I’d settle for another March 1968!
Don’t let *mmmmf* *mmmmf* hear that or you’ll get e-lynched.
Truth be told he DID solve some of the problems, be he didn't solve ALL of our problems. Back in those days I thought “it couldn't get any worse”. Boy did I have a lot to learn.
We will never have a perfect candidate. Mr. Reagan was about as close as we have come in my lifetime. I will be happy to see the guy currently destroying our country out. I would have said the same thing in 1980. I do hope we are able to nominate a Conservative! Oh Sara, Oh Sara, where art thou?
I'd be more open to that plea if I thought we the people were having any say in who is nominated. I've come to the conclusion that the GOP liberal elite are going to put Romney in the seat and the hell with the voters.
They are going to ram Romney down our throats, knowing that he can't win after they do that. The bastards would rather lose the election than permit a conservative to become the nominee.
The GOP leadership is going to reelect Obama, not the Democrats. There should be a new circle in hell for them.
Ok Ok. .stop with the moralizing. . screw Kristol. . .the true conservatives are being assaulted BEFORE THE PRIMARIES. We don’t want Romney and, by God, we are going to work to get a genuine conservative in the White House. FULL STEAM AHEAD! Hand-wringing while the game is in the second quarter is what losers do. . “oh God, we’re behind by a field goal. . that’s it WE CAN’T WIN”. . .geez. ..go curl up on a blankie will ya. Remember. . .IT’S NOT OVER UNTIL ITS OVER. and it’s not over for Herman Cain. . .he can be the next Reagan. I don’t give a damn about the media circus and I sure as hell don’t give a damn what Kristol thinks.
Man, I hope a new conservative jumps into the Republican primary soon.
Somebody young and fresh and not sleazy or goofy.
As it is, anybody but Romney (or Huntsman or Paul) is going to have to do, but it could be so much better. Jim DeMint? Sarah Palin?
Scott Walker?
I guess at this point I’m hoping for Perry. I guess.. (shrug)
I’ve had this feeling,looking at the numbers from the Ohio polls on Kasich’s bill, looking at how the flame fired by taxes and the debt has dwindled as people fear loss of their entitlements, that conservatives really lost this fight in Nov. 1936 when America reelected Roosevelt, almost by acclamation. Americans really want the goods that a govt can dispense with tax dollars, and many if not most seem willing to take from others to do it while willingly surrendering their liberty to the state that provides. If I am wrong, how is it that no GOP candidate, save Goldwater, ran on the promise of repealing the New Dea? And President Reagan, victor over the USSR, never effected one significant victory in dismantling the New deal?
Not Mittens. The GOP Rinos picked the wrong socialist, conservative hating horse again. I’m an independent.
Its a weird mixture for me of politics and prophecy; I know how it ends but exactly where are we in that mix? I keep a foot in both camps.
Evangelical Patriots.
Push come to shove..
Romney Never. He’s no better than Ford or even Carter.
It’s true. In the end Reagan wasn’t able to do much on entitlements. But his appointment of Scalia was worth all the effort of getting him elected. Anyone who’s interested should read Scalia’s dissents from the many idiotic Supreme Court rulings of the last 25 years.
I think it’s crazy to say that the establishment is forcing Romney on us. It’s up to us to decide. Vote for the best candidate in the primary, and vote for whoever is the Republican alternative to Obama in November.
If this madness doesn’t turn around, we could be headed for another 1865. As volatile as things are, that would be very bad news.
Perry is on record as opposing the New Deal.
Not this time. Remember that Appomatox was time out, a long one, but time out just the same.
0bambi thinks he can subjugate us by pitting one against the other. He and his fellow travelers think that they can control the mobs of malcontents and America-hating scum. St. Paul exhorts us: “For what things a man shall sow, those also shall he reap.” Galatians 6 True then, true now.
All that remains is THE spark.
Where are the ELITE in THIS picture??
You tell ‘em!!
Wake up and smell the VICTORY!
