So, we just keep declaring as viable, and voting for people who spent their entire lives chasing after money (what Jesus said directly competes with affection for a holy God), instead of getting behind straight talking patriots like Hunter, Tancredo, Keyes, and (gasp!) Paul.
Recipie for someone who will sell you out:
1) chase after money and help nobody but yourself, so you become very wealthy, and conservatives get behind you, and think you are “a contender”, and conservatives also brush off those who are not rich
2) since you have no morals, (after all, you chased after money to the exclusion of everything else), you never feel or speak with any passion about the evil in the world, so you never say anything the least bit offensive, so nobody can ever say, “wow, he’s really out there! I can’t get behind him!”
Bush, Clinton, Bush, all sold us out, and every alternative was declared a loser from launch, because our expectations are in the gutter.
If this negativism keeps up, our next president will run up the national debt, and leave the borders open, abandon the unborn, and act as if the ACLU are harmless hacks.
All of you are better than this. You’ve simply forgotten that settling for sellouts who can “win”, actually causes you to literally lose.
Many in California voted for Arnold because unlike the real conservative Tom McClintock, “he could win”. But did the voters really win since Arnold eventually revealed himself as the liberal *we* *knew* *he* *was* during the recall election?
Hopefully, your expectations will be higher this time, than voting for a “front-runner” who can “win”, but will just sell us out.
You’re better than that. That’s why you are here on FR and not at DU. You either know that values come from our Creator, or you know that society is toast without them.
Look at my tagline. I’m supporting the best man to run for the presidency since RWR.
You’re some kind of Christian nut. Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesars. You’re creeping me out. You’re a Theocrat. Go back to Iran with your religious zealotry. You’re intolerant. That constitution doesn’t mean anything, it’s a living document. The A(Civil Liberties)U is a great organization. What do you have against Civil Liberties. I can’t tolerate you. Go back to DU with that stuff.
Sorry. Just wanted to preempt some of the comments you’re going to get. I’ve seen many responses like these and I’ve added some which align with said responses. Your post is great and is what every conservative ought to think about.
1) I voted for McClintock.
2) Ron Paul is decent on economic issues but hopelessly naive on national security / foreign policy.
BTW, the recent FR Presidential Poll results appear to be absurd (15.1% for Paul, neck-and-neck with Hunter?). Something fishy is going on there.
Outside of that I like him and he is a nice person.
