The RINO Establishment doesn’t care if it’s BamBam, Mittens or Whoever Else keeps their perks/power in place. That’s really what it comes down to.

It almost makes me believe this is why they’re pushing Romney down our throats.... They either know he’s a loser, or we get BamBam for another 4 years.... Either way, they don’t give a shiite.

To God be the glory, great things He has done;
So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,
And opened the life gate that all may go in.

“You know, I don’t think there exists any disparaging names for Cain supporters from the Perry side.”

Nor should there be.

>>Oh, he’s not going to name names. Later in the thread, he says that he ‘suspects’ that there are Romney supporters pretending to be for Cain.

He’s going to dig through the pro-Cain people, then report the ‘suspects’ to Jim if/when he finds them.

Isn’t it nice that we have him to police us?<<

Shield is the one who called opponents of in-state tuition for illegals not only heartless, but "brainless." (See post #130)

“Let our banner proclaim”, Reagan said, and “if there are those who cannot subscribe to these [conservative] principles, then let them go their own way.”

It's hard to believe the Republican party even HAS any of the planks in the platform anymore. It's more like they are on an inflatable, rubber raft that can be puffed up or leaked out whatever way the current is moving. If a man doesn't stand for something, he'll fall for anything! I'd join a true Conservative Party in a heartbeat.

Okay, YOU said this, NOW DEFEND IT.

WHAT 40% DO YOU AGREE WITH ROMNEY ABOUT?

LOL,

Laz, you'll also have to ask WHICH Romney is being agreed with, since he's the Master Flip-Flopper.

Sam, if Romney should squeak out the nomination through our fire wall primary, I just don’t see how he can first of all, but say he does, can a third party be formed during the general election cycle, or are we stuck with write-in?

If only a general election write-in is possible, we should start a campaign against Romney NOW, by promoting a huge write-in campaign. ???

So, 'perrywinkle' is a COMPLIMENT? Well, thanks for clearing that up.... I somehow missed the subtlety of the label.

Did I say “Perrywinkle” was a compliment? I hope not. That’s certainly not how I intended it.

OH. YES. Absolutely. They are holding us hostage. They think. A write-in campaign needs to begin now, as a threat for now but a promise for later.

There is still sufficient time for a third-party candidate to get on the ballot. I'm not sure about the exact time requirements for the deadlines but I know Ross Perot didn't even launch his third party effort until February of 1992. and it wasn't until that September - just weeks before the election - that he finally got certified on all 50 state ballots.

For those who say a third party candidate cannot win, consider that Perot was leading both Bush and Clinton in the polls that summer despite a lot of very bizarre behavior and having his campaign staff get disillusioned with him. He dropped out of the race later that summer and then on October 1, he got back into it. Despite being discredited and a national laughingstock by that time, he still ended up with nearly 20% of the vote which just goes to show you how disgusted many Americans are with our current two-party system. Thus, I think a credible third party candidate (like a Sarah Palin) has a very good chance of winning a general election as a third party candidate.

That said, and before the flames start coming my way, I am still holding out hope that we will put a real conservative (such as Herman Cain) on the Republican ticket this go-around and that a lot more Tea Party conservatives will enter the House and Senate as well. If that happens, we won't need a third party. We will have transformed the Republican Party from within.

I would NOT have to hold my nose to vote for Perry. He is not the answer to all things but no one can possibly be. Romney is not the answer to ANY thing. It’s way too early to count Perry out.

Yeah. I think we perrywinkles get the insult. MY POINT WAS, we on the Perry side have not constructed any insulting tags for Cain supporters (it’s a class thing) to which you replied ‘nor should there be’.

So, who’s supposed to stay classy here, the Perrywinkles or the Cain Supporters?
