i guess there's gonna be a lot of write in candidates this election....
Sarah could single-handedly change the entire direction of the presidential campaign by tomorrow, if she chose to do so.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe there's any campaign rule that precludes a candidate from announcing his choice of running mate before he's won the nomination.
That is exactly the sort of boost that Newt needs right now. And I do mean right this very minute. I just hope that Sarah herself understands that she's still got that sort of pull with the voters.
Given our dismal prospects at the moment, I can't believe that she isn't painfully aware that she's got this crucial and powerful move just sitting there for her to make. The fate of an entire country is an immense weight to have hanging over one's head, but she's the one who put herself in that position. She's one of those rare people who have the right stuff, and chose to serve.
So is it preferable to kill one with a suction pump or wait 5 min and drown them?
Seriously, which do you prefer?
I prefer the person who’s going to cause the least amount of human deaths by abortion.
YES YOU WILL GIVE YOUR CONSENT TO A LYING TYRANNICAL LIBERTY KILLING BABY MURDERING BASTARD!
You have made that perfectly clear, no stutter.
Then how can you vote for a man who put McDeadBabies on the $50 Massachusits abortion menu?
A zot so hot it serves as a precursor of the hellfire to come...unless Magritte repents!
Thanks for posting the link.
My biggest concern after the next election is who gets in and what potential we have to influence the new potus. IMHO, we will not influence ozero at all.
I think differently about Romney.I think we have the potential to influence what he does.
Will it be 100% of the time, 70% of the time? I just don't know.But I do surmise that we have a better chance at doing what we do best here on FR of leading the horse to water with Romney than with ozero. Just my opinion.
Well said but your clear and correct logic will fall on deaf ears in this den of groupthink, groupthink and lemmings running over the cliff.
But I intend to do exactly as you are saying.
“GO Pee!”
LOL. Good one :)
So...you're telling us if both of the regional concentration camp commidants during the Nazi Germany era were both running for public office, you'd vote for the one who had the lesser "potential" for an overall body count, eh...
Oh............kayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
(And we wonder why the Republican party is in trouble)
.... and continue to pack your form letters in the crease until further notice.
No, they're not making the harder, yet more correct choice, which is to refuse to accept either of the choices the ruling class establishment is giving us.
Such people didn't found this country, yet all their lives they've enjoyed the bounty the Founding Generation bequeathed to them. They prove themselves unworthy of that inheritance, and shame their forefathers who sacrificed every manner of comfort and ease to give them what they have.
Now is not the time to play politics as usual. It's time to strike the colors and spit in the tyrant's eye.
I take it that is your opus.
well, bye.
Yes. We have done so well with Bohener. He goes out of his way to fight Obama tooth and nail. Bo, hardcore conservative that he is, we KNOW that he will fight even harder to rein in the liberalism of his Party Boss once elected.
Because that’s what the record of this congress is. Giving no quarter to liberals and holding Obama to account.
They stood strong on all that financial stuff and we are on the road to recovery!
They reined in Obama when he went to war in Libya, stopped him from sending guns to mexico and fired Holder,
In fact, they did so well stopping corruption in the regime that Leavenworth even built a special room to house Obama!
Oh wait...they didn’t do any of that. But they will when Romney gets in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well said but your clear and correct logic will fall on deaf ears in this den of groupthink, groupthink and lemmings running over the cliff. But I intend to do exactly as you are saying. [billva]
Whatever "influence" you think conservatives corporately could possibly have upon Romney, it's not even a fraction compared to the Mormon "prophet" and the Lds general authorities who could encourage Mitt to operate as a mere Mormon "puppet." Don't think so? Keep reading...

There are, or will be moments when prophetic declarations collide with our pride or our seeming personal interests...Do I believe in the living prophet even when he speaks on matters affecting me and my specialty directly?
