“You see, you will NOT get a more conservative party by losing. History has shown that time and again.”

Well, let’s just talk about American history, which they used to teach in the schools.

In 1916, the GOP lost to Wilson when the GOP ran the “progressive” Charles Evan Hughes. Four years later, in 1920, the GOP ran and won with the more conservative Warren Harding.

In 1960, the GOP lost to Kennedy when the GOP nominated and ran Richard Nixon. Four years later, the conservatives gained control of the party and nominated the much more conservative Barry Goldwater.

In 1976, the GOP lost to Carter when the GOP nominated and ran a moderate, Gerald Ford. Four years later, in 1980, the GOP nominated and won with the more conservative Ronald Reagan.

In 1996, the GOP lost to Clinton when the GOP nominated and ran a moderate named Bob Dole. Four years later, in 2000, the GOP nominated and won with the more conservative George W. Bush.

That is what history has shown.

Blah, blah, blah.

We’ve never had a president like Obama.

I was thinking about Jimmy Carter while ago. He was an idiot, an egoist and a fool and did damage to our world-wide image and our economy but it wasn’t because he hated America or had muslim sympathies.

It wasn’t because everyone in his cabinet and circle of appointees was evil and incompetent.

Don’t even go there in comparing Obama to those people you named. Wake up. Grow up.

We’ve got to get rid of Obama.

And everything those Jack Asses did STILL STANDS TO THIS DAY!

We have a Federal Reserve Bank f’ing up the money supply. We have a progressive income tax that eliminates wealth creation and deters progress and work. Thank you President Wilson.

Goldwater LOST in a LANDSLIDE (The largest defeat EVER in history to that point) 58,000+ America boys died for lack of smart leadership in Vietnam and the Great Society was instituted and is STILL DESTROYING THIS COUNTRY SIXTY YEARS LATER! Thank you President Johnson!

Carter won and instituted the Community Reinvestment Act setting an economic time bomb that blew up several years later. 2008 ring a bell?.

Clinton WON TWO TERMS and destroyed the military and set the stage for the 9/11 massacre! Thank you President Clinton, Have A Cigar!

Your entire point is destroyed by a true look at history and the results of Imperial, Liberal, Progressive Jackasses that you see as somehow saving the Republican Party but in all reality just pull them and the country to the Left as they destroy the fabric of American Society.

Without a Republican President and a Republican House and Senate. We will have Universal Death Care. IT HAS PASSED, it is only through blunting the implementation and repealing the legislation BEFORE IT GOES INTO EFFECT IN 2014! If we do not there is NO REVERSING IT! Just like Medicare, Medicaid, The Federal Reserve, The Income tax, and the deaths that occurred on 9/11 and the mountains, jungles and killing fields of South East Asia.

The Future is too important to trust to the hands of a second Obama Administration!
