Free Republic

completely and totally off topic, but does someone have that web hubble morphing into chelsea clinton pic?

ummm.... Murphy called West a coward for running in a new district? I am laughing out loud now.

I just read that MURPHY is running in a new district because he can’t beat Adam Hasner who is running for the seat Allen West had! Guess what?! Murphy is now running against West in the NEW district!!

What does that make West now? A hero? LOL. These commercials just write themselves! Thanks Murphy :)

Tis war sushiman- and that means the enemy of my enemy is my friend in some instances.

I gotta admit, I have always had a soft spot for the Donald. I grew up near Atlantic City and he has always been the stuff of legends there LOL....

Some of us escaped to florida from the north. I promise, and I brought others here to help- about a dozen all told, 6 of which are just entering their reproductive years to start adding to the voting rolls. Its not all of us, but I share your frustrations....

NPA- no party affiliations cannot vote in Florida primary. Independents not permitted.

I agree we need to pick our selves up and go forward. Doing just that. However, don’t let that 51% moderate fool you. There is no way these folks understand the definition. We passed in our constitution, the definition of marriage is between one man and one woman with almost 70 percent support, and have some of the most conservative legislatures representatives and laws in the country.

While this did not go well, it was an all out assault here from Romney for a month and, well, he scared the old folks. There are also alot of old folks who are absolute republicans, pull the lever types no matter what. No thought, just vote for who the R tells them to. Secret is, they are silver haired. The true conservatives down here are the pro life, pro marriage, pro conservative tea party types. Might take a couple of years, but, we are cleaning it up. Rick Scott, Allen West, Marco Rubio, Tom Rooney, Castle doctrine, No retreat Law, repeal of all gun laws in all counties and cities that are more excessive than the State laws, drug testing for welfare (pending standard aclu lawsuit) toughest state to get any benefits in- THESE are things done by mostly moderates? LOL.

There is much more, especially in the pro life movement (ultrasounds of babies, 24 hour cooling off period etc), but I don’t want to take up this thread regarding our issues. We are working on it, Rome wasn’t built in a day! I fled the north to escape the libs, I will fight like hell to preserve conservatism here, and I brought young, smart, well educated young men who are getting ready to build an even larger generation of conservative grandchildren to keep it growing :) ( NONE IN THE OVEN YET, but soon I am told)

my son said the same thing to me not 5 minutes ago, LOL. He is frustrated as is my other son, who cast his first vote this primary (turned 18 in nov). They are very involved politically and can debate libs under the table. They are ready to go third party, they feel this is ridiculous. I felt the same way as a youth and cast my first 2 votes for Ross Perot back in the day LOL.

We will need to find a way to get us some representation- do they stop taxing us if we have none?

normally lib- but allen west is their rep ;)

I will need to pray more about that when the time comes. There is time for Gods to move in this thing, so I am not ready to worry about that right now.

FWIW- I do not think I will, at this time I can say that much, however, the appointing of justices coming with the next election is a huge factor for me.

You thinking I turned my back on him by being Catholic lets me know all I need to. Thank you for your honest reply.

This is so true. Saw a poll that 25 percent of men would miss the birth of a child for the superbowl. Many would skip a funeral or wedding of a close friend or family member. You just have to wonder if there is actually hope for the nation.

I have often called professional sports the bread and circuses of our nation. I am adding reality tv and American Idol to that list.

Yes it is true. They were removed due to their volatility some time ago.

Thats fine-at least you are engaged and God bless you for that. It wasn’t really advice, just an observation. I pointed it out so at least I couldn’t be accused of being a Catholic basher, since I believe the two most viable candidates for conservatives are Catholic... you do know that Rick Santorum is a Catholic, right?

From the tone of your post regarding my reverting to the Catholic faith, it wasn’t clear whether you disapproved of my journey back to the Church of my birth-and your candidate, or if you just don’t care for the opinions of Catholics in general-except Santorums.

his supporters do. constantly.

got back from adoration with my son and hubby a little while ago. Deep, hard, heartfelt prayer from us tonight. Also called my folks and sisters and asked them to pray where they are, in agreement. Please help with prayer for our nation and our future!! All day, All night, as the founding Fathers did when faced with so many seemingly insurmountable odds.

