faith. Hell yes. I judge "some" by their religion!
Why? Because even though they smile, say hi. act "normal" to a degree, they wish deep inside that you, I and infidels were dead. Least trustworthy people I have ever met.
Now of course all not bad, all not behave in such a manner, but fundamentally they have been taught and believe the western world is the great evil.
“When I think of Romney, I don’t think mormon. I think Rino. But that’s what we got. Mormon doesn’t even come to mind.”
From a Christian who believes the bible is the inspired word of God, DITTO. Mormonism has nothing to do with my possible decision to not crawl over the broken glass on election day.
So our grandchildren will become apostate? Doubt it ..zot.
