Fox news just reported that Mark Halprin [sic], from Time Magazine, has information that Mitt Romney will be ending his campaign sometime today.
You are making progress...You now ask, instead of stating the non fact. Progress is sometimes one step at a time.
Agreed. I saw the same resignation on Romney’s wife’s face that night.
I was flipping through channels that night, and I thought I saw glimmers of it in Romney's face, as well. So much so that I paused to listen for a bit, and was surprised that it wasn't a concession.
Evangelicals will turn the other cheek, but they are not fools. They will not campaign and vote for a party that will not address their issues. Evangelicals are not like certain groups in the Rodent Party that will do what they are told and take what crumbs are thrown to them.
Hypocritical crybaby or crybaby hypocrite...which is it?
Who?
Who said anything about getting rid of evangelicals...seems like the only ones who have are people like George W Bush and McCain, the former having pandered to them before, and the latter trying to pander to them now...does it feel good when they do? does it validate your Evangelism when they do? I repeat: Dobson could have thrown his weight behind a candidate that would ahve supported a Constitution that has protected Evangelism for 200+ years...instead he had to throw out a vanity opinion...and look what we’ve got now- he’s STILL out there b*tchin and moaning...some evangelism!
Right lets forget the voting record your baseless opinion is all we need...
So are you conceding he is not as liberal as hillary then?
I’m not a loyal Republican. I’m a loyal conservative. So there’s no way I’m voting for McCain.
I’d rather see a Democrat win, which would most likely mean a takeover of Congress by conservative Republicans (as in ‘94 and ‘80) than a liberal RINO with a bad temperment, which would likely mean a loss of even more Republicans in Congress.
Oh, I don’t know. Figure it out.
I am not an Evangelical. Never said I was. I simply understand their position.

Yes, he could have supported Duncan Hunter. To my disappointment, he didn't.
instead he had to throw out a vanity opinion...and look what we’ve got now- he’s STILL out there b*tchin and moaning...some evangelism!
I don't know how that Dobson email about Fred was leaked. If it was intentional, it was wrong. At this point I am inclined to agree with you. He is conducting a war of attrition, much like Rush did, and it backfired big time.
We will have to agree to disagree and pick this up another time.
I have some work to finish.
Nope, won’t bother.
Sincere condolences, Saundra.
I know how you must feel. “;^(
Khepri said
“Explain Huckster and his supporters.
You think he’s going to overcome McCain?.....(smirk)
I stand by what I said.
If Huckster was a fiscal conservative McCain would not be the front runner, inho.”
The Fair Tax is the most ‘conservative’ idea anyone has talked about this whole election, because the IRS, that administers the income tax / withholding, is the most oppressive, intrusive, socialist institution in our country.
Huckabee is an ardent, articulate supporter of the Fair Tax, and I believe he really “gets it”. It is the best hope on the horizon for giving power back to the people, and waking people up to the stranglehold the current tax system has on the people and the economy.
Right now McCain’s just ahead because of name recognition for most voters, and, up to now, splitting the conservative vote in the informed voters who are paying attention.
When most people get to know Mike Huckabee, they like him, and likeability is something we will really need in the fall, against either Hillary or Obama, or a ticket with both on it.
What part about “better off we will BOTH be” did you miss?
Lack of support for Huckaphoney is my argument.
I say again, *IF* he was a fiscal con we’d all be happy and McCain would not be the front runner.
But he’s not. He’s a Nanny-stater. We all lose therefore.
