HERE IT GOES AGAIN.....just like last time....we get constant attacks against OUR own people by OUR own people....

just STOP it.....

its critical to defeat bama and we'll take a decent person with flaws over that communist anyday of the week....

so if its Mitt....if its Perry...if its Rudy....if its Sarah....then we MUST be there for them...

Agreed. However, the purists don’t understand basic math it seems. We need more votes than the other side in order to win in the general election.

The problem with being on this side of the political spectrum is ‘resource allocation’. We consist of the ‘producer/achiever’ class. Time and money are valuable assets to us. We can ill afford to waste both trying to keep politicians in line if this nation wants economic growth.

Oh no, Cherry. If Jesus Christ Himself ran for the GOP nomination he wouldn’t be pure enough for some of these people.

I mean, he actually liked poor people!

And have you noticed, none of them want to say who they really support? They can’t say Palin because she’s not in the race and if they admit they’re for Paul they’ll get laughed at. It’s all very....convenient.

Unfortunately, I find myself coming to FreeRepublic less and less often these days. I can't stand to see the constant attacking of candidates that have the courage to stand up at this point in time and declare their intentions to run against Obama for president.

I haven't declared my support for any candidate yet, but I do know this - WHOEVER ends up being the one that runs against Obama - I WILL VOTE FOR HIM/HER. This should be our top priority!

It's fine to point out the pros and cons of each candidate, but NONE of them are perfect - right now, at this time in history - the declared candidates that can beat Barack Hussein Obama should be getting encouragement - not the circular firing squad treatment.

I've read in other threads that this is "Palin Territory" - she is not even a candidate yet! Without exception, when I read a thread attacking Perry or Bachmann - it is initiated by a Palin supporter. I haven't heard Gov. Palin spread this kind of slime herself, and I think it reflects badly on her to see her supporters do it. I can go to DU if I want to see Republican candidates get trashed.

Nothing like eating your own. Vetting is one thing, what’s happening imo is far different.
