I pretty much loathed McCain, and still do. I pretty much prefer everyone running this time to him.
I did vote for Sarah and the old dude in November 08.
I voted for them too because I always vote for the most conservative candidate, regardless of party affiliation. Why the party didn’t learn the lesson with Dole, I’ll never know.
No one learned the true lesson of Bob Dole.
Do not annoint a candidate that alienates conservatives. That is a guaranteed way to lose.
GOP turn out is way more inconsistent than Dem turn out.
But don’t forget it is voters who determine who our candidate will be, not the RNC. At this time last election cycle, Rudy was the frontrunner - McCain was just a tail end candidate that we didn’t even consider worthy of discussion. It was idiots in primary states that caused the collapse of our hopes for someone like Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson - you may have meant that in your post but some people do think the RNC decides on the final candidate.
Hunter would have been good. I liked Fred but hate that he’s shilling for reverse mortgages now. How much money do people need? It’s pathetic.
Oh nothing beats Jimmy Johnson shilling for Extends! lol
True! We should keep track of the most ridiculous ads people have done.
I just noticed how you signed in to post the thread. ROR!
Thanks for pointing that out! I didn’t notice either... XS is a comedian today!
Thanks.
Congratulations on the newest seeker of Truth! Having the grands close in age will help them to stay close growing up.
Mr member is pretty perpetually slack these days! ; )
Speaking of slackers the soother isn’t on today’s attendance sheet.....
I’m a little slow getting out of bed today. I’m travelling later tonight south of the equator.
Try to steer clear of parasites and bacteria this go-round!
Idiot independent voters in open primary states, mostly.
Will try.
Was that really Romney calling Perry a “career politician”?
What has Romney done since, oh about 2006, except try to run for president?
It was sequacious, loquacious, and outrageous!
Heck most of 2004 and 2005 too. He spent most of the second half of his one term out of the state.
Romney would have been a career politician but he couldn’t beat Ted Kennedy back in 1994.
Heck he’s the son of a governor and former presidential candidate himself.
Mind boggling.