This primary is in Gods hands now, as well as the general election. A people of prayer is essential. You rang the phones, knocked on doors, donated money, and debated, now it is time to put it in Almighty Gods hands, and let His will be done through Divine Providence.

Thanks to all who offer prayer, fasting and supplication on behalf of my country this evening-May God Bless America and keep Her!!

I feel a bit alienated by both Santorum and Romney. I am a devout Catholic and in my younger former life, I made some bad choices, including becoming pregnant with my first son at 19 and having a quick wedding to the father of my son. I came from an Irish Catholic family, so, it was kind of not optional shall we say. Needless to say, the marriage lasted less than 2 years.

At that point, a little older and wiser, I married my current husband, and we have been married for over 20 years and have 2 sons together, along with my son from our first marriage whom my husband raised as his own since he was 2.

I am pretty sick of hearing about Newts marriages. His first was to a teacher if I understand correctly, and that can be a heady time for a very young person. We all say a couple of things- too soon old and too late smart, as well as - man, if I could get a do over I would change __________________.

This much I can say- I believe him when he says he is a changed man in this regard. In my younger years, I left the Catholic church and became a Baptist for several years. I studied my way back into the Catholic Church after 8 years of hard study, prayer and discussion. I can tell you this, without a shadow of a doubt: 1. NO ONE converts to the Catholic Church for political expediency! We are pretty much lepers as far as presidential candidate go. and #2- You don’t convert to the Catholic Church at 65 years old because its easier. There are a lot of scrutinies and a year of preparation to do so. It would have been both more politically practical and plain easier to remain an evangelical and have a Jim Baker moment.

I am pretty sure JFK was the first and last Catholic president so that wasn’t his motive, and since a huge chunk of Catholics are pretty liberal, that wasn’t the reason either, so I have a tendency to believe his conversion of heart is true.

All that being said, over 50% of married couples have a divorce in their lives. That means a great deal of people either have experienced divorce or are married to someone who has. As messy as it is, for this conservative woman, I understand how ignorance and youth cause poor choices in life and sometimes those things lead to divorce. While I do NOT condone divorce in any way, I do understand, along with a large majority of the population, that they happen. Telling me that is a reason not to vote for someone and that it is truly their only determining factor as to whom could make a good president has lost my vote.

I am as conservative as they come-but I have made some regrettable decisions in my past that I am not proud of. I feel like every time I hear them bash Newt for this, they are bashing me, even though I married because I was pregnant and tried to do the right thing after a poor decision. I am sure there are many more like me out there, so keep reminding us.

I was actually for Cain first, then it was a hard prayerful decision to back either Newt or Rick. I chose Newt because I believe he has the vision, ideas, and ability to implement them based on his record. I appreciate Santorums stance on abortion, family values and so forth, but I do not believe he has the tools to get the job done in Washington.

As I have read comment after comment regarding Newt vs Rick, the most common one by far was not policy or conservative vs lib, it was he was married once versus Newts 3. I just felt it was time to say, this is not a valid argument except from those who would cast a first stone against not only Newt, but me, and thousands like me out there, that had the unfortunate misfortune to possess bad judgement, lack of wisdom and commit a sin, and repent. I have asked for Gods forgiveness, amended my ways, and done my best since then to live as a Christian example. I am thankful that God is my judge, because if it were left to some others I have seen on here, my fate would be sealed.

This rant was not against you doll, just wanted to get it out there, and your post was as good as any to put it :)

They wish LOL.

simple answer is, the MSM is just waiting with all this ammo for romney to get the nod, and the BLAM both barrels to destroy him. Newt is doing a service to get this stuff out now! And anyone who helps do it is ok in my book.

This is why they are gunning for Mitt to be the nominee- he is easily destroyed by his past- and unleash it they will, starting with the day after the convention.
