I know I'm wasting my breath talking to a broken record, "swpa_mom," but let me ask you an honest question. Is there any political issue, any issue at all, where you would refuse to vote for a Republican candidate? Is there no compromise or drift to the Left that you would consider unacceptable, as long as you get the "R" next to the name? It seems to me that if Hillary Clinton ran as a Republican (and why not, John McCain and Jeb Bush have more in common with Hillary and Obama than they do with someone like Ted Cruz), you'd gladly vote for her too.
I also repeat my question to you: what is the difference between having welfare state policies and price controls signed into law by a Democrat (LBJ) or a Republican (Nixon)? What's the difference between having amnesty for illegal immigrants peddled by Bush or by Obama? I don't suppose "swpa_mom" will have an answer to these questions. It's so much easier to the let Republican National Committee do all of the thinking for you, isn't it?
“I don’t suppose “swpa_mom” will have an answer to these questions. “
ek, now you’re just being mean. Our thoughtful interlocutor swpa_mom will cogitate on this conundrum, and having carefully weighed all the pertinent facts will declare that.... that you are a poor victim. A ‘victim of the eeeeevil “GOPe”, whatever that is’.
It’s a pity that she didn’t come up with a shorter tag line for us, then we could use it.
ek_hornbeck, or Pelham, if you’re the same person.........when it comes to the presidential election, I am voting for the republican. There are two choices, democrat or republican. Dream away about the third party candidate, maybe in my great grandchildren’s lifetime, but not in 2016. You see, we have a primary process that you probably don’t like. Are you the one who last voted in 1996 for Gary Johnson, or was that the other poster who answers for you? I’m confused at this point. I remember the attacks towards a good man, Rick Santorum, from so many of the regular posters here on the premiere conservative website. Surely you remember that. The reason for the attacks? his votes? no. his policies? no.
He did not endorse Pat Toomey in a primary election. You see, on this premiere conservative website, votes and policies don’t matter, it’s all about endorsements? Oh, I know what you might be thinking, geez that Toomey guy has kinda fallen out of favor here on the premiere conservative website. That doesn’t matter, Rick Santorum HAD to be attacked by many of the regular posters here for THAT reason alone.
Are there moderate democrats? No. Bob Casey was fed to the mush brain yewt as one, but Bob Casey is barely aware of his own existence. He does as told. But, to many here on the premiere conservative website, Santorum HAD to be defeated for his horrible mistake of endorsing the wrong person in a primary election! Surely you recall all of that.
So, you two continue your snarky comments and remember, whoever the republican candidate happens to be in 2016, he or she gets my vote. Period. Oh, you can stomp your feet and have your temper tantrum, “not conservative enough, I’m staying home”. If you want a candidate, you better get moving, that person is going to need a ton of money to defeat the dem candidate with all of that union money. Unless, of course, you would rather just complain about the republican field from the comfort of your sofa.
Obama has taught you to become a victim and you’re a victim of that eeeeeeeeevil “GOPe” (whatever that is).
