Owner59 -> Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/5/2012 6:37:06 PM)

"Prominent conservative leaders want their rank and file to quickly get behind a single presidential candidate — Rick Santorum now seems the likeliest — fearful that persistent splits will help Mitt Romney win the Republican nomination.

"While no political candidate, or human being for that matter, is perfect, Rick Santorum's baggage contains his clothes," CatholicVote.org president Brian Burch said Thursday, after Santorum's virtual tie with Romney in Iowa won the support of the 600,000-member online organization.

"Republicans hoping to win back the White House in November must unite behind the candidate most dedicated to the foundational issues of faith, family and freedom."

Romney narrowly won the Iowa caucuses when conservative voters split their support among several challengers, and the worry is that the same thing will happen in South Carolina, Florida and beyond if Rick Santorum, Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry all stay in the race.

"Conservatives are still divided among a number of different candidates, but the field is winnowing," said former Republican presidential candidate Gary Bauer. And, he said: "I certainly think that Senator Santorum is in a good position to inherit a lot of that support."

When JFK was running for president, people were afraid he would become the Pope's puppet in the US.  Why is nobody concerned about that now?

Not much choice.  Huntsman and Romney are Mormons, and Santorum and Gingrich are Catholics.  Perry and Paul are the only alternatives still in the race.

Actually, I think it has much more to do with the fact that many evangelicals have adopted Catholic dogma.

They certainly don't like birth control any more than Pope Adolph does...




mnottertail -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 7:12:35 AM)

What happend to Scott Walker for President or Scott Brown for President.

They are all the republican rage.  Why not get a loser you can live with? 




Moonhead -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 7:25:27 AM)

Scott Walker? I loved Scott 4...




Lucylastic -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 8:26:52 AM)

Isnt Brown in the doghouse now?




mnottertail -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 8:35:16 AM)

Yeah, as so often happens, turns out he aint a REAL republican.   They get caught in that alot. 




Lucylastic -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 8:37:15 AM)

Well thats the excuse they will use if Romney wins the candidacy. For sure.




mnottertail -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 8:38:01 AM)

Why are the teabaggers so afraid to front a REAL republican?




cuckoldmepls -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 8:55:45 AM)

The answer to your question is that the general population has been brainwashed to believe that more government is the answer. I believe we've already had $15 trillion too much government haven't we? Most people will not vote for a true conservative including myself. Although social security is technically unconstitutional, I want it for myself someday too. The bottom line is this. We can't afford big government,  social security medicare medicaid, and a strong national defense. Of the 3, I would eliminate big government.

Btw, if you want to get under evangelical leaders skins. I would support Romney. It will drive them nutts.

Personally I think they are using the wrong set of dictionaries for their definitions
They should stop using the drama llama version as seen often wandering these halls.
They are republican but not conservative enough to be teapartiers, or too conservative bordering on batshit, then batshitinsane then fundy right
A bit like them not knowing the difference between liberal, democrat, socialist, marxist, leninist, communist etc etc *they never get those right either:)
But hey thats just my POV [;)]




mnottertail -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 10:21:25 AM)

How is Social Security 'technically' illegal?  Any credible 'technically' illegally oriented citations on that?  




cuckoldmepls -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 10:29:58 AM)

Ever heard of the 10th amendment?

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."

This means that 90% of the laws and agencies Congress has passed and created are unconstitutional. Which explains why we are $15 trillion in debt.




cuckoldmepls -> RE: Cons: Time to rally around a not-Romney....Ouch!! (1/6/2012 10:35:44 AM)

Where they are confusing you brainiacs is they go ahead and pass laws and create agencies that apply to all the states, then after the fact, they say it falls under the ICC clause.

i.e., they are doing things that are unconstitutional in the first place, then claiming it falls under the ICC clause after they passed the law or created the agency.

Yeah, so you dont have anything on it as I was pretty much assured of out of the gate.

You might go see Music Mystery since he is an english teacher and slip him some decent bucks and have him diagram this sentence for ya:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.
 
In doing so, you may come to a conclusion of the meaning of that clause, which you do not hold at present, apparently thinking it an artifact from some other constitution of some other planet.

In a representative government, for better or worse, your elected representatives are vox humana, but moreso vox populi.
