That’s an interesting graphic. What is going on in the sky there?

Thanks for going easy on me; I remember now how loyal you are to El Rushbo.

I’m part of the MonSter club too, and I’ve watched her videos on youtube and have been really impressed. Also, like Cavtuo’s attitude. On http://www.faceofms.org he has three segments that are really wonderful (you can sort the stories alphabetically and find Cavutos.)

The primary process is lame beyond belief.
In Washington, it’s half-caucus, half-primary.
Too ridiculous, but I think it’s rigged in a way that the PTB have the final say.

Of course. What people don't understand is that our only chance of holding the White House was going with Romney, who, like Reagan in 1976, could have run against Washington (and could have made the Clintons the "incumbent").

We have no such luxury with McCain the ultimate insider and a sure loser in November.

You can be assured that conservatives, and yes, countless Republicans across the nation where primaries are yet to be held are furious and raging that the GOP candidate has been annointed before they ever had a chance to vote

I've been a FredHead from the day I heard his name mentioned and it was a pleasure and an honor to vote for him in the Iowa caucuses, but I have to agree.

It seems RAMPANTLY unfair to the rest of the country that their primary votes are now pretty much worthless because some have dropped out, leaving the worst of the lot still running for them to pick from.

We need to come up with a same day system for both parties with no party crossing and electors bound to elect who they've been elected to vote for.

We need a simple and foolproof system so that everyone's vote counts.

Registered Liberal Democrats that lean Conservative on issues which they will support McCain.. Mainly Defense and War on Terror issues but he wins some fiscal minded liberals too..

You know like (D) Lieberman.

Nana is determined to skip the freight train to Purgatory in exchange for the express train to Hell.

I’ve never seen such vile nonsense from any freeper in my 7 years here.

I salute him, too. He did his best .. going so far as to nearly if not actually violate his own policy about not endorsing during the primaries.

It’s the sheeple .. and the narrow-minded, sanctimonius single-issue and identity politics voters .. MANY on this thread .. and sickeningly these days on FR: on so many others .. who have wrought this angst-filled day.

But, there’s a reason for it all .. we shall find out at the right time.

John McCain has become a patsy for the Clintons and he does appear to think he can out Clinton the Clintons.... we shall seee how lily white McCain sheets have been.... any hair, ‘you know’ like that blue stained dress has been stored away for appropriate forensics exposure.

” Mitt said he was wrong in his abortion stance and has since changed his mind. I would think that “christians” of all people would forgive and forget and have given him a chance.”

Too little, too late. By the way, the issue was not only about abortion, but I’m not gonna go through all the issues again. Mitt is out and now we move on. And one more thing. Sure, we forgive, we may or may not forget, but like the great Ronald Reagan once said, “Trust, but verify”. We haven’t had an opportunity to verify whether or not Mitt would be the kind of conservative he said he’d be, opposite of what his record is. Now, four years from now, I am willing to reevaluate Mitt and see if he really IS the conservative he said he’s become. If he is, and if he runs again, I most likely will support him.

They are more than getting on my nerves. I've cut down my freeping by 50% since the search-and-destroy wolf pack charged into this forum a number of weeks ago.

If I want to ingest pure poison on every political thread posted, I'd go to the medicine cabinet and see what's available.

This is not good for FR in the short or long run.....take my seasoned word for it.

“suspending” his race, right up to the end of his speech.


Heard this on Fox: If he suspends, he can continue to get donations to pay his campaign expenses. If he “quits”, he can’t.

"However, if Obama gets the nod, I’m starting to think that is waaaaay to dangerous to let happen.. Hilde we could probably survive for 4 years - i’m not so certain about Barack."

To be honest, I don't know very much about Obama other than he is a good speaker and a Democrat. I've been wondering if his inexperience would make him more 'manageable' by senior Republicans?

Romney should be the VP but I doubt McCain will assent. Like Ford’s unwillingness to choose Reagan, mcCain would rather lose.

I don’t think Romney should lower himself even if he was offered the spot. He needs to continue to work on his conservative credentials and serve America so he can run in 2012.

He needs to stay far away from the upcoming McCain train wreck or it will tarnish him as a liberal FOREVER!

I think Newt Gingrich would make an excellent VP been sayin so for quite sometime... He would unite the party especailly if its Hillbillary on the other side...
