Now, do I have your complete and undivided attention?
- The Book of RINO, Chapter 5, verses 5-6. Can I hear an "AMEN!" people!
"By his holy teeth and hair, we shall be healed! HALLELUJAH, brother!" ;)
They are nice arent they ???
IT IS WHAT IT IS
That's what the guy said last time they tried to sell me a second-hand car. He looked like Willard too...
Why would Rice be invited to speak? Is there any evidence she is a conservative, let alone a Republican?
Amen and bump to you Kaslin. Why would any conservative do anything to even slightly increase the chances of nobama winning?
Yes, Romney's not perfect. But he's a damn sight better than nobama.
We need to be concentrating our efforts on strengthening our majority in the House and securing a majority in the Senate. Then we'll have at least some control over the White House no matter who sits there, hopefully Romney.
"Those who can, do; those who cannot, whine and snivel like spanked spaniel puppies about it." ;)
What makes you think Mitt was "pulled to the left in Mass."? When Jane Swift (the former acting gov of MA) announced she wouldn't run, Mitt stepped in as the GOP candidate. I can only assume this was by arrangement -- whoever initiated it -- with the MA GOP. If Mitt had been conservative and declared a run in MA, the MA GOP would have recruited a liberal to run against him in a primary -- that's their MO! In fact, I was surprised the the MA GOP supported Scott Brown -- he's not conservative by FR standards, but he's more conservative than the MA party apparatus. Of course, there wasn't much time in that special election.
The MA GOP a few years back (before Mitt was in) toyed with the idea of putting a pro-abortion plank in the state GOP platform. Not sure why they didn't go through with it officially, but that's where their heart lies. In any case, this past year they announced they weren't going to take social issues into consideration; which really means of course "Social conservatives need not apply!"
It seems to me the national GOP (GOPe, if you will) is rushing headlong in the MA direction.
Straw man.
I don't know anybody who is seeking such a candidate, anywhere in America.
I do know many who do have non-negotiable lines of conscience that they will not cross for the sake of someone else's perception of political expedience.
Lines which involve the most fundamental principles upon which the survival of this free republic depend.
Lines that Romney has been on the wrong side of his entire adult life.

Eh ???
This country is not Massachusetts and Massachusetts is not this country, thanks God.

Like begets like. It’s one of the first laws of nature.
So, you’re fooling yourself if you think a party run by Mitt Romney is going to produce anything but more Romney Republicans.
I will not be voting 3rd party either there is not one with the old Republican platform. I will vote for conservative republicans down ticket but for the first time since Regan I will not vote for president...not because I do not want to defeat Obama but because the party has given me nobody in that slot to vote for.
They made that choice knowing full well they were crossing a line with a good portion of their base knowing full well what the consequences could be and I made that choice because there is a line I will not lower myself to cross. The party left me behind I did not leave the party....sound familiar?

Willard wants to put one in the GOP Platform...
From the survey I got in the mail last week...
“Do you believe we should keep a strong pro-life plank in our platform? Yes No”
That the GOP would even consider tossing out the pro-life plank speaks volumes...
Willard’s liberal stance is influencing Republican politics and ideology already...
We had a really good example this year of how the Romney Republican Party will actually function.
Two years ago, powered by Tea Party energy, Utah Republicans, in convention, threw RINO incumbent Senator Bennett out on his rear.
This year, in a convention instead dominated by Romney forces, they couldn’t, or should I say wouldn’t, lay a finger on RINO Senator Hatch. And they pushed through virtually everything and everyone Romney wanted.
Your stated vision of how this could work is a complete illusion.
Wake up.
Instead of bitching you might want to read this article in Breitbart from August 2 by John Nolte
Palin in her own words speaking about the convention and her role if any from the John Nolte interview......... The part your quote cites begins about the 3:45 minute mark. Palin and other Tea Party members will support the nominee regardless of what you hear around here.

Oh, AND CURRENT ..... Like Mike Huckabee ..... but not Sarah Palin because she's not "current" .... Oh, I get it.
See you in November, Mittens. Simpering buttwipe. Give us a call when you're up to standing up to the Chicago Boys.
