We Conservatives are sure looking for a secular savior; just like the Libs got the last two presidential elections.

I hope the pendulum doesn’t swing TOO far to the right next election!

FMDJ I would be honored if you would do me the kindness of adding me to your "posse."

I believe that Blackelk will be good enough to vouch for my bonifides.

FA I went along to gbet along and voted for Dole, McLame, and Mittens (The last two I actually voted for the under ticket).

I will not vote for a RINO again. The GOP can kiss my lily white still overly butt, if they think I will support those pathetic excuses for candidates again.

I never used to advocate "going Galt" before, but there are more and more people like me that have the same idea: "Screw it let the system collapse and we will pick up the pieces and start over from scratch, if necessary."

One person whom I wish had his own show is Pat Cadell, who is one of the most intelligent folks out there.

Agreed. He understood, better than all of the other candidates, how to deal with the then new expanded primary system under McGovern rules. That was also the last election cycle where Uncommitted was a popular choice (winning Iowa), and I instructed my registered Democrat mother to vote for Uncommitted in Connecticut as Ellen McCormick wasn't on the ballot.

Ted Kennedy's strategy of waiting for a deadlocked convention and being coronated would not materialize, nor would Brown's or Church's late entries derail the JC momentum (hmm, both those guys have chicken chain's named after them.) Either Henry Jackson or Jerry Brown could have won that nomination with Pat Caddell running the show.

Heh, well, I don’t have a “posse”, per se (or official ping list). Just some like-minded folks. I probably should assemble something since I’m accidentally forgetting someone... :-\

It would’ve been a curiosity if Scoop Jackson had won in 1976. Ultimately, though, he would’ve been dragged further to the left with a rapidly radicalizing party in the wake of Watergate (hence, probably only marginally better than Carter, perhaps stronger on foreign policy). He also wouldn’t have survived two terms, as he died in 1983 (perhaps earlier under a high-stress job).

Jerry Brown would’ve been a predictable fiasco as a hard-leftist true believer. Just as an observation, had he won in 1976, it would’ve elevated Black leftist Mervyn Dymally to the CA Governorship. He almost certainly would’ve lost in 1978 (as it was, Dymally lost to Mike Curb, the last Republican to win the Lt Governor’s office. Curb had some fun during Brown’s 2nd term).

...neither I nor any conservative OWE our vote to the corrupt ruling class GOPE or Demonrats in Republican drag. If the GOP wants my vote and that of an increasing number of FED UP conservatives, it will have to earn those votes the old-fashioned way by nominating candidates worth voting for.

THAT is the bottom line for me, and for an increasing number of Americans. I've held my nose and voted for the establishment's quisling candidate for the very last time. No more.

If that means the traitor side wins, so be it. They'll only bring on the inevitable showdown that much sooner. It's a fight we badly need to have in this country. I'm sick of the political dancing. We conservatives and patriots are only losing ground every day that we continue to play along with their pointless exercise.

What we're doing here, is similar to the never-ending Middle East "peace process". In the decades that America and the U.N. have bullied Israel into making "peace" with the bearded savages on their borders, the strength and threat of the muslim jihad has only grown worse and more deadly. Israel hasn't benefited from the "peace process", but the muslim jihad sure has.

Just as the Israelis have erred in allowing the cancer on their doorstep to grow, so have we Americans erred in not ruthlessly stomping out the invasive leftist cancer that now threatens to undo everything our ancestors worked and died to bequeath to us.

The political process in this country is dead. What remains of it is just a sham intended to give the appearance that we still have a functioning civil system in place. The present game is rigged to produce the elites' desired outcome, no matter which party wins -- which is why so many of us are revolting against the GOPe's nominees and incumbents. They're playing us for fools, and are asking us to support them in their naked quest to out-liberal the liberals -- shredding the very fabric of this nation in the process.

Sorry, but I won't support that. Not now, not ever. I'd rather the whole thing fell apart and AmRev II started.

Phooey. I missed the “Authority”. You know— the one who said to fmdj, “as usual, I was right”. LOL! (What an adolescent.)

The quietest zot ever! Thank you very much for the ping.

Fieldmarshall, you were a class act and the kid self destructs over it. A fine job, dj.

Thanks...

I gotta say I loved when he definitively stated how Willard won Southern NH, I point out he carried precisely ONE of the 6 Southernmost counties and he makes that exclamation about being right “as usual.” I remember reading that reply after I dug up the data on the counties, which he obviously didn’t even look at, and thinking, “WTH ?”

Sometimes you gotta listen to your gut when you’re wondering if a person just misunderstood or if they’re off their meds. That post was the giveaway he was a floor away from Karl Childers.

I glanced at some of his older posts, and he looked to me like a senile dingbat with serious hatred for Southerners (and Ted Cruz). The old school racist slur against Sen. Cruz (since removed) showed he definitely was not playing with a full deck — and this after he lectured me about being “close minded.” Wow !

It’s amazing that crank lasted 4 years here without getting the boot earlier... (hopefully it was a permanent ZOT and not a suspension, since he is bats).

Wow, you read a nine-paragraph explanation from a theologian about how choosing to reduce evil is choosing to increase good, and you reply with some unthinking bromide. Sorry for having attempted to start an intelligent conversation.

Elsie is a noted anti-Catholic. And this was actually one of his more intelligent and well though our responses.

Permanent zot should work for him, but there was certainly no zotting fire and smoke with this incineration was there? LOL! It was a great read while it lasted. What a thread, dj!

Heck, I went to bed, he went bye-bye. If only there was a little camera mounted in the computer rooms of the ZOTTies, just to see their reaction at getting banned... priceless.

Wasn’t Mike Curb the Lt. Gov. whose mere presence forced Brown to think twice before leaving CA, lest Curb take advantage of Brown’s absence from the state and veto pending laws, make appointments, issue executive orders, etc.?

Michael Curb was a Mexican-American conservative Republican elected to statewide office in California. Looking at it from the viewpoint of 2014, there would be like 5 things wrong with that sentence.

RE:” I get the impression he was a DU troll or one of the other sites that trolls us daily. They’ve got nothing better to do.”

Its possible
but he sounds like one of the many in GOP who think that Dole, McCain, Romney, Bush, Christie, ... are the best candidates and would make the best POTUSes if elected.

I know them here in real life. I recall this one coworker lecturing me in 1996 on how Dole was such a great candidate.

And she disses the LDS Mormon church too, the only true religion.

IF Joseph Smith, Jr. hadn't found those Golden plates we would still be living in caves sacrificing our children.

He paved the way for Judism and Christianity.

Better yet I love those white blond haired LDS Stepford-like wives. They keep their wimmin under control.

HMMMmmm...

I fail to see how this relates to this thread; but I am pleased to see that I am noted; even though my beef is with CatholicISM instead of Catholics; whom I love like brothers.

Yes; brothers, though they claim separation, wondering why I do not wish to carry the albatross of extra-biblical teachings around my neck.

There is a whiney group of folks on FR that claim I am a noted HATED! anti-Mormon.

An appellation which I'll have to accept; for Mormons are ALWAYS right...
