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

Bachmann - Not out?
Perry - Not admitting he's out.

Love it. And I must say that this directly mirrors everything I read on Conservative sites across the web.

Well, reciprocally: I love that.
The heart of Republicanism and the reason for the existence of the GOP is conservatism.
Without us, it is nothing, with no purpose.

For that reason, I doubt that Romney has much future in it.
Maybe he 'll become a Democrat, as John Lindsay did.

Well, that may be so; but surely you realize that this is going to present
a major problem for the upcoming electoral campaign for your side.

Apparently David (godIdolovehimso) suffers from the same kind of selective (and amnesiac) memory that so many contemporary Republicans do. What did he say? That the GOP was the party of American Original ism? Who's he kidding?
The term "Originalism" referring to a theory of Constitutional interpretation was only coined in the 1980s.

And it will, hopefully, be forgotten about two weeks after Scalia is has gasped his last.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum is quickly becoming familiar with the front-runner scrutiny machine: A day after this break-out performance in Iowa’s Republican caucuses, he came under fire from the country’s leading civil rights organization for comments singling out blacks as people whose lives he would improve without using “somebody else’s money.”

In response to a voters’ question, Santorum on Monday was discussing the Medicaid program for the poor and disabled when he commented, “That’s what the bottom line is. So I don’t want to make black people’s lives better by giving them somebody else’s money. I want to give them the opportunity to go out and earn the money and provide for themselves and their families.”

In a statement Wednesday, the NAACP President Benjamin Todd Jealous said, “Senator Santorum’s targeting of African Americans is inaccurate and outrageous, and lifts up old race-based stereotypes about public assistance. He conflates welfare recipients with African Americans, though federal benefits are in fact determined by income level. In Iowa for example, only nine percent of food stamp recipients are black, while eighty-four percent of recipients are white.”

Hilary Shelton, the organization’s Washington Bureau director and senior vice president for policy, said, “This kind of statement is harmful because it places blame on struggling Americans due to race rather than the institutional, economic and political forces that cause high unemployment and poverty. It is misleading for Senator Santorum to imply that Iowans or Americans of any race would prefer to live on government subsidies, which average only $133.79 a month, or about $4.50 dollars a day.”

So I read somewhere John McCain endorses Mitt Romney saying he will "restore the nation." That's exactly what Obama has been doing! It's just taking longer than expected because the damage done by Bush was far worse than anyone anticipated. I also love the Republican buzzwords like "restore" and "take back" the nation. Yes, crazy white conservatives think America has been "hijacked" by the black guy in the White House.

that it had been hijacked away from its proper philosophy
as the Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave.

You aren't free at all, Om. You are all duped into voting for TweedleDum {Republicans} or TweedleDee.

"home of the brave", absolute bullshit. Bombing the hell out of innocents from high in the sky, from huge ships offshore; paying proxies to rape, torture and murder innocent men, women and children.

That's not bravery at all.

I support separation of Church & state.
