MizSterious, I seriously considered having your screen name. Other ideas were Miztaken and Mizbegotten.:)

I totally agree with you and, by the way, I love your tag line.

Where were people on this forum who are bemoaning The Presumptive Nominee when Rick Perry was running.

I’m still ticked about that. So many of those holier than me people either viciously abused Perry or refused to defend him.

He was the ultimate small government candidate. He wanted to do away with several agencies, that do nothing but make our lives miserable. He would probably add the GSA to that list now. Government could be pared down to half with fantastic savings and great benefit to our country.

Not only did members here crucify Perry but they attacked every other candidate. From the misbegotten infatuation with Herman Cain, they moved (and I guess I did too) to Newt.

It became obvious pretty early that Newt wouldn’t make it, but that didn’t stop the vicious attacks on Santorum.

And now we want to blame others? Forget it. It was us.

Actually, a lot of people here supported Perry, but most were afraid to admit it, lest it invite the most vicious of attacks. If complaints were filed, the mods seldom ever intervened (I know of no such instances, in fact, but I’ll say seldom because there might be some I didn’t see).

So now it seems the trend here is to suppress even Romney votes, even if he is the Republican candidate. Sounds like someone wants Obama to win pretty badly. I can’t tell you how upsetting that is, coming from a site that once was a great conservative place.

Back in 1998, I debated about whether to use MizSterious or MizEllaneous—flipped a coin, and that’s what I use. ;)
