It's not up to us to coalesce behind one candidate, is it? Rather I think it's up to the individual candidates to drop outWell, sort of......
I said it was up to the candidates to make their case to us in the next two or three weeks, and then we would need to decide to coalesce behind one, to first defeat Romny, then to defeat the Marxist in chief.
I've been tracking you so you couldn't get my phone number.....

I don’t remember much solidification behind McCain, do you?

Well, someone needs to tell Rick that we're engaged in a completely different kind of war right now, and that it would really help the war effort if he sent his troops over to help one of the generals who stands a fighting chance of taking out Benedict Romney. That's what this is all about, in a nutshell. We're going to need some heroic sons-a-bitches, even if they are lowly politicians. Any one of these candidates who goes out in the process of taking Romney out to better the chances of another conservative candidate, will be American heroes.

You have never been accused of that. I stated a fact that is taking place in a whole lot of forums. I did forget to also include Romney is all this. Dirty trickster Romney has sent many in to many forums to disrupt. I was told by a volunteer out of Iowa that Romney operatives pulled lots of dirty deals in caucuses to the point before anyone walked in Romney was the winner. But then we both know Romney is no better than the left.

Gingrich - Santorum 2012I'd accept that, or either one with some other choice as VP, though I'd prefer Santorum - Gingrich. I'd rather have the more staid individual in the presidency. Let Santorum govern, and Gingrich be the one to take on the establishment/msm. He has the ability moreso than Santorum.

My turn, sorry Jim but this is exactly what I was talking about before.
Shield, that’s an outright lie. Gingrich’s record is rated over 90% conservative. This is the same BS that the Perry fangirls and PDSers do on every thread that led to FR becoming a warzone and ‘circular firing squad.
Shield, YOU and those following your example are the Conservative’s problem and I suspect that you are the Liberal here to create the dissent.

There are people on this site who, if the were playing blackjack, would hit on 20 every time. Your odds of winning get pretty slim when you do that.
That is a great example to explain this situation, and I am concerned if these players hitting at 20 on Free Republic as real conservatives, or stealth liberals acting as conservatives to destroy conservative candidates. The true strategy is comparing cards, and selecting the best card among all. In other words, if there is no Joker or Ace in hand, and the remaining are King, Queen, or Jack, the best choice is the King. Just because King is not an Ace, you never remove the King from the game. However, if there is only a Three in hand no different from the opponent, I expect it is time to gamble with the tea Party to join the game and challenge as the third party. It may be a double edge knife, but could also be a game to prepare for the next, as a warning to Republican Party to remove Rinos from its party.

I rarely see more vitriol on FR than that put forth by 2 anti-Perry bots on pro-Perry threads. Luckily Jim calmly put a stop to it.
I wish you would stop denigrating us.

Gingrich - well he is going to have problems as we have long memories and, though it is hard to believe, we respected Clinton - yes, even we conservatives here. WTF are you talking about? We didn't respect Clinton. You've been here a few months and say "we" respected Clinton? You're high. Put down the bong.

Well, someone needs to tell Rick that we're engaged in a completely different kind of war right now, and that it would really help the war effort if he sent his troops over to help one of the generals who stands a fighting chance of taking out Benedict Romney. I think i'll wait until after SC and FL. Or until Rush quits writing articles saying not to rule out Perry yet, whichever comes first. ;)
It was one caucus. An open one, at that. Any one of the 3 of them would be foolish to bow out based on one open caucus (whose results have already changed) or polls that are run by liberal organizations.
If Perry makes a poor showing in SC he'll have no problem bowing out and backing one of the other two. Patience!
To: BunnySlippers
Do you believe that the truth, in contradiction to historical fact, is that Gingrich has no record as Shield stated?
Or should Perry or ANY OTHER supporter be allowed free reign to spread lies?

Anyone but Obama. Or Hillary. Or any Marxist Democrat. If you really mean that, you have to include Mitt Romney in that no-go list. He's the same as the other two, but with a slightly different label.

To: naxetevitan
what conceivable reason can he [RPerry] have for continuing on at this point?
Because he lives (and may politically die) by the creed that’s been deeply ingrained in us since we were knee-high to an armadillo: Remember the Alamo! Remember Goliad!
It’s stupid; I know. And hard to explain.
Alas, not MadIvan ;)
Posted this idea on a thread about Perry coming back:
He still has about $3 million or so in his election chest, and can spend it all in SC, where advertising rates are cheap. That’d be a lot of ads attacking Romney maybe?
I know, a politician being altruistic - ridiculous. I just like and respect the guy a lot. I don’t think that is beyond him, especially not in this case
Small side note: Could whoever runs the Santorum ping list add me please.
To: Jim Robinson
I’ve not yet decided who to vote for when the CA primary comes around. Perry looked promising, but fizzled as you stated. Cain had much appeal, but was destroyed by the Obozo thuggery machine from Chitcago. Palin . . . still hoping there is a future for her. At this point in time I’m looking at Gingrich and Santorum. Huntsman - NO. Paul - HELL NO! Romney - I prefer not. God, please let our nominee be someone who can rise to the occasion and get this nation back on a positive spiritual and economic track.

I am saying the anti-Perry bots are disgusting and have been deemed by Jim, no less. to be flaunting the rules.
It is that simple.
