“IMHO, anybody that’s breathing can beat this misersble excuse for a human being.”
I agree with that with one exception. The Republican candidate must be able to stand up to the press. That’s why Pawlenty wasn’t qualified to run.
The best candidate would be able to keep the spot light on Obama and his record and not use attention getting devices to bring the spot light to him. I’m not sure if Santorum can do the former and I’m not sure Newt can do the latter.

I didn't wait to be asked! JimRob has less that 500 followers? Come on, FReepers!

When asked why he would choose a washed up general to command his army... Lincoln responded "because he can fight"..... and when reminded that he was a drunk and would put away a quart of whiskey a day. Lincoln again responded... "find out what brand he drinks and ship a case to all my generals".
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you Jim!!! Thank God for Free Republic!
GOOOOOOOOOOOO NEWT!!!
And my own theory is this: America has lost its balls.
Just a matter of semantics, my dear Norm, but as a proud member of the female gender, it is one that I must make, no matter how crude.
Either way, we both reach the same conclusion. :)
Yep, I completely agree. No matter who wins the general it's important we have a conservative majority in congress, more conservative governors, and an attentive and active public. We definitely need that if Obama wins, but we almost need it as much given our presidential candidates.
We do indeed ;)
Just as a thought experiment, imagine for a moment Washington/Franklin, Jackson et all zapped in time to present day 1600 Penn Ave.
Imagine them all hauled away by the Secret service screaming at the crop of gutless wonders that destroyed every idea they ever believed in.
That’s all any voter should really think about really.
“What would the founders have done?”
Problem solved.
As Rush would say, “Right on, right on, right on.”
I stand with both of you. The vitriol that was directed towards Perry and his supporters on this site was unlike anything I have ever seen here. It did no good to hit the abuse button. Didn’t have to draw me a picture, I got it. My opinion wasn’t welcome or respected. I’m not paying good money for that. People I respected for years and who claim to be God fearing Christians spewed nastiness like a scene from The Exorcist. This is not how decent rational human beings treat each other. Then the Freepathon failed to rake in money as expected and there was coincidentally a sudden softening of the attacks on pro-Perry posters as they protested with their closed checkbooks. Finally Perry drops out and it’s all sweetness and light again. Over the years FReepers have rightly damned the morals of Clinton, Edwards, Wiener, etc. then in a sudden about face proclaimed it was okay for Cain and Gingrich to have similar character flaws. Forgiveness and redemption is there for Republicans, but not for Democrats. The hypocrisy and lack of moral consistency here is breathtaking. No surprise that they have now settled on a man of little personal character as their ideal candidate.
Way to go Jim!!!!
“I’m hoping the weather will discourage demrat or unregistered voter spoilers from tainting the result.”
Amen to that!
And thanks for voting.
I’m in!
FYI, the other Texan Paul gets it even worse then Perry.
Amem brother...well said and long over due. I am, as always, with you. Oh and Roger that.
Thank You sir for this wonderful site and community and for your words of wisdom.
I gotta say, this list reminds me of Harvey Korman in Blazing Saddles announcing the types of scalawags he wanted to assemble to attack Rock Ridge.
