I am sure everyone wants to know what I think. (YIKES)

[dt57]

ok, guess this is what is called a vanity. Not sure because this is my first post. So give me a break ok? WE are now down to 4 candidates. Here is how I see it. There will be no surprizes for anyone who has read my posts.

1. Ron Paul. A true fiscal conservative that I would vote for in a heart beat if he had a clue about our enemies and how much they hate us and want to destroy us and our way of life.

2. Mitt Romney. All he has to offer is that he really, really, really wants to be President. Well, good for him. The problem is when that is your sole motivatiion, you will do anything to win. It is sickening. I can not vote of this man.

3. Rick Santorum. A good family man, and an above average Senator for PA. A true second tier candidate any field (except the one we have.) He is a fair communicator and fair debator. I will vote for him, if he is the one. Can he win, I doubt it.

4. Newt Gingrinch. A flawed candidate with a lot of (known) bagage. I happen to believe they all have past sins, it is just his are really out there to say the least. Newt can articulate the conservative message better than anyone since Ronald Reagan. I hope he wins.

5. A brokered or contested convention. This will insure an establishment republican. I know many say Rick and Newt will put their delegates together. I will have to see that to believe it.

Welcome aboard dt57, speak your mind!

No problem, I am the son of a truck driver. Where I come from if people don’t give you a hard time, it means they don’t like you. I really feel loved right now. :)

If someone shows up and starts posting crap, do not the ranks close? Are they not chastised? Should they not be?

True fact that you are a force keeping blog-pimps at bay. It's also true that you are a mite quick on the trigger.

Don’t know why you need $29.95 I submitted my bank account number and routing number earlier in the thread just like I was asked to do. Isn’t that something everyone does?

You need to click Private Reply then scan a blank copy from your checking account. Don't worry about the amount or signature, I'll fill those on later.

“I’ve become far too cynical as time grinds on.”

I think many of us have. It’s difficult when we look outside and see blue sky, think about what’s coming, blink, and in a flash see our own version of Sauron for a fleeting nanosecond.

Blue sky is so much more inviting...like blue water.

I happen to agree with most of what you say but I won't admit it because you are a newbie. We don't agree with newbies for a year or so.

Perfectly put.

So, dt57:

[Eaker]

I agree with humblegunner.

It is poorly written crap.

A n00bie should read FR for awhile before they start posting poorly written crap.

Maybe then the crap would at least have decent punctuation.

[dt57]

ok, let me figure out how to do that. Unfortunately I have to confess it took me almost a year to figure out how to get that damn Num Lock off. But I will get back to you, ok?

[Lazamataz]

ok, I will bite what is STFU.

Silly, Tiny, Funky Underwear.

Stoned Taiwanese Fart Uncontrollably.

Sticky Toiletpaper Found Under.

Or, Shut The (Friendly-word) Up.

[Lazamataz]

Unfortunately I have to confess it took me almost a year to figure out how to get that damn Num Lock off.

Where I come from, Num Lock is an insult.

Show yourself as a butthole and watch donations dry up…
and shove the balance of your well written, correctly spelt, peer-reviewed, crowd-pleasing expansion of wisdom.

[TheOldLady]

Oh, sorry don-o! But have you donated yet?

[Lazamataz]

"I think you should be nice"

I'll work on that.

If humblegunner goes 'nice' on us, I'll assume he went gay.

Again.

And I long for one whole session I spend here with perfect usage of your / you're.

That and I would love to see "would of" and "could of" eliminated as well (we won't even go into there/their/they're).

[dt57]

ok, I will read for a while, but I am too old to learn how to do anything but poorly written crap. And if I read a few more years, no one will have to worry about it anymore, especially me. So if the purpose of reading is to learn to write better, then I will fail. But is ok, because I have read some the past few days. And it seems there are a lot people on here that undertand poorly written crap. Well, I better let it go with that. It is possible though to read free republic for say, 15 or more years and never sign up. I am just saying, it is possible.

[Lazamataz]

Show yourself as a butthole and watch donations dry up…

Yeah. That's been JimRob's experience. NOT.

and shove the balance of your well written, correctly spelt, peer-reviewed, crowd-pleasing expansion of wisdom.

Noob. Seriously. STFU.

[re_nortex]

I agree with all that, with the addition of elimination of the F word in all of its permutations. It's been done to death.

Likewise.

And I long for one whole session I spend here with perfect usage of your / you're.

This may start an endless sub-thread but may I also add these to the list as well?

• loose/lose
• there/their
• should of/should have
• whom/who
• whose/who's

Note that "it's/its" isn't present since I've made that mistake far more often than I care to admit. :-)

You need a special wrench to loosen the Num nuts.
