how can one ignore such a reasoned intelligent response

By being so open minded. it took a long time for you to compose and think out

And longer time for you to get it - I go easy on the learning impaired.

Wow that would be funny if it were not so pathetic.

There is an old saying that Figures lie and liars figure. The first part is wrong, figures don't lie, but there are people like you who try to use figures to distort.

But your attempt was so lame a 3rd grader could see though it.

I see that you didn't mention your absurd claim that Romney would be lucky to get 40% of the vote. It was a comment that was so far from reality that I understand you trying to pass.

But I'm still willing to make a wager with you about the accuracy of that statement.

Pathetic attempt on your part to deflect from the utter absurdity of you first post.

Oh......and one more thing, Earthdweller, don't you dare get in our way here in Ohio as we work our tails off to get rid of big government, statist, Marxist Sherrod Brown, and replace him with Tea Party Conservative, Iraq War vet, pro-life Josh Mandel.

I will not engage in conversation with you if you do that to those of us who are conservative activists.

Nope. I won't. :)

My points have been made. Your continued lies about me cannot change that.

“Your continued lies about me cannot change that. “

I didn’t realize I had lied about you.

Let me see....you don’t like Obama and you plan to vote for Romney....where am I wrong? I don’t recall making any other statements....other than the fact that by voting for Romney you are giving your consent to his record and positions.

I certainly didn’t accuse you of being an Obama supporter...like you did me. I did accuse of you of being melodramatic.

“I am obeying your command and shutting up.”....I guess you never found any of my posts that would support your accusations about me.

Thanks for stopping by.

Your post does not deserve a response. You are so wrong on so many levels and you and I have long passed discussing anything civilly. Have a great weekend. I know my husband and I will....for the record, never have I suggested I am high and mighty.

Axelrod does not think beyond his taskmaster’s second term. I do. That is the difference.

Parties wane and parties grow, if they can break through the cabal of the media. 18% is a number that cannot be denied a microphone. The Romney/Obama tandem, — and tandem it is — effectively denies us that microphone.

Further, if already with the microphone conservatism cannot garner beyond 18% then there is no point prolonging the agony: while America still has some fiber left, America should see what unconservative policies would bring. We are practical people. Maybe we need a practical lesson.

Obama gave us the Tea party. Not bad at all. Maybe we need more Obama?

I cannot figure out why would anyone with conservative convictions want Romney. Didn’t we have enough centrism since 1988 already?

I believe that you are right, ohioWfan. I have wondered if Obama is God’s warning to us of what we are in danger of losing. That unchecked evil can so easily destroy what your son and mine, and millions of others, have fought and died for. Right after George W. Bush was declared the winner in Florida, my much younger hairdresser said to me “I see the hand of God in this election”. She was so rigt. Only He knows what would have happened if Al Gore had been our President on 9/11.

A re-elected Obama will use countless Executive Orders and probably hundreds of Czars accountable to no one but him, Czar in chief, to run around and over Congress. The EPA will issue rule after rule to bring down our coal, oil and gas industries. We have already seen the beginnings of this. This man without a past, who was never vetted by anyone and is praised and adored by the media even as he spends trillions of dollars bankrupting the future, must be defeated. we must humbly gather together and pray that God will open the eyes and hearts of people, that they may see and work to defeat the evil around us.

Like the primary voters had no say?

You might want to read up on what the Ruling Class Machine for Romney did at many caucuses this primary; Cook County machine thuggery. Our vote was severely diminished in many ways including outright machine strongarming, silencing protest of unannounced rules changes to hand Romney unearned delegates. Along with that we had the Obama media pushing for Romney as the frontrunner and only 'viable' candidate from the moment he announced. Add Rove, and the sphere of "conservative" columnists and pundits pushing Romney and attacking every single Conservative in the field from Palin to Gingrich in conjunction with the Obama media, Conservative voices were deliberately drowned out.

Then given I recognize machine politics from my days as a precinct Captain in NW Suburban Chicago, we will never know the amount of fraud that this entire election cycle is rife with.

How about money somebody gave millions to Mitt! If they thought Mitt wouldn’t win they would not have backed him.

How about the millions to McCain? He didn't win. How about the millions to Gingrich? He just hung it up. Money does not always necessarily pick winners, although it does help keep a campaign going.

Sometimes money is put up for a fighter to win his bouts, but in the final contest, he is told to take a K.O. for the bigger interests.

You are exactly right, GoldwaterChick, and don't you find it amazing that anyone who is a conservative is willing to ignore the very real threat to the future, to the very survival of this country and enable him to be reelected?

I received an insult from Earthdweller above (who lacked the courage to insult me directly, and I'm sure will not have the guts to respond to this either).

The accusation was that I am part of the GOP Establishment issuing vain threats about how dangerous Obama was.

What he, in his abject ignorance, actually doesn't understand is that the GOP-e is the group on the right side of the aisle, who doesn't understand the threat of Communism and the thugocracy we are now enduring, which will get worse with another four years, while legitimate Conservatives do. The Establishment Republicans just think it's about political control, and not the very survival of this country. They don't take Obama seriously, and agree with Earthdweller that warning about Obama is ridiculous.

Any time you listen to the Establishment Republicans you hear the same "Obama is no big deal" that you hear from the very vocal minority here.

The Establishment Republicans, the Marxists and the minority nutcase pseudo-cons on this forum are all in lockstep that Obama is no big deal and that bringing up the danger he poses is political posturing.

