“Is that you Rahm Emmanuel? If they don’t agree with you, they shouldn’t have freedom of speech? Is that you Thomas Menino?”
No, this is a REAL Conservative that is currently a resident of Missouri. This November, I’m focusing on getting rid of McCaskil and getting Hartzler reelected. I will NOT be sucked into ABO sophistry and support Romney in this election. Of course, I will not support Obama either. I will vote third party - a third party vote is NOT a vote for Obama - a vote is a vote. A vote for Romney is just a vote to keep the rule of the GOP Establishment over real conservatives. It is a vote to ever get a Ronald Reagan in office again.
By working hard to increase conservative members of House and Senate in 2012 and more in 2014, will CAN AND WILL put Obama in check. IF Romney gets in office he will lurch left just as he did in Mass. He WILL hurt the chances of conservatism and cause the GOP to lose seats in 2014 and then get another liberal Dem elected in 2016. No, Romney is NOT the answer. Controling the House and Senate is. Then we can get a real conservative elected as POTUS in 2016.
A real Conservative does not suggest someone stop posting if they don’t like the direction this forum is going. A real Conservative appreciates the First Amendment. Your post to Jim Scott sounded a lot like Rahm Emmanuel suggesting that Chick-Fil-A avoid Chicago because he doesn’t like their values. If that’s what real Conservative’s do, then the meaning has changed very drastically.
Debate Mr. Scott on the merits of his argument, but never suggest that someone stop posting and move on...that’s DU territory, that’s Rahm Emmanuel.
Funniest thing I've read here all night. Convince people not to Vote the top of the Ticket so Obama waltzes back into power for another four years and they will magically show up for all the down ballot Republican Candidates.
FR Posters might do that, but the average Joe will stay home and watch American Idol. Obviously a winning strategy.
Oh yeah, unless we get a 2/3rd’s Majority in the House and Senate, Obama will Veto anything the Republicans push through, including repealing Obamacare. Then we have to deal with Obama’s three SCOTUS picks. Yep, sounds like the right move to preserve the Republic.
Well, back to the Cars, Dogs, Guns and Kitten Threads for me. Don't want to upset anyone lurking or Posting here.
If the current occupant of the White Hut actually respected the Constitution and the doctrine of separation of powers, I’d agree with you. But Obama has already shown that he doesn’t give a flying damn about Congress. You could have 3/4 majorities in both the House and the Senate AND a solidly conservative Supreme Court and given the current spinelessness of Republicans in leadership positions, he’d STILL just go his merry way and pass whatever laws he wanted by executive orders.
If Obama gets back in office, he appoints Supreme Court justices (assuming the probability that at least one dies or retires in the next four years) and flips the court from conservative to liberal. Do you really think the Republicans in Congress will have the balls to stand up and fight Obama on appointments? We already got Kagan and Sotomayor thanks to them.
If Congress was (a) truly conservative, which it isn’t, and (b) aggressive, which it isn’t, then I might be willing to agree with you. But I can’t. I don’t like it but I am probably going to have to hold my nose and vote for Romney in the slim hope that he can be swayed more to the right. Because four more years of the Marxist-in-Chief running roughshod over the Constitution, unfettered by the eunuchs on Capitol Hill, is too horrible to contemplate.
