well SJB, i must fully disagree there Sir...
as a realist, i fully understand the evil that bambam, as well as every other lifelong political power player is capable of doing, and VERY WILLING to see come to pass, in order to further insulate their nests...
my other reality is that the mittens is no better than bambam, simply because the status quo is not going to be corrected by replacing one progressive statist with another...yeah i know, 'but he not AS bad'...BigFDeal as the train left the station at least a generation ago, and is still gaining speed...
even the micro gains in the CONgress in 2010 by *true blue tea party conservatives* turned out to be merely more of the same ole same, with the vast majority of those landing in DC and going with the flow, for whatever reason...
at this point, im as cynical, and pessimistic about the SOTU as Ive ever been, and thats saying a LOT...
SJB, you continually state that the rin-o-p is useless, and no different at the core, than the dems...i agree and believe that theyre two opposite wings of the same pre-historic, flightless bird known as the tyranny-o-saurous...and its hungry...why would i believe an establishement type, two-faced politician, with the personality of a used car salesman, who has the progressive record a mile long, will even begin to slow the bleeding, much less change the direction ???
sure, he MAY slow the bleeding, hell he may even reign whilst we have a bump in the economy and suck another dying breath, but more likely than not, he'll simply make a sh!tload of money for himself and his buddies, on both sides of the aisle, and we'll be satisfied with another american idol on another plasma screen...for another minute anyway, as a nation
OR, we can quit worrying about the 'what ifs' on the horizon and accept the fact that the beast needs to eat ??? the aforementioned pre-historic critter isnt going away hungry...it will be fed or bled...
if/when the ballon goes up, and i indeed must die to protect my children, I am NOT going to look God in the eye and try to rationalize voting *for* mittens and the perpetuation of the moral decay of my times...
instead I can vote my principles today and stand firm on em...barring any unforseen changes in the landscape, and since we are in essence going to vote for our choice of king this time around, I'll be penciling in The Lord Jesus as my one and only King...
meant to ping ya too...http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2921192/posts?page=147#147
” I’ll be penciling in The Lord Jesus as my one and only King... “
Best bet in town.
Those words are close enough for me.
Stephenjohnbanker, I’m not trying to pile on here, but I too am unable to vote for Romney. You know that.
Do what you have to do. Just let me know so I can give you hell for it when the wheels fall of the Conservative chuck-wagon under these two city slickers running the cattle drive.
