I am "Divorcing" the GOP-E and "Republican Party" effective TODAY!
Thanks for the heads up, sweetie!
Insulting fella, aren’t you...
Fleeting fundamental issue??!!! The economy??!!!!
4 more years of Obama may very well turn this country into something you and I may never be able to reverse. I’m not going to settle for that.
“we have a better chance getting an Alito or Roberts with Romney”
Have you looked at his judicial picks as Governor? My understanding was that he picked extreme left-wing liberals.
If he runs on a BIG idea like socialism vs. capitalism, that will work. I’m talking about this “turn the economy around” rhetoric based on unemployment figures or pocketbook/kitchen table economics. Bottom line, though, you can’t make your message all about economics or you’ll never be able to beat a Democrat if and when the economy is doing good, as we saw with Clinton. You’ll also never be able to save yourself if the economy’s going through a rough patch, as we saw with Bush, Sr. Leftism/progressivism is so embraces and well-defined by the Democrats now, that a debate over those BIG ideas should be what we’re running our elections on. And that entails social policy as well as economic policy.
Marcella, you are too kind-—seriously. I’m humbled.
LOL tomkat!
Thank you! I’m going to save that info.
See, doesn’t he look like he could drop-kick the current trash right out of the White House, LOL!
Gosh, post a little HTML and you’re a pushover. But it is nice to know.
I downloaded a voter registration form today and changed my party affiliation to Independent as well. It is in the mail for tomorrow’s pickup. Sick of the BS.
We can only hope.

Now that makes sense. Thanks for expanding your thoughts.
A great place to get started:
Keep your chin up. Good things are going to happen!
What time does your spaceship Hie Back to Kolob?
Indeed. Michael Rooker’s brother should be able to accomplish just about anything!
“(younger brother .. poor kid was always the homelier of the two of us ;-)”
Well, if you are as fine and muscular as your brother Darryl, then split pres./vice-pres. between you and I’ll vote for you. I have a list of Zombies for you guys to destroy.
Yea thanks for zotting someone with another view. This place has become a re-education camp. If one is not a boot licker....get the Zot.
This is crap. This has become a not so FRiendly place. Go ahead and self distruct with all the Nut’s on here. I’m pulling out not only with posting but my monthly donation. This site is being over run by kooks and Obama operatives.
Thank you——bookmarked.
Yep, that Darryl Dixon would make a swell president and he needs to wear that get-up every day including that gun. Democrats wouldn’t get close to him.
VOTE DARRYL!
So what? What difference will that make? Same people on the ballot. What a rebel and you don't even have to leave your house, lol!
Yes, W gave us Alito and Roberts . . . and Bernanke.
I can't zot anyone. The owner, Jim Robinson, has made it clear this is a conservative forum believing in life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness with the least amount of government intrusion. Romney does not meet those standards so Jim will not allow Romney lovers to promote him on this forum.
Your disagreement is not with me, but with Jim. Direct your argument to him.
The presidency is to a degree, but the rest of it is bullsh*t. Go get enough people to get the right people elected in the primary. The game is voting numbers. The rest is periphery. It takes work. The problem is too many people, including most on message boards, are lazy and do nothing but bitch.
Door knocks, parade volunteers, stuffing envelops, phone calls. That's what it takes to win. I don't do the calls, but I do the other things. That strategy can go for both party leadership as well as our elected officials.
Romney sucks, but not everyone downballot sucks, and I'm not going to abandon them to the wolves because people are in a bitchfest over the likely presidential nominee.
Tho I would truly deem it an honor if my eulogy could include ' the traitor zombies finally got him, but he made them pay a horrific price in the bargain '.
Seriously
The GOP won’t give a crap about your going indy. You have a choice...Romney or Obama.
Actually I think he donated all Daddy’s money away.
“Well, I lied (but you knew that ;-), tho it was in a good cause re Kate’s request. Tho I would truly deem it an honor if my eulogy could include ‘ the traitor zombies finally got him, but he made them pay a horrific price in the bargain ‘. Seriously.”
“Seriously”, I can do that for you. Send me an email when you die, and I’ll type that on really good paper and scotchtape it to your head stone.
Where do you live, what state? Have you caught any zombies or killed any to date? Be careful, whatever disease they have is what made them that way - don’t catch it or we’ll have to kill you and that would be a shame.
I have heard Democrats carry a strain of that disease - at the moment it’s eating their brains but one can’t tell it because they act that way, sick or not.
Your offer is just too kind Marcella, but I won't hold ya to it cuz gas'll be $18/gal by then and it'd cost you about $3K to make the trip from TX to PA and back.
I've chased off a few so far, but haven't buried any .. yet.
