1992 “Perot can’t win” —> National Debt Increases + Border Wide Open
1996 “Keyes can’t win” —> National Debt Increases + Border Wide Open
2000 “Bauer can’t win” —> National Debt Increases + Border Wide Open
2004 “[Insert Name] can’t win” —> National Debt Increases + Border Wide Open
2008 “Keyes can’t win” —> National Debt Increases + Border Wide Open

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.

How do we know who will and will not sell us out? Is there a litmus test of some sort that will give us a hint? I am asking this in a very serious way, not trying to be a smart-ass or anything like that. It seems to me that so many times we’ve been led down the garden path only to have the rug snatched out from under us. Take the Republican Revolution of 1994. We did our part, we put them in control, not only of Congress, but of the White House too. And look where we ended up. We are pretty much limited to voting for those who end up on the ballot and we have little control of that. Oh I know, we get the government we deserve, but there are an awful lot of us out here who know the difference and vote the difference. And many of us try our best to fund the difference. But we can only do so much, and even when we do what is right it can still fall apart.

How do we hold their feet to the fire? It’s very depressing to see that we don’t even have the balls to tell someone like Ahkminanutjob that he’s persona non grata in our country, let alone a Ted Kennedy or Pelosi or Reid (sp?).

Regardless of Alan’s views, and I do like many of them, I can’t make him the recipient of the votes necessary to make him President. He’s been here twice before and it just hasn’t worked out.

When Fred announced, it was anticipated. There was a considerable following from the start.

When Alan announced several days ago, there was a big resounding thud.

I don’t see Keyes as presidential material, but it’s okay by me that you do.

Like I said, I’ll come back and eat humble pie if he even comes close to being viable.
