For Santorum supporters in SC, now is the time to focus on stopping Romney's "inevitability" momentum.
Just as Santorum needed every vote to steal an Iowa win from Romney, the Newt needs every vote he can get today in SC against Romney in order to keep this race a race.
A close loss by Romney won't slow him down and a win will only accelerate his path to nomination victory.
I can understand Beck supporting Romney because of a common religion but I don't understand the attempt to tear someone down. I think Beck's popularity will fade because of this.
Nobody defends adultery. Don’t be daft. If you were on FR back in the day, you would know why many here were labeled Clinton-haters. If you weren’t here, look up Clinton’s Downside Legacy. As for Newt, he will stand or fall on his own merit. If you don’t like him, that is fine, you don’t have to vote for him. You can’t shame me out of my vote. I know who Newt is, I like Newt, and he will get my vote if he makes it to my state.
Yes, we pretty much did all that and we still do. One thing that happened is that he happened to meet a young guy who is active in the Right-to-Work movement and who is also active in campaigning for Ron Paul. I think this guy knows RP personally.
Yes, he saw the towers come down. He was 12 years old, I believe. He buys the line from RP that the reason we were attacked is because Muslims hate us for being present in the Middle East.
Trust me, my husband and I are scratching our heads over this because he *is* a very logical person and very bright. I’d love to have him come on here and talk to a few Freepers, but you guys don’t say much that’s different from what my husband and I say.
He is definitely not doing drugs, lol. You’d only have to be in a room with him for 30 seconds to figure that out. He does, however, like a good cigar. Cracks me up to see kids that age smoking pipes and cigars.
Nobody normal. Goofballs, druggies and psychotic children.
Paul represents about 25% of the non-Marxist vote.
I hope there is a way to bring his voters on board.
be honest--politics aside, does that sound normal or mentally healthy? Sounds like OCD to me.
I told you Romney won’t be the nominee :-)
OK. I was exaggerating a bit. But, he was never interested in politics until this year and now he watches all the debates and brings up RP stuff almost every day in conversation. But, my husband and I talk about the election every day, too, so there’s nothing too strange there. No, he’s not OCD.
He’s was always the kind of kid who got interested in something and poured himself into it for a long time, but not to the exclusion of the things he had to do. He started programming when he was ten years old and was a consultant at the age of 16. He’s gone from chess to programming (still a programmer) to rock climbing to body building to electrical engineering (loved neural networks), etc. Right now politics is his thing. But, he’s still working at a full-time job and will be going to grad school at Carnegie Mellon in the fall. I have no complaints other than this hopefully-short-lived thing with Ron Paul.
Thanks for trying. I’m afraid it’s been a while since old Phineas T retired, and good pics are hard to find.