Tho if/when that becomes a necessity, there's about 2,000 acres of cornfield on the north side of my back fence.
Will just wrap a chain around a couple at a time and use the trusty old Deere to drag 'em up to the next patch of woods.
The crows will have 'em picked clean in no time.
Seriously tho, SHTF and a lotta lives will be comin' to an end sans formalities like eulogies.
Hell, your kind offer re zombie tally notwithstanding, nobody'd likely believe any flowery stuff about me anyway ;-)
If I were younger, I'd prolly already be back in TX, but age/family will likely keep me rooted here for the duration.
Old guys like me'll just have to fight a holding action to give y'all down there time to set up USA2.
So with that, Mr.Optimism bids y'all g'night !
If you don’t know Gator, you two need to get aquainted. Gator is a smart ole fella, sounds like you might be about the same age, onery and tough and gun smart. Gator is on a mountain in Washington state and you’re got lots of land in Penn. You two could cross fire and kill zombies in the middle of the country. Sure, your guns would pitch a bullet that far.
If “W”’d had his way then illigals would have been flooding even the upper regions of Minnesota, Maine and Alaska, or have you forgotten the pre-Tea Party base revolts of those years..?
I give up on the GOP or the GOPe.
We need a new party!
Temper tantrum sounds about right to me.
I guess it is true that for them, Mitt really cant do anything wrong, they will vote for him no matter what. I bet Mitt could praise Obama (he did - hes a nice guy) and still theyd vote for him. All I know is Obamas core believes the same thing about him.I don't know where you get this nonsense. A lot of us are not saying Mitt can't do anything wrong but are saying the choice between Obama and Romney is pretty stark.
That you can't see that is not a surprise to me as you seem to belong to the crowd that doesn't think Romney can do anything right and are willing to keep perhaps the worst president every in office while you throw your temper tantrum.
But I know I can't change you so help yourself but your lame justification just doesn't fly.
Hey girl... did you say “ole fella”? LOL
You look great in your Zot suit, with that Nerf-Zotter hangin’ on yer hip. ;>)
If you want to vote for Mitt, feel free. I will not be. No tantrum. Just stating an intention.
I am not voting for Obama because I don’t believe in what he stands for. I am not voting for Mitt because I don’t trust him, and I don’t like what he’s done as a governor. In both cases it is the candidates’ fault I am not voting for them.
And please, Mitt is not there with conservatives 80% of the time. He’s the most liberal of all the candidates that were running.
“You look great in your Zot suit, with that Nerf-Zotter hangin on yer hip. ;>)”
I am an official “Viking Kitty”, crowned by TheOldLady, but I don’t know how to post that official graphic.
I have a new gun - a for real Pepper Spray Gun. Shoots 20 feet with accuracy with a night spotter light. It’s the ultimate in pepper spray. Will stop zombies and Democrats or bad guys in general. Gives time to aim the Luger and zombie or other is no more.
You are one tough Texan that shouldn’t be messed with.
“You are one tough Texan that shouldnt be messed with.”
That is the truth. It’s a matter of mind set and mental practice. If one thinks through every situation that could happen, and uses the weapon mentally in every situation, then when a real situation happens, it’s not new because one has thought it through before.
Knowing stance and basic shooting protocol with the weapon is fine, but thinking through situations over and over allows freedom of action in the real situation.
Hesitation is not permitted. I see situations psychologically and I mentally practice so I won’t hesitate.
Well, this is off topic for this thread.
You’re very welcome. I had to learn from the 2003 sandbox and other sources. The 2012 version is much better organized.
Welcome to my pseudo-n00b world. I’ve applied for a FR fast-track tenure program however, and hope to achieve veteran status in a mere four years. ;)
From the Peoples Republic of the /State of New York...no question its like shoveling s-— against the tide. I vote every year for the opposition and there is enough of us that depress the number for the pinkos. Take for example Cong. Bishop, a Bam puppet, has recently come out in favor of Keystone, which is hard to believe.
At this stage of his campaign against Carter they said Reagan couldn’t win as he was far behind in the polls. Reagan as we all know went on to an impressive victory. We have a better chance with Romney and we can’t stop fighting.
For someone who believes in Christ(as I do with all my heart) you send a pretty nasty note.
You might try a little kindness. Sounds like you need it.
:)
Tsk. Tsk. All that political know how and no manners.
Just as soon as it arrives! Greetings Kolob, earthling!
Hah!
“Dont like it but it is a two party system.”
Not anymore. It is a one party system with two identical extreme left-wing liberal candidates.
we have a better chance getting an Alito or Roberts with Romney
Have you looked at his judicial picks as Governor? My understanding was that he picked extreme left-wing liberals.
____________
He was picking from a pool of Massachusetts lawyers.
touché!
