Well I see the Benedict Arnold wing of the conservative movement is alive and well
You people are the useful idiots of the Democrat propaganda machine.

You might want to note who posted this thread, this thread and this thread before you say that again.

Palin needs to disappear and allow Romney/Ryan to move forward without her baggage from 2008.

Au contraire, Rombag needs to bow out and let Palin take his place. She’d win by a large margin.

The only “baggage” she has was created by her political enemies, and Rombag the Rino scum is one of them.

I’m going to vote for him anyway just to get rid of 0kaka. But I loathe him.

Yeah- Gibson went for the jam job and she did quite well. Biden would be flubbing his lips.

Sarah P took the fight for the last 4 years to the enemy. She called them out at every turn. Is she perfect? No. Does she have the mantle of the Patriots? Yes!

“You people are the useful idiots of the Democrat propaganda machine. “

So, not believing the lies of obomney makes one a useful idiot? I guess being obomney fan makes you just an idiot... useless idiots are set to destroy the conservative movement and, by extension, the country. Selling your principles, no thanks.

It's one thing to watch Romney's crowd do things that help them lose the election for him and everybody else, but when they DON'T invite the party's celebrities to the event, they hurt themselves even more.

If you want an audience you've got to put on a show somebody might want to watch. Palin is a draw. Even Richard Nixon's coffin would be a draw compared to the event these guys have planned.

Frankly, the kind of thinking that's going on among the convention organizers is strictly bush league and provincial.

Br'r Akin actually has until August 25 to take a hike ~ although replacing him will take a court order (according to talking heads on FOX just a few minutes ago)

The convention hasn't happened and the weather may actually cancel it. So there is time to correct other problems.

But as I"ve been arguing for months, when a candidate shows ethical flaws even after seeming to 'win' primaries (whatever that means) the party has to take appropriate action and get a better candidate in place.

Up until this Akin thing the Romney supporters were against my position ~ now they embrace it like they were there all their lives.

Fundamentally there's no problem at all in jacking up the old candidate and running a brand new one in his place ~ whoever it is!
