Come on Windflier, you know there is a better way to deal with the Rio. Putting a fence on our side of the river is just giving up more to Mexico than we already are. But I will agree to fence the other side. We push into Mexico and set up a DMZ and tell them if they want it back, come and take it. It’s Mexico, what are they going to do?
I disagree, but with a more conservative Senate and a strong conservative House it is much more likely that the conservative agenda will be advanced than if we have a northeast rino in the White House.
If you are thinking Cain can win the nomination the same would hold true with him as well. I believe Perry's 10 yrs experience makes him a much better candidate. Cain lacks the experience and it is beginning to show. Also, he lacks the organization which is critical in general election.
Did you not see the obvious when people were booing!?
They were booing because it was a Romney audience, duh
Oh you have a philosophical problem with the religion, sorry I thought you were speaking of mormons more generally.
Throwing the base another bone...just like McLame did with Sarah. I won’t be fooled a second time, although I love and support Sarah...but will never, EVER vote McRomney, even with Cain on the ticket.
All true but one thing these debates have highlighted is that they’re all flawed.
Question is which one can beat Obama.
As with most of your posts, this one is incorrect, incomplete, misleading, and dishonest.
Just what I expect from you.
Mitt is a liar and complete fraud. A two-bit political whore who will do or say anything if he thinks it will help him get elected.
There will be NO campaign for Romney on FR:

Try me on this. Go ahead and make my day.
LOL...[kiss..kiss]
I do hope you aren't anxiously waiting for an invitation to associate with us, Mitt-pimp.
She certainly explained her policy positions very well. She knows her materiel and it’s good material. “ <<<
I agree. Just wish she wouldn’t screech as at the end screeching to say something urgent that turns out to be a red herring soundbite. That “one term president” bit. There was no applause due to the disappointment. What a scene she can cause sometimes.
Indiana Forgery Scandal
Just read this on Free Republic tonight. Looks Big. Hope it does not get covered up.
OCD perhaps?
Sure, we've certainly paid for it.
“And you know what I hate about your ilk? You have no clue what you are talking about.”
Your problem is that they know exactly what they are talking about. They are talking about you and your anti-Mormon/anti-Romney propensities. It’s as obvious as the day is long. You ooze anti-Mormon bile. Can’t help yourself. And, then, when you can’t make a cogent argument about this, you resort to name calling “I hate still having to deal with stupid liberals like yourself”. You are the one who is just like a socialist Democrat. Can’t win an argument based on an intellectual debate, hit below the belt with a personal attack. You are being called what you project to the public on FR, a very bigoted person. One calls it like one sees it.
“The mormons I know are the nicest people you will ever meet, such a strange comment, if you are in fact serious.”
If you worship a false god, a false jesus and a false prophet, being “nice” won’t cut it at the White Throne of Judgement.
Bbbut there isn’t any Mormon hate. *rolling eyes* and yeah I’m not a Mormon either.
Thanks for your valuable feedback!
Here’s a question I’m sure you get all the time.
“Can you hold the onions on my burger?”
I think the liberal media wants Romney because they know he would be easy for Obama to defeat. They might also want him because he is the most liberal and the most like Obama. Whichever man wins they get a liberal.
Perry is a lot stronger governor than Bush was. So it’s not accurate to assume they would govern the same.
Ouch...
