Sorry but my hiking days are limited to taking the garbage out. But, I definitely enjoyed the beauty of the area and the wonderful people that live there.

Simplify and flatten, the tax code and you remove the single biggest source of corruption in our political system. The Federal Tax code.

Spot on MNJ. I wonder what kind of lobby the tax attorneys, and cpas have ? And how many millions of cpas are there.

Beyond that, the man believes in manmade global warming, he refused to have NJ join the state’s lawsuit against Obamacare, he’s got questionable stands on the second ammendment and most damning of all, at least to this Delawarian, when our state was struggling against the slams and hurts of our own political party to get that RINO Mike Castle out of power....CHRISTIE ENDORSED THE MAN!

Thank you for the excellent list of many of Christie's shortcomings for national office. I was desperately hoping he would have the sense NOT to get in the race. (Fat chance on sense--he's going after the people who ran Giuliani's magnificent campaign.)

However, if he is challenged on those points plus his appointing a Muslim judge, supporting the Victory Mosque at Ground Zero, etc., he'll be out in two debates MAX! Although I think he would come in with a pretty high number because of people who only know of his terrific handling of union teachers and other super left fools. He'll drop like a rock when the rest comes out.

Hopefully that will show the Establishment hacks that they're not calling our shots anymore.

[rodguy911]

You have hit on how the regime works. We get Solyndra, Gunwalker and "pass that bill", all pertinent topics while Bernanke spends all the gold we have and then some.

The difference between the topics,survival of the country vs. issues intended to divert our attention.

[Alas Babylon!]

Unbelievable!

I don’t know why. I don’t think she’s a sellout as much as she’s lost her way.

[bray]

Focus on the task at hand. Much of the invective posts are from people inside the campaigns in one form or fashion. Most FReepers and all Repubs should respect all the candidates on the Conservative side.

I am working on this special election and completely ignore the individual candidates and am focused on winning this election.

Pray for America

[PaleoBob]

Coulter has gotten comfortable doing the GMA circuit and doesn’t want to have to defend true Conservatives. Harry Smith will accept Christie over Palin or Cain so she keeps her credentials.

Question is, who is going to read her books now?

Pray for America

I just finished reading Demonic. Excellent.

We have to accept the fact that some on our side are just lousy at picking candidates. How else did we end up with Dole, Ford or McCain.

None of the brilliance about Coulter’s great book Treason, for instance, is negated by her inexplicably picking Romney or Christie. Not one word of the overarching truth about the liberal smears in her column just this week is made less true because she herself favors a lib for president.

Coulter is a writer and an on-air pundit/humorist. No one is perfect and she is particularly lame at picking candidates. But many of her books have been ESSENTIAL reading these past years.

(Hey. Everyone has a weak spot somewhere. I can’t hit the curveball to save myself. But donchu be thinking you can get the smoke past me!)

[rodguy911]

Good post however we have to do more that simply shrug off the racist charges. We have to throw it back into the faces of the regime and let them know we are aware of the con they have been perpetuating on us and let them know it won’t work and will backfire on them.

[bray]

We want Christie in to split the Mitt Rino vote. More the merrier.

Pray for America

[Lazamataz]

Question is, who is going to read her books now?

Establishment Republicans, I would expect.

[FreedBird]

McCain’s comments are predictable. He is starved for attention.

[Lazamataz]

Unbelievable! I don’t know why. I don’t think she’s a sellout as much as she’s lost her way.

Yeah, I know, Alas. It was a weird moment to hear that. I walked outta the den, I'm cleaning the house for a houseguest later. So, I walk by, and there, big as life, she utters that line.

I froze.

I knew she didn't just say that.

She confirmed it.

I calmly went back into the den, retrieved a large caliber glock, and then, I shot my television.

[who knows what evil?]

Just getting back from Pigeon Forge,Sevierville and Gatlinburg,Tenn. where I was pleasantly surprised that civility, Christianity and good will among men are still alive.

EAST Tennessee bump!

[PaleoBob]

We want Christie in to split the Mitt Rino vote. More the merrier.

Exactly, And who isn’t so sick of the Christie blather at this point that they haven’t echoed Mark Levin’s taunt when he said, “OK, fat man, get in the race and let’s see you crash and burn.”

(Well, I paraphrase.)

[chiller]

I'd vote for Romney, I'd vote for ANY Republican (maybe even Paul if I was forced)

My comfort comes from the belief that we will elect so many more tea partiers that it will make no difference who is Pres. WE WILL LEAD THEM.

It's already happening to a degree.

With a Cain, Palin, Santorum, Bachmann we could relax, With a Romney, Perry, Christie, Gingrich they'd be kept on the straight and narrow by the House of Reps, and maybe even a new senate in Rep. control. They all have a conservative side to them.

Whomever we feel will beat Obama ! ...who, btw, I've come to see as nothing more than a professional money launderer.

Perusing that roster, I see one hell of a cabinet and new adminstration.

[rodguy911]

That is the big question at this point in the game will she or won't she run? I don't know anyone who has the answer. We do know that the official deadline for several states is the end of October. So some time this month we should know.

Don't get upset FR has always had a wide variety of posters.I pick my threads.As you know your wisdom is always needed here.

[stocksthatgoup]

HOW MANY FRIGGIN’ TIMES McCain is on the Sunday shows?
A day without McCain is like a day without Lindsey Grahm.

[MNJohnnie]

Again, here is why your political agenda never goes anywhere Tom. You continually want to address symptoms, not the disease.

Out of control spending is a by production of our corrupt tax code. It creates the illusion that "government benefits" are paid by someone else plus creates the need for massive lobbying that corrupts the political system. Because Congress can always reward or punish via that tax code. Special Interest groups continually pump billions $ into lobbying DC for tax code favors.

9-9-9 elminitate that power.

[bray]

Understood, but I checked out Demonic from the library and then heard her call Palin supporters Demonic and cultish and took it back without reading it. We are anything but worshipers of Palin.

How can someone turn on her own fans over her pick? Her laughing at us with Ingrahm was the final straw.

[rodguy911]

Hey Sal,you just had to dot it:

Fat chance

Up until then I had not spilled any coffee....
