May be not so much that, but that it is happening. I don’t know really. I do now. If its happening in the Air Force branch it must be happening in the other branches as well.
Wow! Well said, it is time to stand and deliver America.
Thank You sir!
True, and gut-wrenchingly embarrassing. The people of Booby's generation were raised differently than many of us were. Freedom extracts a price, and cowardice is no more than the unwillingness to pay that price. May God grant us new courage to roll up our sleeves and get into the fight and pay what ever price we have to for our freedom.
Great post - thanks.
/Bobby/ Argh! Just awful. Forgot to spell-check. Sorry ...
bttt
couldn’t have said it better myself BUMP
She’s had my vote ever since she came out on stage at the Nutter Center and was announced as the VP pick. Too bad the Presidential candidate was McLame.
Even without "Bobby's" awesome history, I do share and swear to this part.
Fun exercise for those who are horrified by Sarah Palin: Sarah Palin would make a poor President *because* ........... Fill in the blank, please. Thanks, Bob
Bobby, may I suggest you take the same “anger management” pills regularly consumed by John Boehner and Eric Cantor? That’s MUUUU.....CCCH better. Bob
PING!
Well said!
RESPECT.
I liked every word.
So pissant, is this just another Palin “cult” member?
Palin 2012.... period.
Yeah, a real coalition-builder.
The question is whether conservatives want emotional gratification or political victory on the critical issues facing this country. Rants may make us feel good, but the reality is that they alienate some voters who otherwise might be persuadable. All the heartfelt outrage and anger won't matter one bit if we can't get a majority of electoral votes in the next election, and gain control of both houses of Congress.
That's not to say that we need to alter our positions on the issues, because electing someone who will enact RINO policies is no better than losing. But it should at least remind us that we need to elect the most conservative politicians who can also garner enough votes among non-conservatives to win. And sometimes, that's less a matter of what you say than how you say it.
Seems to me that Bobby is smacking the elites, who are not persuadable anyway. Again, I ask, who is more deserving of the nomination than Sarah, among those with a realistic shot? Bob
I don’t think Bobby is “Ret” at all. Not ever retied.
Why do you say that he's smacking just "the elites"? If you're referring to the supposed conservative elites, then I'd say that we better be able to persuade them to vote for the eventual nominee or we're completely screwed. As much as we may not want to face it, staunch conservatives are not 50% of the electorate.
Again, I ask, who is more deserving of the nomination than Sarah, among those with a realistic shot?
Given that not even Palin has declared yet, I think it's far too early to say who else may be deserving of it. She may not even run at all.
I think there are a few candidates who probably should be disqualified, but for the most part, I think we need to let this thing play out a bit more and learn some more about the folks who actually do declare before saying who may be more or less deserving. For me, it will come down to the most conservative candidate whom I think has a good chance to get elected..
My point is that any candidate who plays only to his/her base is not likely to win in the general election. Our nominee must be someone who has crossover appeal as well. That's just the reality of counting votes.
