"Bandwagon" - If I like Rick Perry, I hate everyone else and bash their followers incessantly. If I like Herman Cain, I hate everyone else and bash their followers incessantly. If I like Newt Gingrich, I hate everyone else and bash their followers incessantly. If I like Rick Santorum, I hate everyone else and bash their followers incessantly.

"Bandwagon" - if I support one conservative candidate over another, I will not tolerate even legitimate questions about that candidate. I cannot say anything negative about Bachman, Palin, Gingrich, Cain, Perry, Santorum or any other legitimate candidate without being attacked by those on the "bandwagon."

As I have observed the candidate threads for the last months I have seen a lot of unnecessary attacks by good freepers on "bandwagons."

If you interpreted that one word to mean I was going to be trashing Newt, you were sorely mistaken.

And as for questioning my honesty. The only thing that gets me in trouble is that I am TOO honest. Your attempt to pick a fight with me yesterday, and now your accusation that I am not "honest" prove that you are exactly the kind of freeper who does what I find un-helpful in the overall goal of getting rid of Obama.

I have repeatedly stated my honest opinions. I was leaning toward Cain until he dropped out. Now it is between Gingrich and Santorum for me, and I see positives and negatives in both candidates. As a strong pro-lifer, I love the fact that Rick has been a champion for the sanctity of life. As a fighter, I love the fact that Newt is afraid of no one and will say what we're all thinking.

I see negatives in both of them as well........which all "honest" conservatives do.

Ohio's primary is a number of weeks off, and by that time, I will have made my final decision, but until then, I would like to see honest dialogue, and not petty accusations based on absolutely no facts.

For me, accusations such as you have tried to level at me are the epitome of what is not "honest."

I said keep it honest. Perry and Cain are no longer in the race. Yesterday you were comparing Mitt/not 100% evil and Newt/not 100% good and whining about not able to have an 'honest discussion'. Itching to talk about Mitt.

And now you bring up other candidates no longer in the race? LOL!! That's call the romney double speak. Go, you are getting to be more repulsive by each post - I'm done with you. You were good for one reason - to prove my point.
