Way ahead of me? In your dreams! I was telling FReepers in 1999 that Bush would be a terrible president and that he was not a conservative. Also Beck is, IMHO, either a self serving phony. Or highly unstable man with no core principles. I pay no attention to anything Beck has to say. I like the Tea Party and Sarah Palin. I also liked a lot of what Ron Paul had to say but he loses me on foreign policy. Time for lunch, see you later. If I thought I could trust Newt I could have supported him last time. Newt has a great mind, he just changes it to often.

Yes, but you think you’re the only one, and your making the absurd conflation between Bush and Tea Party Republicans today. Your points are valid, your math is awful.

So was Jim Rob, so was I.

W was the “hold your nose and vote” candidate, just like his father.

It's the story of our life here.
