1996 all over again?
The thing is, Dole in '96 looked more youthful than McCain does now.

Did not see it posted yet, here we go folks!
Mitt is up 19% points here in Colorado. I was going to caucus for Fred next Tuesday, but I'll be there for Romney now, though with less enthusiasm. 46 delegates in Colorado, almost as many as Florida, though it isn't winner take all and is a complicated (and new)system.
Today the Party has become anti-conservative it seems, McCain wilkl do everything in his power to destroy conservatism.
According to news reports, some when they walked in the door to vote.
Keep trying.
Interestingly enough, the man who probably exercised more summary power than any other in the history of the country, Ulysses Grant, had virtually no temper to speak of. No one ever reported having heard Grant swear and Grant himself could never recall having done so.
You bet, and the race is on. Romney vs. the Establishment.
LOL!
“Yes, I’m a Mormon, and it seems like all the Pro-MITT posters are 21 year old missionaries recently returned.. that are going to name their first-born Mitt.
Augh! It’s so embarrassing. If a Mormon was going to run, why not a real conservative.. starting with a Pro-Life conversion from his youth.”
I appreciate you sharing what you said on this forum. As you well know, most of the Mormons here support Mitt, but if this guy wasn’t a Mormon, do you think they would be supporting him? I seriously doubt it. I’m glad you see things for what they are. I have said it several times on various threads, if Mitt had a true consistent record as a conservative (he converted two years ago), I would not care about his Mormonism. I don’t agree with their beliefs, but I don’t at all feel threatened by it. Well, it’s going to be interesting to see who wins the nomination. Whether it’s Mitt or McCain, we’re screwed.
That rant is nuts.
Are we blaming you for Fred losing?
Get a grip.
Well Russia needed a representative government with a free market. Both at the end of WW-I and the end of the Cold War. It didn't get it either time.
There is such a thing as a tipping point, or point of no return. (Or a return after a LONG time). I don't think we are there yet. Ask again after 8 years of Hillary or B. Hussein, or even the loose cannon from Arizona. (At least with McCain, 8 years doesn't seem too likely, but 4 of him followed by 8 of B. Hussein or a political clone thereof is). Assuming those "8"'s don't end in a National Emergency and suspension of elections (and the Constitution, but parts of it are all but suspended anyway) Then we'll see.
...But the difference is that NON of them had their fingers on a nuke botton.
In '06, the 'Rats ran candidates who were to the right of our incumbents in conservative districts.
(A lot of people were unhappy with Republicans because of runaway spending and moral issues.)
Now, we need to find candidates who are to the right of them.
If we do that, we may be able to take back the House.
McCrazy up. Funky ugly tie. Claims he was in the Navy once. He says “Thanks for taking care of my family while I was away—so I could abandon them later for a richer wife.”
Neolibertarian.
I left the party over Dole...came back *against* Kerry...probably end up leaving again.
There will never be a viable third party in America. Your choices are the Republicans or the Democrats. Pick wisely.
1996 all over again?

Why should McLiberal be allowed to choose the next nominee?? Hasn’t he done enough damage?
Today? LOL - that happened the minutes Fred dropped out. There isn't a candidate left that's worth my vote (and none will get it).
Cool map - thanks.
