Obama's apology did NOT calm things down! His apology gave fuel to those rioting. They are now claiming that the most powerful man in the world has, through his apology, given credence to their claims that members of the US army deliberately disrespected their holy book. After all, the President of the US would not apologize for the actions of his military if he did not believe they were at fault. I hope is just one more example of his inexperience and lack of leadership ability and not something much worse!
The article is 100% correct. I volunteered for my local McCain headquarters and before McCain announced Palin would by his running mate, we had to take phamplets home and copy them on our own dime so we would have something to hand out when the occasional person walked through the door. We had no house signs, no phamplets and only two phones for making calls! We truly feared that McCain was going to lose all but Arizona...and you can be guaranteed that the Obama campaign was counting on that massive win to give him a mandate to get started on his fundamental transformation of America! But the day he introduced Palin to the country, people fell in love and they brought in checks and stayed to help. We eventually had to turn volunteers away.
The day McCain returned to DC, things fell apart and we knew he would lose. We were all convinced that if Palin had been on the top of that ticket, the GOP would have won by the same landslide they did in 2010. It is disgraceful what the GOP has done to this wonderful woman!
Ron Paul is never going to be president. And he has already told his rabid supporters that HE knows that, so why don't YOU know that? He is only trying to get as many delegates he can, so that in the case of a brokered convention he will have some power over the eventual nominee. I suspect he will try to trade his delegates on the basis that his son, Rand Paul is put in the VP position...or perhaps he is looking for a place on the nominees cabinet. He has already told you that he will NOT be president, he is just staying in to satisfy his massive ego and gain some influence in DC.
Ron Paul is NOT TEA party! He had nothing at all to do with it coming into being nor did he support the movement, nor was he ever invited to show up at any of our meetups! He sat in his little DC bubble and ignored us when we marched on DC. TEA party began with Rick Santelli and was furthered by Basso on youtube. And Sarah Palin has been very adament that she DISAGREES with Ron Paul's foreign policiy nonsense. She always says something nice about all the candidates, but she has not and never will endorse or vote for Ron Paul!!!!
This is just one more step towards government provided and paid for abortions. First, the cost of all the Obamacare mandates is going to force massive numbers of employees to pay the fine, rather than provide insurance. Now this will force all Catholic insitutions to drop their health insurance and pay the fine. All of these people are going to be forced to turn to the government run health insurance pools which are going to be more expensive for those who pay, but those who make up to $80K will be eligible for subsidies. In turn, this will force the majority of the nations health care costs onto those who make MORE than $80k per family (not per individual). This is going to lower the number of couples who marry and remain on "government paid" insurance. Foks, there was a VERY good reason this was forced down our throats and the reason is REDISTRIBUTION of wealth. This man CANNOT be given another term!
Absolutely Fox leans towards Romney! Even Cavuto, whom I have always respected, has trashed Gingrich. I have quit watching Fox because of this. If they want to get behind Romney, I have no problem with that...but do it honestly and in the open.
And Romney will say anything to anyone in order to get elected. He told us this himself. He is the one who claimed he HAD to run on a more liberal platform in order to be elected in MA. Now he is doing the things he sees as necessary (including raising money for conservative candidates) in order to get the GOP nomination this time. His record shows that he was a very bad governor in MA and we have no clue what his real role was in Bain or even in the turn around of the Olympics. We know he is good at raising money and we know he will say whatever the voter wants to hear...that's about all we know for sure.
No, the TEA party does NOT want Ron Paul! He has had nothing at all to do with the TEA party movement! He has not supported us, has not given speeches or offered endorsements to our candidates. He did NOT start the TEA party, it was started when Rick Santelli went on a rampage on the floor of the stock market and then followed up by Bob Basso who called for tea bags to be sent to the White House. Ron Paul was not, is not and will never be part of TEA party!
Check with your state laws before you even bother going to the polls in the general to write his name in. Most states do not even look at write in votes, they are just discarded. In VA, unless the candidate has declared himself a write in candidate at least 10 days before the general election, any write in vote will just end up in the trash. And if Ron Paul declares as a write in candidate, he will be handing the election to Obama. Would you really write in RP's name, knowing his ego was so large that he chose to run as a third party write and hand the election to the worst president we have ever had?
