I’m a black, 42 year old, red meat conservative firefighter here in Austin Texas who: 1) Has listened to rush daily (all 3 hours on ipod and streaming audio) since 1990 2) Enmeshed myself in realclearpolitics.com, heritage.com, freerepublic, wsj.com, glenn beck and all the fox conservative shows (Greta doesn’t count) the last 10 years 3) Has an extensive war chest file cabinet full of various conservative news pieces and blog posts on multiple current and past events (ie keynesian economics, obamacare, clinton taxes, obama deficit, global warming farcical data, and pro life issues) 4) Has a twitter page following approx 25 conservative bloggers and columinst (reggieta is screenname) to further stay informed.
I grew up in Oakland California so I now the disaster of democratic city management and state rule. Texas is bad ass compared to the basket case called California. And I know the backwards destructive voting patterns of the black community blinding voting for Democrats, regardless of it causing there very own demise.
I want to get this clown Obama out of the white house as much as the next conservative. But these Freeper attacks on arguably the most likely general election republican candidate (Perry) are hilariously stupid. The focus is the economy dummies and ya’ll are doing the democrats work for them by taking the dirt road into issues that won’t be the big focus in 2012. Even Rush said this on last weeks show. The Far Left’s goal is to get the focus of ya’ll off the main issues and into the weeds on interesting but ancillary issues. I know this is primary season but it’s all rediculous to see. And if the candidate isn’t Palin no one else passes the sniff test. Really!? (I loved Palin dearly in 2008 but she has squandered her chances starting with when she quit her governorship. I’ve concluded she’s all about getting attention now more than being a viable candidate. When she quit the governorship, she quit the chance to be president. PERIOD.)
Just a question. Who in the hell are you going to vote for....Romney and his Romneycare? Really? And Cain and Bachmann with their general election numbers in the single digits. Yeah...they’ll get the nomination. Let’s not be stupid people.
First....grow the hell up. No candidate is perfect. I’ve been in Texas since 91. Seen Perry up close for 10 years. He’s the real deal. Definitely has made mistakes but is no GW Bush (ie spending).
So do this for me. Either agree to back and vote for Romney or shut the hell up. Because neither Cain nor Bachmann nor Paul (for you Ron Paul wingnut borderline cultist) are going to get the nomination. Perry ain’t perfect but IMO he’s no McCain nor GW Bush and definitely no romneycare Romney. And for the record I think Romney is a disaster because he can never attack Obamacare since it was modeled after Romney’s very own state plan
Now, you petulant children can go back to slinging mud against a most viable Texas candidate. Clearly it makes you feel better. In the end, you’ll vote for Perry in the general, or even Romney, because he ain’t Obama. Where are you gonna go? That’s what I thought. So what’s the whole point of this psuedo-intellectual exercise on these posts? Sheesh.
I hope you don't mind the abuse coming your way.
Beautiful post, the whole thing.
Thanx!!