So Earthdweller, the inside the beltway GOP, and David Axlerod and Jay Carney are all on the same page, that we, who are legitimate conservatives and praying for the survival of our country, are just blowing hot air about how bad Obama really is.

It's like we're in the Twilight Zone, GC, but I too, am praying that God will open the eyes and hearts of people so that we will ALL see the very real evil of Barack Obama, and work to defeat him.

I flush turds, the mittbots inspect them to see which one is better to eat. There is no talking to those who have an appetite for turds. The liberals did the same in '08, now it's their turn to do the liberal thing.

I have a no liberal socialist turd policy. Romney and Obama both fit in that category.

Yep, let them fight amongst themselves as they are all hell bent to go over the cliff together.

Oh...the horror! What's with you...you insecure or something? If not, then just let it rest.

You would like that - don't show that JEFF HEAD does anything deliberately wrong - after all he's been here 14 yrs - he privileged. And in liberal form - he questions me if I'm insecure and I should give it a rest because he wants to do as he d*mn well pleases and not be held accountable - a la clinton style - 'because I can'.

What a piece of Romney work you are! Turn around WHAT YOU DID wrong on the one you wronged. You definitely have a common thread uniting you and Romney.

And now comes the Romney twist about you being on a public board - that is NOT THE TOPIC, you NOT pinging me when talking about me in your whole post is the topic. The Romney twist dance in action - changing the topic when he couldn't answer what was the TOPIC.

What you 'normally' do? How about what you DELIBERATELY do - that's intent and comes from the heart. And you speak about manners after what you just did. The Romney twist game won't work on Obama - he'll look like the retard he is - as is ANYONE who mimics him.

you are obviously too intelligent to fall for Smith’s lies.

Well, he proved that to be false. So what 'appears' obvious isn't always true. And that is what deception is all about.

Thaks for another BUMP.

Re-read Post 436, particularly the part about courtesy, respect, and how people act...then read all the name calling, accusations, judgements, etc., etc. you have made on this thread alone. Maybe you'll get the picture.

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

Or not...your choice. But I do thank you for continueing to BUMP this thread.

Ah yes I'm dismissed, I expected something like that as a way of covering your distortions.

You claimed not many Representatives were supporting Romney, when in fact a significant number, about 43% and growing, were in fact supporting him. Falsehood number 1.

Then you claimed he would be lucky to get 40% of the vote, which history clearly indicates that barring a significant 3rd party candidate, he would get significantly more votes than you said. I believe you even know this is a not only a significant distortion but a major one. I offered to make you a bet on that one.

So you have been caught in two significant distortions, of course one might also consider them lies.

And your response is to call me names. It's pretty clear to anyone who reads this which one of us is truthful and which one is not.

Have a good day, I will.

We live in an area of townhomes with with many former Soviet Union owners; people who lived in rentals, worked very hard, saved their money and are now homeowners. In fact almost every home that has come on the market in the past few years has been purchased by this particular group. It is a very desirable neighborhood especially for young families. Each home is meticulously cared for; these people are fierce in their allegiance to the United States and refer to themselves as “we Americans”. I feel a special tie to them since two of my grandparents came from Ukraine.

Every single one of them is bewildered by the turn America has taken. They all say they lived thru the horrors of Communism and Socialism—it is why they risked everything and came here with such hope for the future—freedom and the ability to achieve a successful life on their own. We are amazed by their children who are high achievers in school, respectful and responsible and friendly.

One came to our door the other day for a second time—a high school assignment. He was asking for our opinions on the Vietnam war; we were amazed this is actually being taught in our local high school. We would like to meet his teacher. His earlier assignment had been our reactions to 9/11; the emotions we felt, etc. His parents are from Azerbaijan(?(—his mother has a master degree in English)—they are so incredibly thankful that they were able to come to America. When we heard that “go home” words had been sprayed on their windshield, my husband advised them to notify the police. They were amazed that when the police came that they were actually concerned about the incident—other neighborhoods had reported similar vandalism. Where they came from people were afraid of the police. They are holding on tightly to the American dream. I’m sure they are praying very hard that the dream does not become a nightmare.

All these parents cannot understand why Americans would stand for the policies toward socialism of Obama when they have failed everywhere else. And don’t they understand that they are in great danger of losing their rights and their liberty, that day by day the Govenment is controlling more and more, issuing orders of what is not permitted? A couple not allowed to build on property they bought because it is in wetlands, with water nowhere in sight. A young child being told the lunch her mother lovingly packed for her is bad and must be replaced by what the Government deems proper. The majority wishes being overturned by one disgruntled citizen who doesn’t like what is being done or said.

Wake up America, the land of the free and the home of the brave, before you are only a memory.

I add my thanks for the BUMP to Jeff's comments, and for the reminder to check out his link.

Jeff is a patriot, a thinker, a solid conservative, and filled with common sense and rational thought.

You, on the other hand.......

BRAVA for that beautiful post, my friend! Thank you!

Those who have come from the Soviet Union and from totalitarian governments, see what the Obama administration is doing, and recoil in horror.

He is making America into the same kind of place as the countries they fled.

But, again, to some freepers, it's no big deal. He's just a 'turd'.......not a villain.......not an anti-American totalitarian.

And once again, I truly believe that these people are few and far between among conservatives.

MOST of us get it. Those who don't just scream loud.

Full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing.
