Just heard yesterday and hope it is true, that folks are turning on Obama in his “home state of Illinois”! Wouldn't it be SO VERY SWEET to see Illinois go to Romney/Ryan!!

Good a chance at what? Winning Powerball? Finding a four leaf clover? Seeing big foot? Because if you mean winning the presidency, you need your head examined! There are two major parties in the United States. The Democrats and the Republicans. Since their formation and the dissolution of the Whig and Federalist parties, every president has come from those two parties. Every one. Yet you claim that a man from a tiny third party, who isn't on the ballot in every state, has as much chance as Mitt Romney, the man who'll be the Republican nominee in a few weeks? How do you expect anyone here to take you seriously when you say something like that?
I agree. I took the same stance with Bush. I recall, in fact, posting here in FR the former Republican President's statement, which I hold as true today as I did during the Bush presidency:
"The President is merely the most important among a large number of public servants. He should be supported or opposed exactly to the degree which is warranted by his good conduct or bad conduct, his efficiency or inefficiency in rendering loyal, able, and disinterested service to the Nation as a whole. Therefore it is absolutely necessary that there should be full liberty to tell the truth about his acts, and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public. Nothing but the truth should be spoken about him or any one else. But it is even more important to tell the truth, pleasant or unpleasant, about him than about any one else."The same principle applies here, i.e., we vote for Romney & Ryan to get rid of 0bama, and should we later be faced with policies from a President Romney that we cannot accept and will not condone, we will oppose him as adamantly as did the West oppose Stalin as the Cold War began in '46. The battle today is to get that filthy Communist out of the White House. The battle tomorrow will be determined by what 0bama's conqueror does effective 20 January, 2013."Republican President Theodore Roosevelt (Kansas City Star", 149; May 7, 1918)
I absolutely agree. What we need to focus on this election, the next, and the ones forever after: electing Constitutional Conservatives to local office, and state and federal elections. Each of us has to be in earnest prayer that God will bring us into meaningful and respectful dialogue with our co-workers, acquaintances, family, friends, church members, teachers, for frank discussions first, about those things we can all agree as goals for our children and their futures, and approaches of how to get there. Meeting in a middle area, they will be more prone to listen to ideas different from their own. Maybe not that day, or the next time you speak, but maybe by the next election, something will sink in and they'll see a meaningful difference as to why the liberal way is inferior to the Constitutional way.
I already have. Been doing it for more than a decade,
***Based upon our exchanges over the last week and all the lies you have been caught in, I doubt what you say is true.
Obama currently has access to the nuclear codes and Joe Biden is one breath away from having them.
Have a good night. Sleep Well.
You vomit more lies than almost anyone I've ever met on FR. All I've seen from sf is that he has opinions that DIFFER from YOURS. And that, silly boy, doesn't equate to the definition of a 'lie.'
Amen.
“We are going to send that paper hanging SOB packing...”
LOL! I see what you did there!
Good job, we’ll get them in and hold them on a short leash, God willing.
We’ll at least get that commie phonie out.
Hang together, or hang separately, it was ever thus.
You vomit more lies than almost anyone I’ve ever met on FR.
***Then point them out. I had exchanges with you on that thread as well, yet not even once did you say I was lying. If you’re gonna call a freeper a liar you need to back it up.
All I’ve seen from sf is that he has opinions that DIFFER from YOURS. And that, silly boy, doesn’t equate to the definition of a ‘lie.’
***That is because you see what you want to see. Each time I impugned SF’s honesty I pointed it out. It was on several posts. Which is more than what Free Republic will see from you because you cannot back up what you say.
JimRob:
Well deal with Romney and the RINOS later.
Kazan:
How are we going to do that when the establishment knows, ultimately, even you will vote for whoever they put up?
***Maybe you can answer this, mojo, since JimRob didn’t answer it.
God’s Word I posted exposed you as the liar. It was necessary to be redundant on that thread and also say it myself.
I always back up what I say, and did I that thread, but you were more interested in ‘cutting and pasting’ your pat and childish answers than actually reading and thinking about what people who posted to you said, all because we oppose and disagree with your pharisaic posts.
How, pray tell, can conservatism grow when conservatives support liberals? Conservatism dies when its adherents abandon conservative principles. This ain't rocket science.
8 years to get behind one conservative candidate.
Ah. The politics of personality. Just what we don't need.
8 years to close the primaries.
Process. No reference to principles or policy. Hmmm... But, in any case, the Romney Republicans, who now own the formerly grand old party lock, stock, and barrel, aren't going to let you do that. Not in a million years.
These are the two major failures of the conservative movement.
If only process and personalities were the only problem.
Now its our turn and we will make this right.
Yeah, right. Somewhere over the rainbow, skies are blue. You do know Oz is fictional, right?
So if you want to hold on to your prejudices in the short term, do keep them to yourself while the rest of us work long term.
No. Because those who surrender principle now can't be trusted with the long term.
For reasons I posted on another thread, I am certain God will restore Israel.
And I join in your prayers for our beloved country.
God's Name is I AM.
