Might be a good idea to move on....whatever your major beef is you sound like your whinning over spilled milk...not to be offensive ..but time to give it up.

I'm not whining over anything - I've avoided attaching myself too strongly to any one candidate because I've been watching primaries play out for 40 years and have seen too many people get way too caught up in euphoria over any one candidate, only to have their hopes dashed when their candidate flames out or shoots himself in the foot.

One thing has changed with me though this time around - one thing I'm not going to do is support a candidate just because they win the primary. Romney wins it, I'm voting third party. I'm done voting for liberals with (R) next to their name and telling myself it'll get better next time, because it won't. The longer we keep supporting liberals like Romney, the further down the road to socialism we move.

Sooo...that's no skin off your nose, just goes with any race and part of the enjoyment derived from observing and participating with the candidates in the race. You pick your guy and root him on, as well as defend and exhort him. Passion for a candidate and what he stands for is pretty much the American way in our elections...and that's a good thing.

Ricks had the disctinction of wearing his faith on his sleeve but his presentation is very judgemental of other faiths as well as the unchurched. This just evidences he's not groomed enough to draw any more than those as himself, but offending those not. It's been a bad move on his part as Carter did the same thing and we know how that turned out. ...he won but was a disaster for our country.

Perhaps you NEED to pick a candidate and really get passionate about your guy...win or loose it's a race to the finish for our country and many are taking it seriously and why the passions are so high...and should be...there's much at stack.
