From what I read it sounds like she will do very good tonight.

As we’ve seen in the middle east the high tech military weapons do little against regular old guns and gorilla type fighting.
It will never change. So yea, what people have in their gun cabinet could fight the military if it came down to it.

“I would be in it already if I could have. The Surgeon General isn’t going to grant me the first medical waiver for a lethal food allergy because I asked nicely and REALLY REALLY want to join.”


No need to worry on that, I understand ya. I was just taking a jab at Mittens.

Never give up Shadow, you are an intelligent person. You are the kind of person that has made this country great.

Wishing you a great future.

Sounds like an excellent speech...I already teared up. Ann is lovely and a class act...I would be proud to call her our First Lady.

Several years ago on Free Republic - a FR sidebar Poll asked:

“Which person would you prefer to be President of the USA”

Fifteen percent (15%) taking the FR poll picked:

Hillary Rodham Clinton

Now add in the Ron Paul bunch

Toss in some pro and amateur volunteer stealth sleepers from the radical left

Add a few pinches of losers that think they can do things better than anyone else sitting on their butts on the couch with a cold brew in their hand

Now shake well -

You now have a typical FR thread of sour sore losers that would rather have Obama for four more years once again

Unlike Ann who has helped her husband campaign on abortion, and who has given money to Planned Parenthood, as her husband fund raised for them, I didn’t even know Laura was pro-choice until the left office, and unlike mitt Romney, George was always pro-life, Laura never had to do campaigning supporting her husband being pro-abortion.

The most aggressively, most passionately, most convincingly pro-abortion republican we have ever seen will be running the nation if he wins.

Okay, I get all that, but what choice do we really have right now??? For all the talk and threats and warnings over the primary season we STILL got Romney! The people DID speak and it is him or Obama. There IS no other choice. We already know that Obama and the libs will pull every dirty trick they have in their arsenal to win and we cannot afford to NOT vote for Mitt. I voted for Dole halfheartedly. I held my nose and voted for McCain. I will have to drag my sorry butt to the polls and reluctantly select Romney and be happy for the others on the ticket who I hope I can have slightly more assurance of doing the right thing. I just think the time for moaning and whining and pouting and screaming is past - we MUST evict Obama - and if it means voting for Romney, we must.

We can afford four years of Romney with a strong Senate and House to keep him in check. We CANNOT survive four more years of Obama. That is the "Sophie's" choice we have this time.

Trying to figure the possible outcomes and what the candidates stand for and how strongly they stand for the issues.

Abortion:

Obama is for it and for killing a baby that survives an abortion.

Romney says he is against it. He may have been for choice at some time, but now says he is pro life.

—Of those two who is the worst when it comes to their stance on abortion?

I think Obama is hands down.

No one is going to win this election besides either Obama or Romney, period. Not Goode, Paul, johnson, or anyone but Obama or Romney.

You all can’t possibly be more in favor of Obama winning than Romney, can you? Look we all missed out on a more conservative candidate because we were all pushing our favorites and not solidifying behind someone that could take on Romney. So we are reaping we (collectively) sowed.

What now? Vote for Obama? No. Vote for no one? A lot of freepers are talking this nonsense. Vote for Goode? Sure go ahead if you want some more Obama. How about this...

Vote for Romney, vote for your conservative senate and house candidates, and reload once Obama is out of the white house. You understand what I am saying?

Anything but voting for Romney at this time is helping destroy this country more. Once Romney is in office, form a 3rd party, take 4 years to get it going and blow the doors off the democrats and republicans in 2016.

But if we have Obama for another 4 years, there will be many old people that will die, never seeing America turning the corner to a brighter future, worse yet, they will possibly see Americans take up arms against each other.

People that are coming of age will never know America as we have know it in the past. It will forever be changed, for the worse, if Obama gets another 4 years. Either by civil war or just having to spend 20 or 30 years undoing what Obama has done to us.

My advice, Who cares, right?

My advice is to get Obama out, then tack hard into 3rd party. 4 years will be enough time to get it together, without the RINOS or Dems. But we need that time to do it.

Voting as you wish is one thing, but sane people cannot do a Soviet like rewrite of who the Romneys are.

If you are reading FR threads, then you are seeing a deification of this couple, with Mitt, it is heroic rescues and deeds of love for his fellow man, with Ann it is similar.

If people want to vote for the disgusting left-wing couple, then they can hold their nose and do it, but we cannot remain thinking people, and conservatives, if we try to force ourselves to believe an Orwellian fantasy as reality and accurate history.

At worst, moderate who may even do some conservative things on occasion (like nominate Paul Ryan). Romney is not perfect, but he's the best chance we have in the circumstances. The level of ad hominem hatred of Romney and, apparently his wife, here at FR is unseemly.

LOL, quite a plan you have there, vote for Mitt Romney, then start another party to add to the existing 53 political parties, to fix it.

It’s posters like you that have chased me away from FR for the most part.

You are so blinded by your ‘holier than thou’ stance, that you can’t see evil when it smacks you in the face. The 0bama administration is evil through and through, as any thinking person sees on a daily basis.

Your stance enables the re-election of 0bama and insures 0bamacare WILL become the law of the land. How many will be dead because of your self important purity? Is your last name Akin?

You just don’t know Mitt very well, your ignorance does not make the rest of us ignorant of who he is, and of his life story, and of his lifelong politics, and his lifelong hostility to conservatism.

Many of us here have been learning about him for at least 6 years.

Hey bud, I've been there. In 2008 I graduated when the entire bottom fell out of the economy with the banks crashing and the impending election of this ass clown I went underemployed for 3 years. It sucked I worked a lot of jobs I didn't like I couldn't break into marketing because all the jobs from that sector was gutted. I have to tell you FRiend that those three years were the toughest three years of my life.

This does have a happy ending though, I recentlly got a job four months ago in marketing in a startup that's booming and I'm doing what I love. I had to start my career at 28, but hey I'm doing what I love and I'm with you and others who want to have a future by voting this commie out! You are in a much better spot than I was when I graduated you're like what? 22? You get to start your career in your early 20s I had to wait. Better days are ahead of us, btw if you want to freepmail me for tips on getting hired and the job search feel free to FReep mail me. I got some great unconventional tips that I'm willing to share that got me a job in three weeks, when I got fired from a job and needed to pay the bills. I'm willing to share my tips and help you, hang in there. Never, never, NEVER give up!!!!!

I had to laugh out loud at that statement. You've been learning for 6 years about Mormons and we've all been LIVING the economic nightmare that is 0bama for 3 1/2 years. Huge debt, forever debt that will only get worse with four more years of the 0bamanation. Gas and food at unreal prices. But, you stay pure, dude. It's your duty.

I had to walk away from this. I don’t care for her that much.....she seems to talk too much in some interviews too. I heard her say Mitt bought her a ‘hot red dress’ today. ICK!! Now I heard she’s baking cookies....wants to talk to us about Love. Then they gave her the obligatory Hurricane isaac prayer notice and also the ‘I lOVE WOMEN” barf comment. It’s too obvious/fake to me. Hope Christie is better.
