what was AP saying about NH recount whackjob conspiracies?

I smell the dreaded double standard.

The lack of respect McCain was shown by Romney is similar to the lack of respect Romney will show his constituents once elected.

lol

GIGA LOL

my the Fredheads are testy…I like Fred but is he above 4th place anywhere?? stooping to defending McVain’s honor to poke holes in Mitt’s victory is rather DUmplike.

I am losing respect for many previously esteemed commenters here.

Fred! is pretty much dead, unless he pulls off an upset soon he is a goner. I like the guy, he’d make a great Prez or VP, but reality bites.

Finish the point. The lack of respect McCain was shown by Romney is similar to the lack of respect Romney will show his constituents once elected.

I will finish the point. How could Romney be any more disrespectful than the issues McCain pushes: amnesty for illegals and all the perqs that come with it, global warming, McCain Feingold, waterboarding as torture, increased cigarette taxes to fund ads against cigarettes, voting against Bush tax cuts….twice. I think I’ve missed a few, but you get the point. I concede that it is possible for Romney to be more liberal, but with McCain, it’s already a given, so why even go down that path?

(I do give McCain credit for his issue with “pork barrel” spending, however.)

I am pretty sure I spelled COJONES wrong.

I shoulda just stuck with “BALLS”.

but its late….

gumballs? I prefer Malkins. :)

James, better to know history and see the whole picture sooner than later.

I’m quite aware of the ‘tradition’ of which people are writing. Tradition, however, is just that and nothing more. We celebrate when Thompson strikes back at the media for treating him shabbily, yet Romney inadvertently steps on McCain’s speech and we all go into fits about how inappropriate it was, as if the loser of a primary campaign deserves anything more than any delegates he won there and a fresh start in the next state.

As for the rest, I made no qualitative statement in this thread regarding the political positions of any candidate. It’s pretty arrogant to ascribe ’socialized banal promises’ to anything that I wrote in this thread. (Plus, I haven’t been a ‘young’ anything for quite a while, and I’ve never even seen the inside of a daycare facility.)

But it sure sounded pretty.

Thank God.

LOL

Two inevitabilities: taxes and death.

and sex, supposedly, if you’re a Fredhead

Differentiate between Hoover and FDR, revisionist.

It wasn’t Hoover’s big government. It wasn’t Hoover’s fault that speculators did then what they do today to cause economic disaster and hardship. Hoover did not support the speculators’ demand for government bail-out. FDR promised big government programs and big spending of tax dollars. For all of FDR’s promises, though, his programs did NOT relieve the Great Depression. FDR did not save the day. WWII did that at the cost of American blood and sacrifice.

Thanks to FDR’s big government, for starters, we all pay social security that will not be there for us. Federal bureaucracies took hold, never to be relinquished, never to perform well, either, UNLESS conservatism is upheld.

Two inevitabilities: taxes and death.

And it worked.

That author is very biased – discussed on HA last night.

Your existence matters now as much as ever, if not more.

Young adults raised in “childcare” facilities have yet to learn their nursery tale lessons and Aasop’s fable morals. Even limiting Bible stories to the literal at church misses the larger contemporary application of the occurence.

James, better to know history and see the whole picture sooner than later. The demagogues’ socialized venue of banal promises will prove destructive, only benefitting the untouchables who are strengthened by populism, socialism, and liberalism becoming fascism.

The only barrier between the citizen and that destruction is conservatism’s placement of government responsibility at the local level for the local citizen. As it is, the federal government renigs on their constitutional duties, all the while destroying the citizen’s voice.

“If I’m president of this country, I will roll up my sleeves in the first 100 days I’m in office, and I will personally bring together industry, labor, Congressional and state leaders and together we will develop a plan to rebuild America’s automotive leadership.”

This is what people like to call “industrial policy,” and what Jonah Goldberg likes to call liberal fascism – big business and big government working hand-in-glove for the purposes of economic nationalism.

You are looking for a referee, there are no “referee’. It is not a question of who decides to conform, it is who wants to be the idiot who doesn’t conform.

right2bright on January 16, 2008 at 10:47 AM

McCain seemed to think he was ‘entitled’ to something, or else he wouldn’t have complained. He’s the one who wants a referee. I merely said that there was no referee, he’s the one who lost, so he shouldn’t expect to set the time for the victory speech…

…or to be heard at all until the next state, for that matter. Oh, wait…he was already there. Nothing about his rudeness for dissing Michigan by denying them a concession speech in person, huh?

WASHINGTON – Mitt Romney’s victory in Michigan was a defeat for authenticity in politics.

The former Massachusetts governor pandered to voters, distorted his opponents’ record and continued to show why he’s the most malleable — and least credible — major presidential candidate.

And it worked.

Michelle Malkin wants a man. A man that can say “NO!”.

And a hearty: WAAAAA-AAAAAAH!!!

PULLL-EASE!!! Get OVER your CHEAP SELF!!!

The lack of respect McCain was shown is similar to the respect he shows his base. Hope he likes how it feels.–sheesh on January 16, 2008 at 8:06 AM

Finish the point. The lack of respect McCain was shown by Romney is similar to the lack of respect Romney will show his constituents once elected. And Romney’s lack of protocol will not bode well on Capitol Hill should we be inflicted with him there.

Why watch Mitt’s mirror act of managerial leadership shatter later than sooner? Romney is like the inflation balloon; the bigger the worse for wear.

call me crazy, but i think last night was great for Thompson. it gave him more time to really start performing, kicking ass, and taking names. romney pushing mccain back prevents a clear front runner from emerging, and this gives thompson more time to perform well at debates, and get his message out.

im not saying it will get him a nomination, just saying i think he benefitted most out of everyone. he can kickstart his campaign with this, if he only would bother to try.

You have outlined what normally happens, not who gets to decide whether to conform to that or not.

James on January 16, 2008 at 9:08 AM

Tradition – but I give up/in. Everything these days is overrated. Après moi, le déluge. If you’re young, you will never know the difference anyway.

p.s. I’m elated that McCain lost, for all the reasons listed here, and in myriad other threads.

Come on!

We have so many problems we need to solve. We need to beat the liberals! Stop fighting among ourselves with this bull%*^t!
