Hello,

I would ask that all of us vow to fight on, unfortunately with what we have to work with. Truth is, the left does that each day, week, month,decade and century. I am just about to turn 47, and the ability of the left to take a little here, a little there, more later has always amazed me. They look at the end game, we don't. Perhaps we need to.....and continue to educate those that simply don't get it yet.

Still a slave, unless millions of us keep fighting...

You mean you will vote to oust Obama, and install a pro-choice democrat socialist in his place.

Romney’s role, if elected, will be to consolidate Obama’s socialist gains.

Not something I’m willing to empower or be responsible for. Thanks.

Do you really think Obama might beat Romney in Texas if you don't vote for Romney?

I’m feeling a lot better about my vote for Ron Paul in the primary right now.

I did my protest voting in May when I voted for Newt.

Can you show me something to support that theory?

You seem perfectly capable of doing your own research, no ones stopping you.

Did TR's proposal serve as the model for Obamacare?

Right

Pawlenty calls it Obamneycare because Romneycare gave birth to Obamacare.

Come on, who cares what Tim said in the primaries.

Obamacare was going to be created regardless of Romneycare. The perfect storm of Obama and his majorities in the House and Senate allowed it's creation. Socialized medicine is one of the main goals of the left. Ted Kennedy was working for national healthcare since the Carter Administration -"the cause of my life", he said. "Teddy can rest now" remember that phrase?

Salve

Because I know Mozart, doesn’t make me Mozart.

It is muzik to people ears, when it comes to sit down and realize delusion from illusion, and fathom facts, now we have a different table of disagreement.

See friend, many disagree and agree, if it is in proper methodical way, debate is resolve yes or no. Once abated it becomes emotional...there is no longer debate.

Merci.

OK, Jim.

It’s your site and your call how to run it.

But there is nothing conservative about avoiding the truth.

Yeah, and now you have it, courtesy of Republicans.

So why are you avoiding it? The truth about Romney came straight out of his own mouth in Massachusetts.

Right. Romney Republicans are beyond reasoning with.

All they’ve got is abject fear.

Did you listen to the videos linked for you in posts 169 and 172? I really don’t know how anyone can view those videos and conclude that it’s important to choose between Obama and Romney. It’s a bit like choosing between water and H2O.

You deserve better. Vote against both of them.

Except he’s wrong. Tax bills only need a simple majority. No need for sixty votes.

The thing that I see are a number of folks moving on to what is possible to accomplish given the circumstances.

I am not trying to determine what was in their heads— but we need to deal with the situation as it is.

I have faced the reality..that I have a choice between Obama and Romney.
The reality is third party candidates don’t have a chance.
My fear is that some conservatives will stay home and pout and we won’t get enough votes downticket for our conservative candidates.

Notwithstanding, that’s still a whole lot of ‘ifs.’

And, don’t forget, Romney says “Repeal and Replace,” which, translated, means “we can do socialism better than Obama.”
