Oh puleez....
All you’re doing here is pontificating.
Not once did I, or do I, espouse anything untoward for homosexuals.
Your post is a severe over-reaction. Your either fishing for attention, fishing for a fight, or you want to show you write better than me.
You really had to dig deep for this pile of crap which has absolutely nothing to do with any sentiment I expressed. And you know it.
“Balkanization”....go on.
And no, I won’t argue with you. I intend to ignore this most insipid of arguments.
For honesty’s sake, I will admit these things:
Fred Thompson is my first choice now. I also like Hunter a lot.
I would NEVER vote for Rudy, and Romney just seems to fake and polished.
I am not a major Huckabee or McCain fan, but I’d easily vote for either of them over Rudy.
Ron Paul is the laughing stock of the party. He almost looks like a Saturday Night Live spoof of a candidate.
With that, I will state my persective of the debate.
The questions were basically loaded to pull the debate to the left.
The media wants the debate off of the war, and on domestic issues, because that’s where the left has historically had the best traction.
I thought it was very telling that Rudy got booed over his views on the 2nd amendment. He should have simply stated that he did not take the whole bible literally, and most people could have been good with that. The fact is that some things are to be taken literal, and others are to be taken as a type of symbolic teaching. I can bet you that he lost many many votes by saying that he did not see the story of Jonah literally (as in Jonah truly being in the belly of the fish). He will not be the nominee. He will come south and get taken to the woodshed. He’ll possibly do okay in Florida, but that’s because there are so many Yankees down there.
As I admitted, I am not a Romney fan. However, I think he held himself strongly, and probably made in-roads with the pro-life crowd, to which I belong.
McCain came across as a very strong, experienced leader. I am fully aware that he is nowhere near the top on the list of favorites here, but I do think he carried himself well, even if we didn’t agree with him. For example, I am not against “torture” for terrorists, but McCain spoke against it. He gets my ear only because he is a surviving POW. I do not expect him to be the nominee, but would not be surprised to see him accept the VP slot.
I like Mike Huckabee, but am investigating him. I am for a closed border, and the roundup of all the illegals after that. If he wants to allow illegals in, just to get their votes, he has fooled himself. I would not be surprised to see him get the nomination, and would easily vote for him over any democrat.
Duncan Hunter was great. I really like him, but he just has not mounted a great campaign. I would easily vote for him if he won the nomination, but he won’t. Because of that, I will not vote for him the primary. I’d love to see a Thompson/Hunter ticket.
I did not see enough of Tancredo, but I basically like him. He has no chance to get on the ticket.
Ron Paul looked like he was waiting for the Hale Bopp comet. He sounds like an idiot every time his mouth opens. It’s not just “what” he says, but more so, it’s “how” he says it.
