Free Republic

As a small business owner, i've been an NFIB member for years. On Monday, I'm calling up and canceling my membership

It’s a lot easier to convince a majority of 46,000 voters to support you, than to convince 100 million. Broun is also the son of a well-known conservative Democratic state senator with a number of public places in the district are named for him, so he had high name recognition going in. Finally, from Yahoo News “Broun believes that Democratic voters played a role in his win.”

If members of your party continually vote with the other party, giving them the ability to control the Seante, do you really have a majority.

I am not an anti-Romney poster. Check my comments on this site and you will see I have challenged all the major candidates for the Republican nomination. I am a true conservative looking to decide on who is the right candidate to support. Unfortunately, I’ve yet to find anyone worthy of my vote.

Yet, instead of trying to convince me to support your chosen candidate, you insult me. Is this supposed to win my vote, or the votes of the many others like me who are looking for enlightment on candidate’s positions beyond the bumper sticker slogans, hard core supporters like you are offering.

If you want to get Mitt elected, convince me that his plan is good. If you want him to lose, continue to insult potential supporters.

That’s because you don’t have a leg to stand on. You’re a liberal, supporting big government and trying to justify it.

With regard to Article, Section 8 are you referring to the clause “To regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes” or maybe “To establish post offices and post roads.”

Neither seems to support the rape of the populace to support spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the interstate highway system.

If Dr. Paul believes the same as you, why should I support him. Is he just another politician who feels he can twist the Constitution to support federal involvement and spending on any activity he wishes.

Resorting to name calling. My, my. You must really have a strong position to defend.

Personal responsibility means taking responsibility for yourself. A government mandate is not personal responsibility. It is simply a tax under a different name.

For your information, I have health insurance, which I pay for myself. It costs me approx. $6000/yr. Now, I fail to see how Romney’s plan is going to reduce my cost, or anyone else’s for that matter.

The Romney logic goes that there are millions of well off people who choose not to have health insurance, and when they get sick we all have to pay for it. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. The logic is false, lots of people don’t have health insurance and if they can afford the service, they pay for it. If they can’t afford it, they don’t.

Explain to me how someone who can’t afford to pay for his $5000 procedure, can afford to pay $6000 for health insurance. He can’t.

Therefore, under Romney’s plan, I will still have to subsidize the same people I’m subsidizing today. How will this reduce costs? I don’t see anything in Romney’s plan lowering doctor’s salaries, cutting prescription prices, or rationing care, so once again I ask how is it going to lower total costs?

It’s not, and while some lucky few may end up paying less, I’ll wager that most will pay more, just as the article above talks about how Massachusetts has declared that “as many as 200,000 people who were already insured didn’t have the right kind, subjecting them to a fine or forcing them to purchase new insurance.”

If Romney’s goal is tho say that everyone has health insurance, then his plan may work. But if his goal is to reduce healthcare costs it won’t.

I would argue that having health insurance without cost reduction or containment is a worthless goal.

I’ve heard Dr. Paul say he was against spending tax dollars on government actvities unless they are “expressly authorized by the Constitution.”

Point out the section of the Constitution dealing with building, operating, and maintaining highways. I’ve got a copy in front of me and don’t see anything on transportation or highways. Please enlighten us on where to find this function as designated by the constitution.

So you’re saying that the mortgage melt-down is due to anti-immigration activities. It has nothing to do with rising interest rates, but instead is because illegal aliens are being “forced” out of their homes.

So we should be “Mind-numbed robots” and vote for whoever Ann tells us to?

So let's see, Gov. Romney's plan is going to help me by deciding that my health care insurance isn't good enough, forcing me to spend even more money on a health care plan that some bureaucrats think I need, rather than what I think I need.

That seems to be the same kind of proposal most socialists make. The people don't know what's good for them, so they need us to dictate to them.

What next. Will the RomneyCare bureacrats decide that what I am eating is unhealthy and start dictating to me what to eat?

"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security." - Ben Franklin.

So the Clintons are still selling out the country to the ChiComs.

I wouldn’t lose too much sleep over Paul as President. The odds of that happening about the same as me being elected. And I’m not even running.

“Ranging from anti-war liberals to staunch conservatives, with a large dose of libertarians, Paul’s followers”

Any candidate who has liberals followers is clearly not one I’d vote for.

What do we need a military for anyway? According to the Dems, if we just act nice to everyone, they’ll act nice to us too.

Way to stand up to that coward and traitor.

Great idea. However, given the incompetence of the national party (RNC), they probably won’t do it.

Let’s see. In the 230 year history of this country the number of times that the popular vote winner hasn’t also won the electoral college is -—— 3. 1876, 1888, and 2000. So, since it has happened exactly once in the last 120 years, we should change the law. Good thinking DiFi.

Is Dr. Paul a socialist? Why should the government be involved in building, opertaing, maintaining highways at all? All highways whould be privately built, operated, and maintained by private enterprise charging whatever price they like for access. That is the libertarian way. Come on Dr, Paul.

When he gets Iran to stop its effort to build nukes, then maybe I’ll start listening to him.

It means that many independent Florida voters who might have been leaning towards voting for a democrat will now likely look at the Democratic Party as a mean-spirited, corrupt organization trying to prevent them from having a say in the election. This may encourage them to vote Republican. Particulalrly if the RNC starts running ads telling the voters this.
