To All:
The events of the last 24 hours illustrate why I'm not a Republican. I'm tired of being expected to defend the indefensible and stupid actions of Republicans.
I'm somebody totally different. I'm an Independent Conservative. I don't shoot myself in the foot, head, butt, or leg on purpose.
With Rep. Todd Akin saying something totally insane and suicidal politically, the RNC Platform committee backs him up with the most egregious plank I can think of.
Ryan and Romney, it can be argued, agree with Akin and the RNC platform. Very easy to demagogue and to change the subject away from jobs and the economy.
Memo to hard right-wing anti-abortion no matter what Republicans, this election isn't about you! Not this time!
Republicans are just as stupid as Bill Mahre, Chris Matthews, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, and CBS says they are.
Why can't the Republicans act smart and go win an election that's rightfully theirs? All they have to do is not screw up.
This election is about the following: Jobs Developing domestic energy independence The economy Cutting spending Reducing the size of government Cutting spending Lower Taxes Stop Illegal immigration and voter fraud Standing with Israel The next man who will replace at least two Supreme Court Justices Protecting the Second Amendment
The RNC needs to back way off the abortion issue. Quit supplying daily options to the Obama campaign to change the subject away from their own record.
Obama is playing Republicans like a Stradivarius. Republicans have ADHD and simply cannot focus on the goal long enough to win.
It's no longer about the obvious bias of the left-wing lame-stream media. It's about irresponsible republicans that I don't think really want to win. They're in this for themselves and they're own power.
I will vote Republican as I always do. I now feel that we have lost our chance of retaking the Senate by now losing Missouri and I also think Romney will lose due to a backlash on stupidity, which the Republicans are surely guilty.
Please tell me why I'm wrong, if you think you have a better argument.
Regards to all.
Wow. You’ve never even read it, have you.
Go read Amendment the 5th, moron.
The Supreme Court is definately on your side in this debat over the 5th amendment and the death penalty. But, I found other morons that share my interpretation of the 5th.
It was all interesting reading. Ill concede the weight of opinion is on your side but hold to my position.
Morons quite frequently prefer the company of other morons. I’d day you’re in good company, but you’re not. You’ve chosen to surround yourself with morons. And you’ve done it of your own free will.
You are an abrasive sort. To make you feel even more disagreeable and grumpy, I usually end up being way ahead of the curve, my positions becoming the status quo. On this issue, then, that will leave you only to complain about it to sooth your frustration.
Thank you. I've worked hard to become so.
There's a word for people like you who consider themselves ahead of the curve. That word is "progressive" and it is the antithesis of a conservative.
If you are OK with murdering babies in the womb, you are not a conservative.
Public hanging improve the moral and disposition of the citizenry.
mitt is out on the campaign trail cheerleading Romneycare, and yet your problem is with Akin?
You are not a serious person. Actually every election IS about the individual conscience of the voter. Or are you arguing for collectivism? I know that Akin isn't. But mitt is.
Every four years, some screeching nancy comes out and plays the fearmongering game complete with flailing arms. And Conservatives see their issues pushed to the side, the GOPers push an agenda to be liked by the media, and they never are, and then the RINO loses another election and the GOPers so desperate to be liked by Hollywood can't figure out why.
So now when a GOPer comes out screaming that it's the end of the world if we vote against abortion, all I can say is - "Not this time!"
I will vote Republican as I always do.
Does not compute.
Akin should have stuck to the economy and limited any Rape/Abortion questions by asking whether any child conceived through rape should be tracked down and slaughtered.
Oh, I'm as conservative as conservative can be, I assure you. On the death penalty, my view is a conservative postion. Your's is a Republican one.
What evidence do you have that I’m okay with murdering babies? If you took the time to read my other posts you would know that I am against abortion but this election will be won by Republicans on the basis of a better economy and jobs outlook, not abortion. The Democrats have learned not to run on gun control because they always lose elections when they do. It’s called playing to your strengths. You are way too sanctimonious in your name calling and you illustrate why I’m a conservative and not a Republican. If Republicans are at least as smart as Democrats, as they insist they are, then they should be able to learn this simple lesson and move on to victory.
Let’s review those in favor of the death penalty:
Thomas Jefferson: check
John Adams: check
James Madison: check
On your side, well...there’s you. So on one side we have the guys who actually wrote the Constitution. On the other, you and your Progressive pals.
You lose, again.
I wasnt trying to win. Been on FR a long time and every so often you run into people who think this is a place to fight. It is a place for conservatives to discuss issues and strenghten the conservative movement. Ive watched combative people like you turn people off and drive them away from this forum. Your liitle shots dont land on me. I would laugh at you but it is sad what your type does to erode the quality of this forum.
