“They were abortion, protection of religious liberties, same-sex marriage and tax cuts.”

Wow. That says it all.

You want inspiration? Glenn Beck for Prez!

Actually, something called “K-Bob’s” is our closest salad bar delux now. Sizzler became a fizzler, but the name recognition fit the point.

I could have, instead, used a metaphor like, “that group is a like a six-pack of near-beer: all volume, no content”, but the Romney supporters would not begin to understand…

Dat’s why they say all politix is local, I guess…

I respect your opinion. As you know, most in this forum agree with your position on this issue by the way. For me, I would have preferred the “Democrat in Republican clothing” over the “Socialist in Democrat clothing”.

Just my take.

PS…there is a difference between a persons chance of being elected is small (McCain) then a person whose chance of being elected are non-existant.

I’m with you, WD. I want someone who will inspire, excite, and galvanize the 10-headed hydra of conservative opposition to the Oba-wan. No pet ponies or heir apparents just because you’re next in line.

Sizzler is all closed up and gone where we are. All we have is Garbage Corral and Hoss’s (a regional joint).

gotta disagree, Brian.

We are not electing a party representative. We are electing the person whom we feel would be the best POTUS.

I am an individual. I usually vote Republican. If I feel the best candidate is not a republican, I am not voting republican.

I would have voted for either Huck or Romney (or Paul), had they won the republican nomination. McCain? No Way. He’s a democrat in republican clothing (kinda like Bush). That’s why I voted for Barr in the final election.

IMHO, it is a greater waste to vote for a lesser candidate, than to vote for a better candidate whose chance of being elected is small, just because he (or she) is not a member of one of the two larger parties.

This candidate line-up is like the buffet table at Sizzler; all good, but nothing worth fighting over!

And if people would have woken up and voted for someone who would uphold the Constitution Paul would have had 60% of the vote.

Woo hoo! If all the Mormons in the country vote for Romney (assuming equal distribution of non-registered and registered voters), he’ll have 1.7% of the vote.

In other news, Mitt Romney won a straw poll taken among conservative Mormons.

If this is as good as it gets then there is only two places it can go, straight up, or sideways.

I voted for Huck during the Texas primary, mainly because he was the only one left running against McCain at the time. Mrs. Shackleford voted for McCain.

In Retrospect, we should have both voted for Hillary.

I agree with you Jason. Unless Jerry rises from the grave the Huckster will get the religious vote.

I’m rather blase, myself. No one really jazzes me right now, but I’d vote for Palin in a heartbeat.

My sympathies are with the religious conservatives on many of the above stated issues. The problem I have with the conservative “social” voters and the conservative “economic” voters is that when their “candidate” does not win they pout and throw tantrums, thus guaranteeing that it will be a Democrat that will be making both the “social” and “economic” decisions.

I beg! I plea! Make your arguments, donate your money, go to the rallies, etc. etc. for whatever candidate you believe in the most….during the primaries. But, when the nominee is chosen, it is imperative that we put our support behind that person. We cannot afford (literally) two terms of Obamanomics, Obama-Foreign Policy, or Obama.

I like Huck. But, if the audiance of his bad show is an indication of his support…..well….the old white vote is locked in…not sure who else will be.
