“Perhaps the elite among us should cease acting like democrats.”
There are elite among us? Who knew?
To: upchuck
Anyone willing to vote for Romney has sold out the conservative movement even if many don’t realize it.

IF there is anything to it (and I believe it’s just media p*ssing into the pot) remember something: this is still politics and even within a Party, deals will be made, usually to the discontent of the members.

“Romney people are really mean, which is not unexpected since most of them are liberals.”

“Right CNN is really worried about the future of the Conservative movement.
When are you people going to stop being the willing foot soldiers of the Democrat propaganda machine?
Maybe you people might finally start fighting the enemies of everything you stand for instead of spending ALL your time shooting your allies in the back.
You people are the useful idiots of the Democrat party.”
Exactly! As you said.

He, ( meaning Romney ), is a Leftist. I disagree. I think that he is a totally unprincipled person who has absolutely no values except making money and using power. He simply wets his finger, sticks it in the air, sees which way the wind is blowing then goes with the flow. Thats what he did in MA and with the birth of the Tea Party he saw the swing to the right and he said, Oops! Gotta change again. That is worse than leftism any day.
Well, I see him as a statist. All too often he sees big government as the solution to problems. I see that as Leftist. I also see it as Socialistic.
I'm not in disagreement that he changes his stance on issues at the drop of a hat. If you want to think of that as more evil than Leftist, I'm not going to give you grief over it.
The guys that are of a Socialist nature have caused much of the world's major problems over time. I believe Mitt leans in that direction. I can't dismiss it as not being as bad as something else. I do believe Mitt is pretty tame by some Socialist/Leftist standards. I still think he is very problematic.
I appreciate your take on it. I still think we share a great many more beliefs concerning this guy than we do differences.
Take care.

What is it about you and pigs, Johnnie? If that is what you think about the rest of us maybe you should go join a mosque where those types of insults are more acceptable.
There are no good guys in this fight for the presidency. It’s a quick death under Obama or a very slow torturous death at the hands of those who call themselves elite. It’s not really a choice. We must find an alternative if we want to survive as human beings and not as you like to be squealing about pigs.

Would have replied sooner but your handle is too dang long. ./
Goats butt things, like tree stumps. Some stumps are tall, some are short. Depending on one’s argument which stump one should butt.
Thank you very much for saying that I make you laugh.

Our group, the Mansfield North Central Ohio Tea Party threw out 2 people from the Romney campaign out of our meeting last week.
They showed up uninvited and thought we were going to let them waltz right up to the mic and speak.
We made it clear to them that we don’t work for the Romney campaign or the GOP. They asked, “Is this because of your 501 c 3 status?”
I told them we are not a 501 c 3 group and that the reason is because Romney isn’t a Conservative and we ONLY BACK CONSERVATIVES.

The Communism News Network is in the tank for Obama, i don’t really see much value in reading what they spew except to rebuttle it.

You can always copy/paste it. :-)
Thank you for the laughs. Sheesh! Now I’m laughing again.

totally agree - big bunch of Freepers have formed themselves into a circular firing squad.
It's getting old.
Hard to tell which are just too full of themselves and their ‘conscience’ and which are sleeper trolls
