All I asked you was why you want Trump as President. If you are selling something you are not doing a good job. If he was going after Treasure Secretary or something maybe, but President? I mean suddenly he is a conservative. He gave money to Harry Reid for his reelection for goodness sake. What is going on with folks on Free Republic suddenly?

Look at this beauty and you believe he is right for the Republican Candidate? I can’t believe people are calling him conservatives.

I take back the “kid” part.
You don’t even have “youthful naivety’ to fall back on as an excuse]

It amuses me no end that you’re right on my heels as far as [chronological] age goes.

[now, intellectuality maturity is a whole ‘nother thing]

In a surprisingly *few* short years, you’ll be as “ancient” as I [and the rest of the “FReeper dinosaurs”] and hopefully, a bit wiser.

:)

And, FYI, I -never- said I *wanted* him as POTUS.

My initial post was _sarcasm_ meant to point out the disparity between him and our current [alleged] POTUS.

I’m sorry for you that you “missed” that.

I’ll aim lower, next time.

In the meanwhile, some of us Ancient Posters will continue to enjoy his public lockjaw-grip on <0’s leg.

“What is going on with folks on Free Republic suddenly?”

An extremely bright, gutsy, high profile, powerful man is bearding the lion cub in his own den by *loudly* asking the questions and making the points that nobody else will touch.

What’s not to like about that?

My post on age was sarcasm meant to be funny about not voting for Reagan. See we are both in the sarcasm mode. Let’s just say Trump will not be President and leave it at that. He has too many problems and can’t figure out which party to send money to so he sends money to everyone. I guess in the overall picture I win since I didn’t want Trump for President and I will be right. Sorry for your loss.

Do you ever use eBay or Craig’s list?

Ship by UPS?

Buy anything at Lowes?
[or a hundred other big stores/businesses]

Go look up their donations.
Every time you make a purchase from any of them, you’re feeding The Beast.

My father taught to me respect my elders.

I would not *ever* make a sarcastic crack about anyone’s age for *any* reason.

His logic was that, one day, *you* will be ‘old’, too.

Perhaps it’s a difference in upbringing.

There are FReepers here much older than I and *much* wiser.

I would never jest or mock their advantage of years.

“I guess in the overall picture I win since I didn’t want Trump for President and I will be right. Sorry for your loss.”

If you were older, you’d be aware of the ‘ancient” Usenet adage:

“Even when you win an internet flame war, you’re still a loser”.

Have a nice day and enjoy your retirement, “old man”.

:)

Isn’t it amazing what you can learn when you read something in its proper, pertinent context instead of instantly going berserk?

I just received a phone call from Hillary and I asked her if she was running for President.

She wouldn't commit one way or the other until I let her know I had a case of Hamms in the balance. She told me to keep it on the QT but admitted that she indeed is running.

Is my case of Hamms on the way or do you want more proof than this?



(I don't have any idea how she got my cell number.)

Hopefully we'll have a good enough field that my toaster doesn't have to run...

Is your toaster eligible?

I respect elders. Anyway, we will have to see what happens when the final Republican Candidate is nominated. I believe regardless of who it is everyone will come around and vote for him or her. Everyone here knows that Obama must go, but I do believe that having “flame wars” at this point is not really that bad as long as everyone comes together when it matters. Have a good one.

And if you read my post I said I would vote for Michele Bachmann if she chooses to run. I don't believe Sarah Palin plans on running and her negativity even amongst conservatives is high. If it came down to Sarah Palin or Michele Bachmann I would support Michele Bachmann. She is the real deal, not that Sarah Palin isn't. But I love that Michele Bachmann tells it like it is, isn't worried about pissing off liberals. The current candidates are all libs.

Now if Michele doesn't run I would vote for Trump over the other RINOS. Trump will go after China, that is what we need. If you watched Fox News this morning Frank Luntz did his thing with the ads. There was an ad I'm sure you've seen where a Chinese guy is talking to students how they conquered America. None of the RINOs currently running or planning on running have even mentioned China.

There will NEVER be a candidate that will be 100% on every issue we support. It doesn't work that way. Michele Bachmann is from Minnesota and a Twins fan. I HATE the Twins but does that make me hate Bachmann? Absolutely not!

I'm not trumpeting RINOS (pun intended) I want to see someone who can win and take on the economy, namely China.

I know that some businessmen contribute to both parties. But Trump contributed over $65,000 MORE to Democrats than to Republicans.

And look at the Democrats he contributed to. Mostly hard left candidates, NOT moderates.

Weak attempt on your part to make excuses for Trump. Care to try again?

Frankly, if I had my druthers, I want DeMint but nobody in the GOP is going care what I want.

As usual, the crossover and same-day voter registrations will pick _our_ candidate, just like they did McLame.

Why the hell that’s even LEGAL is beyond me.

Even here in the Freak State, you vote in YOUR party primary *only* and you bloody well better choose your party affiliation well before.

[this, coming from the state where 70% of Baltimore Dem voters ceased sucking air decades ago]

Frankly, I’m still amazed that, somewhere, there’s a clothing shop that caters to hippos.

“Big & Tall”, sure...but “Short & Wide”?

Who knew?

I like Bachmann too but I really worry that O has “jinxed” any more “first [fill in the blank] president” possibilities for some time.

Freaked out Americans will probably go for the typical “old white guy” again, for weal or woe.

LOL. Nice spin. I assume you do listen to Rush and respect his values/opinions? His has a lot of influence, wouldn’t you say? So why doesn’t his personal life matter? Don’t care wether you voted for Reagan or not, he was President and a Great One. Additionally he was married twice and did a hell of a lot better then the one in office now who has been married only once. So please try again and explain your logic?
