be prepared to be afred.

 

[St.Blues]

Well, what do I know? I was predicting that Pawlenty would stay in after Ames just hours before he dropped out.

I still think that he had about the chances of Bachmann or Huntsman, and better than Cain, Paul, Gingrich or Santorum, but I guess he made a different valuation about the benefits of staying in the race. He also seems to have been actively running since sometime in 2009, so maybe he's just tired.

I agree. I didn't think he'd win but I didn't expect him to drop out this fast either. I'm guessing there was private polling he faced up to going into Iowa that the results confirmed. He also had the dumbest line in the debate I heard when he chastised Bachman for being a poor leader by not having stopped Obamacare. A member of the House? Please, what a moron.

Pawlenty ran out of money.

I believe Tim was Genuine.. He just doesn't have the look or charisma to capture and audience and keep it.

I like Ron Pauls ideas to some degree but he's old and appears to be frail.. He will be an influence of the nominee's election though.. it will be an important factor and greatly appreciated by the right.

if Newt can control himself I think he would be our best candidate.. He's brilliant and understand exactly what has happened past and present. I doubt he stands a chance though.. Romney is a dead head.. zero pizzazz..... he shoveling sand against the tide. Thank god because he is a RINO.
Perry scares the hell out of me... He's a Texan who is very Friendly with Bush...
I want nothing to do with that asshole, he to is a RINO and paved the way for Obamas election.
Santurum maybe okay, I'm not sure.. I like Michele.. I trust her to tell the truth and do whats in the best interest of the nation here and abroad.
Cain is a great guy.. I'd like to meet him.. He maybe a good VP choice of the winner..
Huntsman is a China man sellout and not a conservative at all, no matter what he says about himself.
Its early.... we stand patiently. No matter who gets in I hope to the the incumbents voted out across the country, win a majority in the REP house and Senate as well as the Presidency. Maybe then we can finally do away with the Liberals and their useless agenda of the destruction of the country.

The media doesn't report on left wing flip floppers? Was I dreaming the Kerry/Bush race?

The liberal media made some references to it generally as how it's a harmless, amusing personal foible that has nothing to do with anything. But follow up or hold him accountable for it? Yes, you're dreaming.

Got any examples? Which liberal media sources have been "over reporting" on Romney's considerable flip-flops?

Can you name an issue that Romney hasn't flip-flopped on?

Are Kerry and Romney comparable flip-floppers? Anyone got a side by side?

Did you read my original post you responded to? I said Romney IS a flip flopper. I didn't say he's not. I said that unlike Kerry they actually hold him accountable. I've also said I don't want the media to go softer on Republicans, I want them to hold Democrats to the same standard. At this point I'd take their holding Democrats to any standard.

A Measure of Media Bias

educate yourself, you fool.

You can read a liberal study rationalizing that liberalism is truth and therefore it's not biased to report the news with a constant liberal skew

or

You can watch the news and see the overt liberal agenda.

"watch"? You can only be referring to one network

Agreed. CBS, NBC, ABC, CNN, PMS-NBC. They are all the same liberal skew network.

I don't think Bachmann will get the nomination, but given how badly the Community Organizer has screwed up the economy, the GOP could run the Cheney/C'Thulhu ticket and win at this point

I think Romney could lose. He's another free spender in the W, McCain mode. He contradicts himself which unlike when Democrats do it the liberal media will report. And the Left who preach tolerance will once again demonstrate they have none scaring people about a Mormon becoming President. He's getting it relatively light right now from the left and their military wing, the media, specifically because they want him nominated. They even try to help with the innuendo they are afraid most of him. Clearly they are not given how hard they are working to get him nominated.

Romney could lose. As could all the Republican candidates.

This election is going to be about economic competence, not about who is the freest, most conservative candidate. Romney has a huge amount of credibility on the economy. Perry does as well, given that Texas has done well over the past decade. But Perry sort of reminds one of a Texan John Kerry. Ron Paul is certainly unique but he doesn't look nor sound the part, and won't get the nomination.

You realize I was disagreeing with the post that said any Republican would beat Obama not supporting it, right? Obama's in serious trouble for the reason you point out, his lack of economic competence. But I agree with you that at this point there is no Republican candidate who is an an automatic win. It's too long to the election. Clinton was on life support and then the Republicans nominated Viagra Bob. The Republicans proven ability to nominate their worst candidate is Obama's best shot at this point.

Two different effects of the same cause

I think Obama is very vulnerable. Which is why I'm surprised the Republican field is weak.

 

[Divine Wind]

Agreed Obama is vulnerable, but his reelection is like the story of the two hikers in the woods who see a bear several hundred yards away which starts running toward them. One hiker drops down and start switching his hiking shoes for running shoes. The other hiker says "Are you crazy? You can't outrun that bear!" The first hiker says, "I don't have to outrun the bear, just you."

All Obama has to do is stay ahead of the Republicans to win.

The Republican field is weak because we're in the middle of a Civil War in the GOP between traditional conservatives and religious-fanatics who believe in "Big Government" as long as they get to call the shots such who can marry whom and tell other people what is moral according to their own standards.

 

[ShackledNation]

Santorum next, please. What an embarrassment to Catholics.

I basically agree on your statement about the current split inside the Republican party. But I'm not sure I agree that having an actual debate in the Republican party makes them weaker then the mind numbing homogeneity of the Democratic party. The Democratic party drove Lieberman out for disagreement on one issue. And yet he caucused with them and kept them the majority party when he alone could have switched control to the Republicans. There is no discussion, no dissension because you will be expunged from the party. That group think makes them unresponsive to everything going on around them. You see that in spades as they are unable to react to anything going on in the economy other then continued blind faith in socialism even as it repeatedly fails.

Why is it that women are so repugant to Democrats? Hillary, Michele, Sarah. How do you ignore half the population and claim not a one is worthy of leadership?

They loathe strong women unless your name is Boxer or Pelosi and a ditz to boot.

Who didn't see that coming? Even though Pawlenty's team came up with one of best campaign commercials of all time, his campaign never got very far off the ground. He was reduced to tugging at the pant cuffs and skirt of the other candidates to get attention.

...I like Kucinich. (but I have realistic expectations)

I like Mrs. Kucinich. Mr. K? Not so much.

Kookcinich is married to HER???? Damn! Lib whacko gets VERY lucky I guess.

If you run Bachman you will seal the history of just how insane this current republican party is and your sound defeat in the next election.

I don't think Bachmann will get the nomination, but given how badly the Community Organizer has screwed up the economy, the GOP could run the Cheney/C'Thulhu ticket and win at this point.

I'm not sure who is the lesser of two evils in that picture ...

Why am I not surprised that choosing between Cheney or an pagan elder god of destruction and death would be a difficult choice for a lib?
