The goose cooking metaphor is quite fitting as Dick Obama is systematically killing our golden goose: a healthy economy.
A decent rundown on the candidates, I suppose. I am sticking w/ my tagline for the momment. I don’t think Palin can overcome the rather large negatives created by a viscious, rabid, deranged media/politico class. And I am uncertain about the nation being ready to send another Texan back to the White House. Perry is only about 50-50 in his own state, so hmmm...
I do, of course, reserve the right to alter my choices as developments unfold. Keeping an eye on Cain.
I agree. By Nov 2012 the GOP could run a corpse and win. Obama is already starting to unravel in public. His presser the other day was dare I say bizarre.
Sorry, at this point, it’s like worrying about what will happen to commism in Europe if we allow Stalin to win in Moscow. Beating Obama is the ONLY thing of importance right now. All the rest is academic.
No, you’re wrong, and very likely mistaken on a factual level about one of the most important political dynamics of our time.
It’s like worrying what will happen to liberty in America if we allow [Soros or any other of the highly influential Marxists who are ferociously active here in America] to continue to gain ground against our Constitutional liberties.
As Reagan described it, socialism is a creeping tide. Reagan is one of the few who has helped to turn it back on itself. We need someone to do the same, now.
Mitt Romney wouldn’t come close. In fact, picture Romney as a surfer, riding the tide of socialism to whatever personal gains he imagines it brings him.
And from what I can tell, Bachmann is merely the bikini clad, sunbathing babe on the beach, giggling and waving to Romney as he tries to stick his chest out while surfing by her.
Gee, I must have missed Michelle Bachmann in the bikini on the beach......Really, in a bikini giggling on the beach?? That is an unbelieveably disrespectful comment about a presidential candidate.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion but you making an unreasonable, unchristian, utterly air-headed comment like that = ignore reasonisfaith. Which I shall do.
No, YOU’RE wrong and totally mistaken about the real threat of our time. Worrying about “incremental marxism” when a Hitler is at the gate is beyond absurd. It’s dangerous.
That is true...but I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY hope Romney isn’t the one that ends up being the one to do it.
Cain, Bachmann, Perry or Pawlenty maybe...
And IMHO, Palin isn’t running.
Obama personifies the creeping tide of socialism. I’m not convinced that you don’t understand this.
As an aside, the difference between fascism and socialism is about the same as the difference between Al Capone and Frank Lucas.
Okay, a one piece. And you’re right, she doesn’t tend to giggle. But she waves.
This election, not some nonsensical "creeping socialism," is the pivotal election of the last 35 years. We could live with a sex-harrasser in the White House. We could live with H.W. Bush's "new world order" and ADA. But the nation simply won't survive four more years of Obama. It's the difference between electing a Mussolini---who though a fascist and evil, was not a threat to anyone bigger than Ethiopia or Albania---and Hitler.
Fair enough :) And sorry, I was in a bad mood, not a good time to be typing. Peace and have a lovely holiday weekend.
“He is to communism what Stalin was”
No, Obama is nothing like Stalin. He’s a covert socialist who is foolish enough to be more radical than the typical liberal president. But due to the inherent weakness of socialism compared with American liberty, he can never come out nationally and make the statement “I’m a communist and my primary goal is to turn America into a socialist nation.”
I don’t think Stalin was forced to pretend to be a tax-cutting Christian. If Stalin were in the White House he would be trying to round people up and put them into camps.
Mainstream Republican and liberal presidents set the stage for presidents like Obama, who talks like a normal American (albeit with a double tongue) because the vast majority of people are not focused deeply enough on politics to understand that Obama is a socialist.
We have every reason to believe that Romney, Pawlenty, and even Gingrich and Bachmann would compromise any of the conservative values, at any time, throughout the years of their administration if they were ever elected. It’s the compromising by weak Republicans corrupted by power that allows the creeping tide of socialism to creep on.
Happy 4th of July to you too.
And right now, I'm not worried about "setting the stage" for anyone. I'm concerned ONLY with getting Obama off the stage while there still is a stage. And unless you get this, you're part of the problem.
Link to Obama’s quote where he claimed during the campaign to be a free market guy:

You see, sounding like the best candidate for president and actually having the ability to be the best president are two very different things.
Pawlenty knows what to say to make himself sound like a conservative candidate. Romney knows what to say to sound like whatever he thinks will get him votes.
But neither of these guys, or any of the other candidates, have a record like Sarah.
