Go run your Ross Perot and feel good about electing another Bill Clinton. ... who was slammed by the Republican revolution in his first term, and who was IMPEACHED in his second term. Kansas, answer yes or no, please: Do you think that would have happened if he'd been elected by a majority? Perot did conservatism a favor, you dope!!!!! LOOK at history! Stop emoting, and start THINKING.

How did “Eternal Vigilance” do last year, btw?

Exactly the way I made very clear I believed any third party would do -- beaten by either a leftist Democrat or a leftist Republican. I also made it very clear that I was voting third party and rejecting leftist liberal Romney not because I had any illusion a third party candidate would win -- I knew as well as you did AND I MADE IT QUITE CLEAR that the vote was ONLY to deny a majority mandate to whichever leftist won.

You voted for Romney. You voted FOR leftism, liberalism, and FOR making leftism more powerful in the Republican party. THAT IS WHAT YOU VOTED FOR, period. You deny it, but it is true that you voted FOR leftism to grow stronger in the Republican party.

You are all broadcast and zero receive. You are totally driven by emotion. One hundred percent -- you have failed utterly to comprehend what I've been saying here.

However, judging by the ways elections have been going, many, many Republicans are turning to the same page that I am on. You, meanwhile, are still stuck on doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Hey, Kansas, I FOLLOWED your advice for decades. You were wrong.

Romney was my LAST choice but he was a better choice than Obama.

YOU allowed Obama.

Romney would not have allowed Bengazi, Romney might not have gotten rid of Obamacare completely, but it would have been trimmed way back, maybe only to a national “high risk pool” of those with preexisting conditions. Romney would never have cut off death benefits to widows of our heroes who die in combat. Romney would be much better on taxes and the economy.

Get yourself a good mirror if you want to look at yourself so much.

Politics is not designed to give you someone exactly like yourself, that will never happen.

You voted for Obama.

I did not vote for Obama.

The primary purpose, the REAL purpose of any vote is a vote AGAINST the worst evil on the ballot.

You allowed the worst evil on the ballot.

The quisling traitors in the Republican party are scared for their very existence. They’ve been backed into a corner by a lone Senator shining the light of truth upon them and their co-conspirators on the other side of the aisle.

Ted Cruz has proven that we don’t need a third party to win. We only need a half dozen more like him elected to Congress, and the whole character of the GOP will change.

Proving my point: you are pure 100 percent emotion-driven in your political thinking. You voted for a pro nationalized health care, pro gay agenda, pro abortion, pro liberal activist judges, pro global warming leftist.

You are angry at me because I refused to vote for a liberal who supported FIVE MAJOR ISSUES that I had been voting Republican for 35-plus years to oppose. And you have the sad gall to accuse me of rejecting him for a reason so petty as that he wasn't "someone exactly like" myself. The ol' purist charge, another emotion-driven knee-jerk angry response. In all my years on Free Republic, I have never see one single solitary purist, not one. However, I have seen hundreds of emotional and bitter FReepers who accuse those who refuse to vote for leftist Republicans as being "purists."

Voting for Romney was as nuts as voting for Obama; I voted for neither, but you in your emotional frenzy, say I voted "for" Obama and that you voted "against" him, both fanciful mathematical illusions at best, malicious lies at worst.

I hope you’re right, Windflier, I really do. I also hope I win the lottery. :^|

If that guy is a Republican then there really is no difference between the 2 parties.

In the ‘90s, Peter King was one of the most outspoken supporters of fornicator / adulterer / perjuror Bill Clinton. I’ve never trusted him since then.

by describing the Texas Senator as a “RINO”

You can’t have anymore proof than that. King is a liberal socialist Demcorat.

They were made for each other...Too bad the people in those states don’t see them for what they are...

I believe the country would survive better without them in the picture up in D.C.

They would make wonderful dog catchers back in their home districts...

As Cruz hews to hard line, other 2016 contenders go mute on shutdown
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/bloggers/3077997/posts
[snip] ...in the aftermath of Cruz’s fiery speech... The shutdown went unmentioned by Sens. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) and Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), both early champions of the defunding battle. Rep. Paul Ryan (R-Wis.), who is working toward a compromise with the White House on the shutdown and debt ceiling that does not erode ObamaCare, made a short argument for his alternate plan in Friday afternoon video message to the group... Paul’s and Rubio’s dodges, and Ryan’s implicit rebuke, demonstrate that they are seeking to avoid being tainted by the fight’s fallout while avoiding any confrontation with the party’s base. Cruz used his speech to frame the debate over ObamaCare and the government shutdown in stark terms, painting it as a key battle in the larger war for individual freedom. [/snip]

Dear King,

You did not leave the Republican Party.

The party left you.

..as they spent much of the time pressing Obama for details about the House’s plan.”

I don't believe that for a minute. What Repub, in their right mind, would ask the Zero King to tell them what their own party is doing? Do they think he would tell them the truth? Has Obama ever told the truth?

Media spin, pure and simple!
