The fact is, what two CONSENTING ADULTS do in the context of their PRIVATE MARRIAGE is THEIR BUSINESS and NOT YOURS, nor anyone elses.
What part of this do you NOT understand?

I don't have any problem understanding that.
What part of let's have sex in public do you not understand?
That's hardly "PRIVATE", is it?

Pence just sounds stronger on the social side because that’s his campaign schtick. Daniels actually has a state government to run. Besides, now that he has a majority in the state senate as well as the house he can probably bring in Right To Work ~ something that half a century of mostly Conservative control of the legislature has never succeeded in doing.

My apologies...I’m not trying to hijack or divert your thread. I’m simply responding to replies directed at me from a previous reply of mine.

Geri appears to have NOT CONSENTED.

I think that readily disposes of 90% of your argument.

Now, should that be any of our business? All I can say about that is she chose to take it to court.

Morning Joe also had that low-life moderate David Walker of the "Comeback America Initiative" and "American Elect." They are pushing for a non-Romney 3rd party moderate ("This is not a right-left issue") and are the losers who are polling the internet for a candidate.

Right now, Ron Paul is leading the polling (gee, color me surprised at that)--Obama is 2nd, Huntsman 3rd, Bernie Sanders 4th, Roemer 5th, Gary Johnson 6th, Dennis Kucinich 7th, Al Franken 8th. [I think you see how that's going to go.]

They are all pushing this "brokered convention" so that there will be no strong conservative choice . . . it will be Obama, Mitt or worse, and someone like Paul or Huntsman--thus assuring the reelection of Obama.

Rush is right, these establishment slimes really do think that everything is basically fine. They preach fiscal restraint, but everything they are doing is to maintain the status quo. This Walker and the "Americans Elect" movement are emphatic about fiscal restraint, but everything they are doing will assure Obama's reelection.

The Illinois GOP isn't particularly lacking in backbone ~ their problem is LACK OF NUMBERS.

The Democrats in Cook County control the state legislature.

Unless you can figure out some way to depopulate Cook County it will continue to be that way into the indefinite future.

Yes everyone should be careful what they wish for when talking about a brokered convention. Brokered being code for smoke filled backroom.

Personally I think after Santorum drops out momentum will start to swing toward either Newt or Willard and one of them will get a clear majority of delegates. I’m hoping its Newt.

Why do you think a brokered convention will favor a RINO GOP candidate?

IMHO, the convention may be an opportunity for Red State conservatives to wrest the national RINO-led GOP from its demrat controllers.

They’re not just going to pay people to vote, check out this story from “The Iowa Republican,” Former Obama Staffer Busted for Stealing Iowa Secretary of State’s Identity.

Now that you've gone BACK to the liberal lamestream media lie after previously admitting IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, I'm done discussing with you. Your inability to keep the FACTS straight has made this exchange pointless.

Geri appears to have NOT CONSENTED.

And it DIDN'T Happen.

That effectively eliminates your argument.

When you run away from your candidate at the first sign of trouble, what do you call it?

Any REASONABLE person would call it lack of backbone.

The rest of your post (Democrats in Crook County controlling the State legislature) factual as it is, has nothing to do with the discussion at hand.

Yes, the Illinois GOP behaved cravenly with Ryan, with enormous consequences.

The GOP has a bad reputation for not minding their own business, well deserved in this case.

“Unless, of course, the GOP elites secretly want another four years of nobama destroying our country”

By George! I think you’ve got it. The GOP elites absolutely want to keep the status quo.

I have met three Presidents Bush, Bush and Clinton. In fact I was on his Inaugural Committee. Yep military are a big part of that. My point is that I would give up all three to have been able to meet Reagan.

I’d like to think so but I’m not so sure. We’d have a very big fight on our hands with the “it’s his turn” wing.

Bobby Jindahl for Health and Human Services, a cabinet position. He has a PhD. in healthcare policy and I believe he would be the most effective in dismantlying th 0bamacare and putting forth a workable solution. I’d trust him more thn all of the other legislators that signed that piece of crap we have right now. From there, who knows. I’m a big fan of his.

I have worked for (interened for) and known, supported Mr. Pence since near the beginning of his career in Congress-trust me he’s the real deal (and I know his conservative record isn’t 100% but he’s darn close-and a real Reaganite) Mitch Daniels (despite some conservative successes) is NOT a Reagan Conservative like me-or I assume you.
