I am so touched by the Leftist's here and their concern for who we run. Who would have thought they even gave a flying fuck.
If Romney gets nominated and then loses, we can look forward to interminable crying and moaning from the Right about how the GOP lost again because they didn't nominate someone conservative enough.

Indeed. Were any of us inclined to be cynical, we MIGHT take the dim view that they are hoping to influence the GOP nomination so as to get the least conservative opponent they can get to run against President Zerobama. That way, when President Zerobama inevitably loses, at least they can have a Dim-lite heading the GOP for four years.

Personally, I would not even trust them to change the TV channel with the Remote Control.
The very fact you avoided a pretty simple question about your faith shows you ain't terribly proud of it.
You have no idea what I am proud of or not proud of.
It is my faith. If you are interested to learn more, find yourself some missionaries.

Well, the problem with that is that it WOULD be true.
When Conservatives get the nomination they WIN!
Reagan won the most impressive victories since FDR. Not because he did what Romney did, check with a focus group as to which way to part his hair. He had a philosophy, and stuck to it.
Bush-43. Lots of flaws, but he stuck to his guns.
When the GOP nominates a Dole (who spent his valedictory speech in the Senate bragging about how he made government bigger, kind of missing the point) or McCain, (who never understood why the Mainstream Media stopped loving him after he got the nomination) they lose and they deserve to.
You can't be all things to all people. You can only be true to yourself. I'm still trying to figure out which version of Mitt Romney we are looking at here. Liberal 1994 Mitt or Ultra-Right 2008 Mitt or something in-between.
Yet they can never nominate somebody conservative enough, even though they claim that the majority of the country is conservative.If Romney gets nominated and then loses, we can look forward to interminable crying and moaning from the Right about how the GOP lost again because they didn't nominate someone conservative enough.

Yea...we feel really bad about forcing you to run McCain last time

A paradox!
Or more likely: they are full of shit.

I am afraid that what you say is all to true.
I can't stand being at political meetings (which are 90% about abortion) and hearing how many are on our side.....
And I sit there and think that while I believe many people have lots of conservative attitudes, they also get pretty disgusted with the hard-core, take-no-prisoners attitude.
I want things to be conservative at the federal level. I get more moderate as things get closer to home. If I want more government, I want it at City Hall....but I digress.
No paradox. There are not so many total conservatives that they can rule the world, or even Alaska.
Property
"This term in its particular application means 'that dominion which one man claims and exercises over the external things of the world, in exclusion of every other individual.'
"In its larger and juster meaning, it embraces every thing to which a man may attach a value and have a right; and which leaves to every one else the like advantage.
"In the former sense, a man's land, or merchandize, or money is called his property.
"In the latter sense, a man has property in his opinions and the free communication of them.
"He has a property of peculiar value in his religious opinions, and in the profession and practice dictated by them.
"He has property very dear to him in the safety and liberty of his person.
"He has an equal property in the free use of his faculties and free choice of the objects on which to employ them.
"In a word, as a man is said to have a right to his property, he may be equally said to have a property in his rights.
"Where an excess of power prevails, property of no sort is duly respected. No man is safe in his opinions, his person, his faculties or his possessions.
"Where there is an excess of liberty, the effect is the same, tho' from an opposite cause.
"Government is instituted to protect property of every sort; as well that which lies in the various rights of individuals, as that which the term particularly expresses. This being the end of government, that alone is a just government, which impartially secures to every man, whatever is his own.
"According to this standard of merit, the praise of affording a just security to property, should be sparingly bestowed on a government which, however scrupulously guarding the possessions of individuals, does not protect them in the enjoyment and communication of their opinions, in which they have an equal, and in the estimation of some, a more valuable property.
"More sparingly should this praise be allowed to a government, where a man's religious rights are violated by penalties, or lettered by tests, or taxed by a hierarchy. Conscience is the most sacred of all property; other property depending in part on positive law, the exercise of that, being a natural and inalienable right. To guard a man's house as his castle, to pay public and enforce private debts with the most exact faith, can give no title to invade a man's conscience which is more sacred than his castle, or to withold from it that debt of protection, for which the public faith is pledged, by the very nature and original conditions of the social pact.
'That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where the property which a man has in his personal safety and personal liberty, is violated by arbitrary seizures of one class of citizens for the service of the rest. A magistrate issuing warrants to a press gang, would be in his proper functions in Turkey or Indostan, under appellations proverbial of the most compleat despotism.
"That is not a just government, nor is property secure under it, where arbitrary restrictions, exemptions, and monopolies deny to part of its citizens that free use of their faculties, and free choice of their occupations, which not only constitute their property in the general sense of the word; but are the means of acquiring property strictly so called. What must be the spirit of legislation where a manufacturer of linen cloth is forbidden to bury his own child in a linen shroud, in order to favour his neighbour who manufactures woolen cloth; where the manufacturer and wearer of woolen cloth are again forbidden the economical use of buttons of that material, in favor of the manufacturer of buttons of other materials.*
"A just security to property is not afforded by that government under which unequal taxes oppress one species of property and reward another species: where arbitrary taxes invade the domestic sanctuaries of the rich, and excessive taxes grind the faces of the poor; where the keenness and competitions of want are deemed an insufficient spur to labor, and taxes are again applied by an unfeeling policy, as another spur; in violation of that sacred property, which Heaven, in decreeing man to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow, kindly reserved to him, in the small repose that could be spared from the supply of his necessities.
"If there be a government then which prides itself on maintaining the inviolability of property; which provides that none shall be taken directly even for public use without indemnification to the owner, and yet directly violates the property which individuals have in their opinions, their religion, their persons, and their faculties; nay more, which indirectly violates their property, in their actual possessions, in the labor that acquires their daily subsistence, and in the hallowed remnant of time which ought to relieve their fatigues and soothe their cares, the inference will have been anticipated, that such a government is not a pattern for the United States.
"If the United States mean to obtain or deserve the full praise due to wise and just governments, they will equally respect the rights of property, and the property in rights: they will rival the government that most sacredly guards the former; and by repelling its example in violating the latter, will make themselves a pattern to that and all other governments."
Founder's Concept of "Property"--Embracing All Rights--Not Merely Things Material
Here is something from James Madison I stumbled across last night.

And your messed up, freakish cult would stay the hell out of politics, I'd be perfectly fine with that.
As long as you stick your nose into it, expect me to take a two by four to it.
If Romney wins and has either Rubio or Cain as VP, Obama and AxleDick will begin the process of registering football players,trees,pets,statues,some dead or soon to be dead people, and 2 Million Vibrators. That should be enough to win all three Tri-Fector States.

This is going to be a cage match.

I'm in Elmhurst, Queens, which I affectionately refer to as Purgatory on a normal day, and Noah's Ark on a good day. We represent more Countries than the UN here.
