You start by insulting me and then call me a jerk. lol
Get a grip. Pointing out the contradictions in your position isn’t an insult. However, insinuating that I like Obama is a glaring insult.
“So the world is black and white to you?”
What position is that? The one you made up or something I actually said?
There were TWO candidates with a chance of winning the last Presidential election. Regardless pf whether you chose not to vote or voted for a third party the end result was a benefit to Obama.
Not that this thread has anything to do with the last election despite all the trolls.
It has to do with Palins comments about Snowden. Palin is right.
The world is only black and white if you are a single issue voter.
Until Jesus returns every single candidate will be imperfect.
In viewing the responses on this thread, you are just out to pick a fight. You are staking a position in post 17 that is not supportable by the results of the last four elections. And then attacking anyone who either points that out or rejects your demand that conservative principles be jettisoned.
So in other words, debating you is worthless. Later.
The world is only black and white if you are a single issue voter.
It also seemed to ignore my explanation of what I call “black and white.
Romney looked real good compared to the 12 non-lifelong Conservatives. He looked miserable in the early primaries, as he had all the primaries in 2008.
As we now know he lost.
Where did I demand that conservative principles be jettisoned?
never did
Said if you don’t win then it doesn’t matter. There is a difference.
Seems you can’t understand that.
Yeah, Romney’s competition was weak, but so was he.
Better a Republican of conviction, who had once been in another party (like Reagan), than the milquetoast that Romney was throughout his years of campaigning and governance.
Yes he lost. So did all of the other conservative and not so conservative candidates.
Every single one of them would have been better then Obama. Just like Rush said. Doesn’t mean they were perfect, or even good, just better.
Now the question is whether we’ll have a real election again in this country. Or whether we’ll effectively have a one party system which uses the power of the govt to monitor and manipulate the citizens. That is what we have now.
I agree that the overreach is the larger issue.
But I don’t think Snowden’s lawbreaking should be dismissed, and his family put on par with the razzing in the press that the Palins endured.
Were she in office and some punk Marxist NSA employees wanted to divulge whatever they liked, she would have to take their criminality seriously.
The same IMO should apply to Snowden, since he did not even try the available whistleblower channels first.
The Dems got ahead of the curve for the 2008 election, but then they had this incredible fall off for the 2010 election. Almost half their voters didn't show up!
Currently we are behind but by my calculations we did pick up an additional 5 million new Republican voters between 2008 and 2012 ~ alas, that wasn't enough by any means.
When Romney’s babydaddy left the Republican party so did he. Now that’s milkytoast stuff. He showed right from the start of his political career that even in front of his family he didn’t have sticktoitiveness nor gumption.
I really hope Sarah runs for President in 2016.
So do I.
