No! You're NOT exaggerating at all.
You nailed it!
Or you can get raw with these strings. Either way, the violin is sweet yet lethal.
Do it!
What is getting under my skin lately is the 'RINO police.' Everyone is a RINO: DeMint, West, Bachmann... offer a name and someone throws the RINO card.
Want to talk 2012 candidates? For some it's Sarah Palin even if she's not running. Discuss anyone else and they'll go scored-earth: you must be a RINO and your candidate is a stalking-horse for Romney, be warned or we'll call for a zot. I exaggerate, perhaps, but not by much.
Some believe the nomination is hers, candidate or not, and no one else can have it. That stuff doesn't do Palin any good if she ever does run. It drives people away to see that cultish craziness. That's different than passion.
It doesn't do FR any good, either, because there really are actual candidates in this race and we need to discuss their pros and cons. We need the best alternative to Romney running.
I've been saying lately, if people wait around for Palin, and she does not run, the conservative alternatives will have lost valuable time needed to build a strong campaign and raise funds against to fight Romney. Primaries and caucuses start in January, people will be busy worried about home heating oil and the holidays by October. These next 3-4 months are crucial to the nomination.
I couldn’t agree more. I want Sarah to run as much as any other FReeper, but what if she doesn’t? I am ready to get to work now. I think waiting much longer to get behind a declared candidate is going to give Romney the nomination. The longer we sit around waiting, the more it will appear to the moderates that we aren’t excited about this election and don’t care who they nominate.
We need to be making phone calls in the early primary and caucus states very soon. Super Tuesday is February 7th. McCain clinched the nomination on March 4th, 2008. Super Tuesday helped him do that. We have to convince those in the Super Tuesday states that Romney is not good for the party. To do that, we have to give them a conservative alternative.
We need a candidate by the end of the summer, IMHO.
Terrific post. Took the words right out of my mouth.
I agree. It's a divide and conquer stratagy and some people fall into the trap. Now, if someone has valid reasons why some of these people shouldn't get our support, I would like to hear them. Not just that they are a RINO.
I hate to say it, but there probably will not be a perfect conservative candidate. IMHO, 4 more years of the Obominaton will totally destroy this country as we have known it. Therefore, ANY conservative is better than BHO.
