BTW I agree that his time has past even though I supported him.

However, as long as he is giving money to and helping good candidates I will keep sending money.

My meaning was that your time has come and gone…thanks for your contribution to this point but we need to move on to a stronger field now!

I can see how you read that and I’ll go back to sucking on my shoe now!

:>)

My issue is that we’ll never stop the Democrats till we stop our guys from colluding with them! We’ll never stop the Democrats by electing Romney who is only a dim shadow of them. We’ll never defeat them till we can get the Republican Caucus in the Senate to not put Arlen Specter who opposes the party on it’s judicial philosophy as chairman for the Senate Judiciary Committee and ditto other Senators who oppose our agenda heading up committees where they oppose us!…or putting John Sydney McCain who agrees more with Democrats than he ever did with his own party as the Nominee for POTUS. We’ll never make any progress against the Democrats while we have back biting gutter snipes attacking Palin and other good conservatives from the shadows with the tacit endorsement of their bosses and Party leadership. We’ll never make headway against the Democrats until we deal with the political fifth column in our party who formed themselves into a group dedicated specifically to undermining and stopping the 1994 election landslide. Whose goals are stated without apology in their founding documents and statement of principles and happens to have their public faces those very Senators that sould us out on a near trillion dollar stimulous package! .

Am I overly obsessed with the squishes in this party and do I spend too much time attacking them?….Maybe….but I have no intention of stopping just because you’ve had your fill…if you don’t like what I have to say…then don’t read my posts and ignore my thread posts from now on!

If Romney is the placeholder…then we’ve got Problems and not just from me but from the millions who think like me that Romney is a continuation of GW Bush and GHW Bush and Gerald Ford before that

I’m not so arrogant as to think I’m never wrong…and I’ll take my lumps and acknowledge it when someone justifiably pins my ears back…but my memory of dbecraft is that he’s of the school that teaches one Republican is as good as any other and having the numbers is all that matters regardless what those we elect do!

seriously…if you do the same thing over and over again…why would you expect a different result…in other words…if you keep on electing Republicans who are complicit in…and insist on…passing the democrat agenda in the name of “bipartisanship”…why would you expect anything to be passed that doesn’t help Obama forward his agenda…

This is enough to make my head explode!

Let’s look at Mitt Romney for an example.

Mitt Romney ran for office (not only for Governor but also for U.S. Senator earlier) as pro-abortion and even pro-gay rights. His “Romney-care,” which is bankrupting the state of Massachusetts, is virtually identical to “Hillary-Care” and may actually even be a little bit to the Left of Obama’s healthcare plans. Moreover, Mitt Romney won the Michigan Primary by promising an “auto bailout”; and this before Obama, Pelosi or even Bush got the idea. Indeed, it was Mitt Romney who was pushing McCain to come out in favor of the bank bailout: If John McCain had come our against the bailout and championed a more free market-based solution, he would have won.

In fact, comparing Mitt Romney and John McCain, McCain does not look so bad. I think the finest moments in John McCain’s political career was when he opposed Romney’s “auto bailout” plan in Michigan and Crist’s “Federal catastrophic hurricane insurance” in Florida. Moreover, I think McCain was correct when he accused Romney of supporting a “timetable for withdrawal” in Iraq before it was clear that the siurge was working.

Yet, for all this, Mitt Romney currently polled as the front-runner at CPAC!

Conservatives deserve to lose!

And the fault is not with Mitt Romney. The fault really isn’t with any of our politicians: they are just politicians who are pandering for our votes. The fault is with us conservatives, because we keep giving them our votes when they are not conservative.

Indeed, I think those of you who are arguing for “closed” primaries are way off. Personally, I think “open” primaries have their advantages and should remain in the GOP nomination process. But for those who still want only “closed” primaries and think they would result in something better, just look at this straw poll. This was at CPAC, ladies and gentlemen. This straw poll was conducted amongst — and ONLY amongst — the so-called “hardcore conservatives” that would be part of a GOP “closed” primary.

And a squish/fake like Mitt Romney still won!

The problem is not “open” primaries or even our flawed candidates. The problem is us!

Seriously though, I do find it amusing that you try and mask your complete ignorance with ad hominem attacks and other argument-shattering tactics. But alas, such is the way of the weak-minded. But hey, sure, let’s bring the discourse down a notch:

It truly would be a waste of time to go point-by-point in your ridiculous list and illustrate your ignorance and intellectual dishonesty on so many issues, not to mention embarassing for you. Let’s just skip it, and when you’re ready to discuss subjects with a shred of intelligence instead of insults and blanket generalizations (that end up being false), we can talk.

Until then, please continue to be the shining example of why the GOP is in the mess it’s in. Keep fighting with that same message that brought us a fantastic candidate in McCain.

Nobody wants to have anything to do with the only candidate to have never voted to raise taxes. Nobody wants anything to do with the candidate who had the economic knowledge and foresight to predict the housing crash as well as the rapid inflation and devaluation of currency that we are seeing today.

Instead, they wanted McCain, a guy who didn’t even know what the President’s Working Group on Financial Markets was, and couldn’t help but bumble and stumble his way through any question about the economy. Paul is apparently a retard, and yet Paul made McCain look like the biggest dunce of all time. So they went with McCain.

And of course, if you didn’t support McCain, you’re apparently not worthy of being a Republican. Because we shouldn’t demand better from our candidates. We should just blindly choose whoever is chosen for us.

That’s the state of today’s GOP.
