Running a candidate who ran on a platform of lower taxes, reforming entitlesments, religious freedom, picked a far right man for VP, is a successful businessman, will not cut the military, and is against Obamacare is "their own kind"?

In your la-la world I'm not surprised you find that true.

You were responding to carton253’s comment about the presidential race, and I responded to yours. You threw in Cruz. No one was talking about Texas.

And yet, in the end, you chose to support him, just like you are castigating all those who decided that Romney was unworthy of their support.

That is why you are now a Rombot. :)

“Read it and realize you are out of your league”:

Interesting. You know nothing of me, and yet you are so confident in your success as to boast about your own.

First rule of going Galt - is the same as fight club. You don’t give people the tools to take away what you have. ;)

The law comes down pretty hard on bombing these guys, but that's the only proven way to actually eliminate an abortionist, so don't get into anything that touches on that aspect lest they come to the door to talk to us.

We don't 'eliminate' abortionists, we vote their enablers out of office!

Then why are you attacking people here in Texas who did support him?

Too bad so many who claim to hate abortion failed to do just that.

Texas has the same demographics as the blue states, but yet we keep electing Republicans, but will the National GOP listen to us.....Hell, no.

He didn't actually run on the party platform.

Democrats who run as Republicans do not, as part of their nature, adhere to the customs, traditions, beliefs and language of the party.

The truth is that when a Republican runs on Democrat issues, the people will usually vote for a Democrat (in reality, the Democrats will turn out in even greater numbers to vote for their own Democrat, and not ours)

Largely...he certainly did.

Do you actually think Republicans didn’t show up and vote for Romney? The death rate among Baby Boomers is sufficient to account for missing people.

There’s a difference between some and all. Some doesn’t count when you say all.

You seem to be all over the map in your comments.

But I'm still focused on your assertion that you will never support someone who's been what you call a "tru blue Repub all their life".

Good luck with that tiny party you will be trying all your life to create.

They can't hear us over the roar of their own awesomeness... in their mind, anyway.

Hey... their guys write articles that get published. They must be special.

Meh... Lost cause, imho.

You do realize that there are multiple conversations going on in this thread, so no, I’m not all over the map ~ this is called multi-tasking. We elitists do it with ease. (/snork snork snork).

"They were warned, repeatedly."

Yup, they told the Paul Supporters to go bound sand and then dissed Palin and the Tea Party supporters. And now they are surprised they lost? Telling the base they are not wanted works every time. /s

Idiots are those with lesser intelligence.

Really?

Like that guy that picks up my trash at the curb on Tuesdays and Fridays... He doesn't speak english, so we converse in spanish.

I'm careful to say thank you to him and be polite. He may not know the chemistry and physics I know... he may not be able to make a bernaise over an open flame...

But I DAMN sure don't berate him because I'm smarter than him.

I need him. Right where he is, doing what he is doing.

I damn sure wouldn't call him an idiot, in any language.

So... you don't need me or want my vote. That's all I'm getting.

Your comments to me are all over the place. I'm not commenting on conversations you may be having with others.

IF you simply work backwards through the thread and link my comments to you I think it will become quite clear to you that I am responding to every claim you make, and correcting you when you misrepresent what I have said ~ and BTW you do that a lot. If I didn’t say something I didn’t say something and don’t try to put words in my mouth.

You might call him an idiot if he had done something or not done something which allowed evil to reign. In fact, I would hope you would do so to try to shake him out of his stupidity.

But, Random, I no doubt would be polite to you if our relationship consisted only of you picking up my trash.

You may want to cite what you're addressing because the line of progression is lost when you jump from voting only for lifelong Repubs to bombing abortion clinics to voter fraud in rapid succession.

And, no, I did not put words in your mouth. You did that to yourself.
