“...Can only imagine the crap McCain would have pulled too...”

That being said, I don’t think McCain would have passed McCainCare... Nor do I think he would he have ended DADT and let the deviants openly flaunt it in the military...

He would have been lousy - but I don’t think he’d have been as subversive an asswipe as we currently have.

I could be wrong, though... kinda moot point now.

There was no such thing as a charter school where and when I went to school. We had 40 kids to a classroom and buildings from the 30s built by the WPA and falling apart.

I think they have charter schools in every district and they have waiting lists because there are enough who do want an education that can’t get it with the thugs.

I don’t feel sorry for the kid who won’t / can’t learn. I feel sorry for the kid who is trying to learn and is neglected because of time wasted on kids that are wasted.

Again, nothing will change until there are serious consequences for failure. The pseudo poverty we have now isn’t serious enough. It just creates more dependents.

In the 30’s kids saw other kids go hungry and turn into sticks and get sick and die. The survivors swore they would not let that happen to them or their own. It just scared the hell out of them.

ROTFLMAO!

Do you really believe (as opposed to think) that any topic that involves the activities of Romney is now a forbidden topic?

Seriously?

ROTFLMAO!

Nothing! Romney is forever unacceptable as in Obama.

“o you really believe (as opposed to think) that any topic that involves the activities of Romney is now a forbidden topic? Seriously?”

What I “think” is that Jim Robinson called a “truce” for persons to express an ABO position....Persons that normally would oppose Romney and ONLY support him because of fear of more years of an Obama administration.

However, I have been following his posts. As I understand him, of course I could be wrong, when someone goes beyond merely being ABO to “campaigning” for Romney...that violates Jim Robinson’s declared “truce.”

Many on this thread are spreading “pro-Romney” material, NOT the ABO material Jim Robinson called a “truce” over. I don’t his intentions are to allow “pro-Romney” posts, only Romney is bad, but better than Obama - a true ABO position.

That is what I “think.”

What the abortionist, homosexualist, statist Romney has to say is irrelevant. His record pretty clear, and he is a known serial liar. Just like Obama, when he is talking, there is a 99.99% chance he is lying or misrepresenting the truth.

BTW - What is wrong with Mitt hatred? Seems perfectly the conservative/right way to be.

you are a coward and an infant with running to JR. I asked you for a refutation of the speech on the merits, not a tired worn out diatribe like all of is have heard thousands of times.

I have one goal , oust Obama from office, what is yours?

Do you know if they ever replaced the ‘Plains’ in the White Plains High School margee that were broken in the race riots?

I do not think you are being truthful. You are FOR Romney being in office, NOT just againt Obama being reelected. Also, how is it “cowardly” to let the site owner know that potentially Pro-Romney material is being posted? IF that is NOT the case....why should it even remotely concern you? Sounds to me like someone that knows they have been busted?

My “goal” is to make sure that the RNC gets a VERY CLEAR message that Romney (or future Romney’s) are NO LONGER acceptable candidates for the GOP nomination. IF they want to get my vote for a presidential candidate, they MUST move to the right and put up a “Not Welcome” sign to Romney types. My “goal” is to get a conservative POTUS in 2014. My goal is to get a very conservative Congress in 2012 & 2014. IMO, getting a super majority of conservatives in the House and Senate is MORE important than the POTUS election of 2012.

I also desperately want Obama to be ousted. But, I WILL NOT do so by selling out core values. Romney is NO BETTER THAN OBAMA. The “tired old arguements” about Romney being a liar and swindler ARE TRUE. It doesn’t matter SQUAT what he may say at a particular event...his long term behavior is that of a liar. So, posting material about a particular speech...and praising it, is going beyond a mere ABO position. A true ABO position is about how bad Obama is, NOT about how good Romney is.

When you come up with a credible plan that can get Obama ousted from office I will listen.

Right now there is only one way to do that.

I did not vote for Romney in the primary, he was my last choice. But for now - it is what it is.

So tell me your plan to oust obama?

And grow up BTW. How old are you running to the mods w every post? You think JR has nothing better to do than to monitor your posts?

There is nothing at all Mittens can do to ever sway the ABRs at this point.

I don't believe this. I just about can't stand Romney but he grew on me a little bit yesterday. As for blacks, they're not all crazy. There's a small but significant subset of them who heard Romney yesterday and were moved. On some level they knew his ideas made sense and appreciated that he got up there and made his case sincerely but without pandering. I'm not saying they're going to go out and vote for him but they won't feel as dire a need to vote for Obama.

The same as Jim Robinson. Congress, congress, & congress. Control the House and Senate, and we can oust Obama without having to vote for Romney.

Romney just isn’t a solution, he is part of the GOPe problem.

And if people like yourself depress enough gop voters to stay home guess what happens?

You think there is enough depressed gop voters to make that distinction at that point?

By helping obama get a second term, which you want, it wont matter if we have more seats in the congress

I ask me the plan to oust Obama. Here is what Jim Robinson wrote in a post on another topic that is germane. I’m tired of dealing with sell out sophistry like you keep peddling about Romney. Eveything that follows (unedited) was written by JR:

You either defend life and liberty or you don’t.

I’m sworn to defend it from all enemies foreign and domestic and an oath is forever.

Obama believes in the power of the state. Romney believes in the power of the state. Both have records of abortionism, homosexualism, progressivism, statism. Neither defends the constitution or life and liberty.

Those who line up with either are lining up to give unlimited powers to the state and place severe limitations on liberty and individual freedom.

I’m very sorry to have to report to you, my dear friends, that barring a miracle we pro-life and liberty conservatives have already lost the battle for the presidency. With either one of these two statists in power and with the current frame of mind of the SCOTUS, we have witnessed the end of constitutional government in America.

Our only prayer will be that we elect a majority of constitutionally minded conservatives into a majority of the legislative bodies all across this great land so that we the people can we re-assert our sovereign powers and impeach/recall/expel/fire and otherwise remove, rescind, overturn, repeal, abolish, close down and shutter all the corrupt usurping executives, legislators, judges and their corrupt usurping decrees, acts, amendments, treaties, decisions, departments, agencies, commissions, regulations, etc, and fully restore the constitution, restore the limits on government power and restore our God-given Liberty!!

Short of civil war, that’s how you mend it.

Don’t you think JR has better things to do than to get in the middle of every discussion you are involved in?

I have a five-year-old, who when in her bratty mood, desperately appeals to grown-ups less often than that.

Stop posting Pro-Romney nonsense. You asked for a “plan” and I provided it - quoting the forum owner. Read what JR says again. Stop using FR as a means to facilitate the destruction of the country and conservatism by promoting Romney. Eveything that follows (unedited) was written by JR:

You either defend life and liberty or you don’t.

I’m sworn to defend it from all enemies foreign and domestic and an oath is forever.
