The Republican Nomination For President: The Race For The Race For The White House

Hi Finn



Had enough of a sad? How many times do you have to post your disdain for anyone who doesn't agree with you?

Never more than once, unless they respond in kind.
I kind of agree with you, but the lack of enthusiasm with which conservative A2K members post about this is telling. Are you happy with how the nomination is going? Who's got your vote right now?

I'm enthused about a meaningful discussion (even one which comes from a negative perspective). I am not enthused about responding to endless postings of political cartoons and gratuitous and hyperbolic criticism of the candidates.

If you've read my posts on this thread you would know where I stand:

Anyone but Obama

None of those running are my ideal candidates

Romney seems to be the best bet to beat Obama

I don't want to see Gingrich win the nomination.

I guess you folks abhor a vacuum.

You know, if there aren't any conservatives posting to this thread, you don't have to fill it up with tripe.

Once again you have missed the point: I'm not complaining about lack of activity, I'm complaining about idiotic activity.

I'm still certain it will not be Gingrich vs Obama. Newt has plenty of time to implode, and he will.

Yah, I think so too.

I dunno if anyone has noticed, btw, but Huntsman is getting significantly more play than before, by a group of pundits who are desperate to get a guy up there who could really beat Obama in the general.

The right to bear arms is not about hunting.
It's not about target practice ... The right to bear arms is a political right
designed to safeguard freedom so that no government can take away
from you the rights that God has given you, and it was written by people
who had spent their lifetime fighting the greatest empire in the world
and they knew that if they had not had the right to bear arms,
they would have been enslaved and they did not want us to be enslaved
and that is why they guaranteed us the right to protect ourselves.
It is a political right of the deepest importance to the survival of freedom in America."

staged in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania.

In view of the effect of the No Fly zone in Libya I would say that the speech is anachronistic rubbish designed to play for a soft-headed audience. The right to bear arms is now a business proposition. "Freedom in America" is a very fuzzy issue.
