A very flawed candidate or a Muslim who grew up hating America was going to be the president. That was clear to even those with a 60 I.Q. Unfortunately, Romney got enough delegates to win the nomination. We couldn’t stop him.

Romney had one vote in the presidential election. His wife had a vote. Each of his kids had a vote. We got Obama because millions of very foolish people refused to see what Obama was going to do. Refused to see or were to stupid to see. Some jus hated the Mormon. (Funny. They hated the Mormon more than the Muslim. That is sick.) Some hated him for not being a conservative. Some were lazy and didn’t get to the polls. Some simply had their heads up their butt because that is their nature.

Romney was a cancer but Obama was a heart attack. I chose to fight the heart attack first, because that was the immediate crisis, and then do whatever I could to stop the cancer. Some people decided to let the heart attack kill America. So instead of fighting the cancer with everything we could employ to do so, they let the heart attack kill our country.

In WW II, we had to cooperate with the incredible evil that was Stalin because we had to stop the Nazis. We eventually stopped the Soviets because of the vision of my hero, Ronald Reagan.

You should not have read this response to your foolish post because I do no expect you to understand any of it.

staggering incompetence?

Obama successfully got into position right under everyone's noses, like a mystery of iniquity.

Just realize that Hussein is a Moslem doing what a Moslem must do in the position of president of the main obstacle on earth to the spread of Islam to all men.

Spare us the your self-flattery.

You no more saw the rise of the complicit Republican Congress than anyone else.

Trying to rub others noses in “if you’d have listened to me...” isn’t just conceited and tacky, it’s WRONG as a negative can not be proven by definition.

That does sound better and quite appropriate.

I don’t know how to start a thread. The next post is about Bergdahl. He has been charged.

And I think it's entirely appropriate in a democracy to have a serious debate about these issues. If folks want to pop off and have opinions about what they think they would do, present a specific plan...the man's a walking talking oxymoron - within two sentences endorsing a "serious debate" and then demeaning those who disagree with him and might want to debate as merely popping off with their opinions - he lacks even the basic sense of respect for others and interpersonal integrity, let alone competence in leading and inspiring others to a common good.....

Even though such people are thankfully few and far between, the DNC seems to have a carbon copy lined up to succeed The One.

WTF? I joined many here in recognizing what Republicans in Congress have been doing for years. They did not fight hard enough for John Bolton. They did not fight hard enough against Ruth Bader Ginzburg or Eric Holder. They did not fight hard enough to close the border. They have let us down time and time again for years. That isn’t news.

But my post was not about the gutless Congress. We certainly agree on them. It was about Obama. Your BS about self-flattery, rise of complicit Republicans, and “if you listened to me” is deflection of the issue.

I didn’t see anything about Obama that others did not see. He grew up hating America. You knew that. He grew up as a Muslim in a foreign land. You knew that. He had disdain for the Constitution. You knew that. He had no problem with creating law with the stroke of a pen. You knew that. He was tearing this country apart over race. You knew that. He apologized for America and was determined to remove our country as the leader of the Free World. You knew that.

We saw the same things. But we apparently processed the information differently, evaluated the danger differently, and made our choice. Our country and the Free World lives with that decision the voters made in 2012.

When a person with NPD gets put under intense pressure or negative scrutiny they can be very dangerous. I am fearful we will make it to the election without CWII breaking out.

No it wasn't. It was about how none of this would have happened if more conservatives had held their noses and voted for Romney.

As for the "gutless Congress..." Hell, they WON on promising to stop Obamacare! NOBODY knew they were going to sell us out to THIS extent.

If you haven’t noticed, they have been selling us out for years.

I don’t know exactly what would have happened had Romney won. If he had, I would be in the streets and on talk radio fighting him on the many areas in which we disagree.

Since the days of working on the Goldwater campaign as a teenager, I have recognized the most important job of the President. It is to be the commander in chief. As much as I would fight him on domestic policy, I believe he would have actually been a commander in chief and not pulled this nation from the world stage. Other than Ron Paul, pretty much all the candidates in the GOP primaries of 2012 would have defended the country. Obama is unique in the history of the nation as posing a threat to our very survival. I was certainly not alone in being able to recognize such.

I recognize and admire voting out of conscience. But own the result.

Obama is exactly who, he was meant to be. What is it, with some of you? You cannot admit that evil is planned, around the grace of vile content in character. You and your friggin’ children, should have no say for 40 years, as far as establishing the Constitution of the United States of America.

Well I can’t argue with most of your points regarding Obama, but let’s face it...the press was only interested in pushing domestic agenda issues excepting “embarrassment.”

And I do commend you for your statement on voting conscience (though I was a nose-holder), but I really don’t think anyone could have reasonably predicted the level of complicity of this Congress. I truly believe the Republican brand may have suffered irreparable damage.

I don’t see this guy living more than five years after he leaves the White House.

And I’m willing to bet it’ll be due to alcohol, just like his dad.

Yes, the brand has suffered. That is why outsider Trump is doing so well, even though he has never had bona fides as a true conservative.

The press cared about one thing -— advancing their narrative about the first black president. Too bad it couldn’t have been Thomas Sowell. Or Larry Elder.

(Funny. They hated the Mormon more than the Muslim. That is sick.)

Both claim to be the ONLY true way to GOD.

Any thinking person knew that.

The non-thinkers do not realize that snake in the grass in more dangerous than one openly hissing at you.
