FR is not for everyone!
Hell yeah! Let's have some Roast RINO for supper.
Lindsay Graham? I guess I will agree with you just on the basis of his membership in the “Gang of 14” and support of Bank Nationalization(socialism) but he is redeemable he did support Clinton’s impeachment and put his blood and sweat into it, right?
Anyway we will never have the level of conservative policies we desire until we have a larger change in the media. Isn’t obvious they were the larges factor in Obomanations election? Could also use some party discipline where party members could vote to kick people out of the party so as to maintain the purity of our brand and image, no?
FR is like good single malt Scots Whisky
-It’s complex
-It’s strong...often too strong for some!
-It’s misunderstood and feared by the easily-swayed
-It’s absolutely hated by some...and those individuals are determined to force others to share their opinion via large and small attacks on free speech and freedom of choice.
You’re right...it’s not for everyone!
... The governor had nothing to do with these thing? Really!? People just don't seem to get it about Mitt. I don't know why.
Sadly, you have to explain this at least once every year it seems.
Keep up the great work, and thank you for this conservative bastion in an increasingly leftist liberal world!
JimRob’s got the cutlass in his teeth!

Bump!
Until he decided to run for President in 2007, Romney presented himself in public as a lifetime supporter of Roe v Wade; he consistently spoke out that women had a Constitutional right to kill their unborn children in the womb; he supported special rights for homosexuals and pandered for the gay/lesbian vote; he remains a supporter of gun control and limiting the rights of law abiding Americans to purchase and own firearms; he helped design and promote and later signed into law, government mandated and taxpayer subsidized universal healthcare coverage, the first step towards socialized medicine; he supported the $700-billion Bush-Paulson/Obama-Geithner September 2008 TARP bailout of Wall St. robber barons; and lately Romney has been caught praising Obama and even expressing his desire to see Obama succeed with his leftwing agenda of hope and change.
Romney also opposed the two most successful conservative policy endeavors of the last 30 years -— the Reagan conservative policy agenda of the 1980`s and the fiscally conservative policy agenda advanced through Newt Gingrich`s Contract With America in the 1990`s.
Romney's pandering conservative rhetoric for the last few years, shouldn't confuse anyone. Romney is not someone conservatives should be supporting for any elected position. Especially not for President of the USA.
BUMP.
Thank you, Jim, and I’m sorry that you have to keep explaining the difference between a conservative and a Republican.
While Romney is not necessarily at the top of my list for 2012 (especially since we have no idea who the other viable candidates will be at that point), he is ON the list, and my chief reason for that is that he has far more extensive and impressive private sector experience than any other remotely viable candidate I see on the horizon. As someone who would like to see the federal government shrunk to a tiny fraction of its current size, it concerns me greatly that the Republican party seems to consistently offer us candidates who are for all practical purposes lifelong creatures of government. Every problem they see appears to them to have “needs government solution” written all over it, because that’s the only sort of problem-solving they’ve ever been involved with.
Hopefully, highlighting positive aspects like this, of candidates like Romney who are overall far too socialist-leaning to qualify as truly conservative candidates, will help convince the Republican movers and shakers that successful private sector experience should be an important resume item for candidates being groomed and promoted for national office. And when the 2012 nomination is done, if Romney is it, hopefully we can agree that given a choice between Romney and Obama, we’d do better with Romney. At least Romney doesn’t pal around with home-grown America-hating terrorists and racist America-hating preachers.
Perhaps not, but it is for those who long to see resurrected those principles espoused by Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and Ronald Reagan. Is there such a man among us now who reflects what these former leaders stood for? I don't know, but I do know that there is a woman who most certainly does.
Do you consider Huckabee to be a Conservative?
but I would do it again considering the alternative.
as far as Hunter is concerned...he needs to get himself VISIBLE by 2012 if he plans to run. the population at large said WHO!
considering the VISIBILITY of relatively conservative pols, I would have to say Jindal or Palin. Not because they are the best conservatives, but because they have visibility.
Its almost as if Conservatives need an ACORN equivalent...though most conservatives are law abiding citizens so that wouldn't work I suppose.
Thanks you Jim Robinson for a conservative place to hang my hat......
I believe that is the best statement of what many or most of us believe that I have seen on the web.
