    I'll bet I'm more conservative than you, only without the bad con part.

    The 'Anybody but Obama' psycho-mantra says differently.
    Then who was the entire con nation stamping their feet demanding, pleading, freaking, that he PLEASE RUN! for? Christie was your great white whale that got away.

    Yep, them. The ones who will be stuffing your silly words back down your throat as they show you how to spark a real revolution.

    First, I thought you were talking about Michael Moore but then I saw Chrisitie's name. But, then I read that Gov. Christie was the last, final, and best shot the Republicans had at winning the presidency. That's when I realized that the author was developmentally disabled. Poor thing. He's doing the best he can.

    And, on the far left, we have Rachel Maddow's Boy King, Barack Obama.

    I never thought Christie had a chance so I'm not surprised that he opted out. I think the GOP primary will be between Perry, unless he implodes, and Romney. The questions about Mormons may push people towards Perry, the questions about corruption may push people towards Romney. And it will be interesting to see what position spoiler Ron Paul serves regarding the GOP front-runners come election time. I don't think he can win, but I think he might split off the people who might vote for Romney and put Perry in the lead.

    Welcome to the comatose forum, CherryWood, maybe you can reinvigorate it with more common sense and decent input.
    It really is a fun quandery the hate crowd has managed to hiss it'self into, with Perry falling like a rock with an anchor pinned to it, and Willard Romney's dirty little secret of a second family being hidden away somewhere..., not really but the way things are going, can it be too far off?!, what can the cons possibly do but continue gnashing their fangs and con-taminating the world even further until their '16 dreamdate?

    Make sure you have your lap cam on and facing you directly as the results come rolling in a year from now. And invest in Kleenex stock...

    Ron Paul speaks clearly to the issues if you have more than 30 seconds to listen. Problem is, that is about the amount of exposure he gets a month from the MSM. And the most of you form your opinions without research. So you hear Bill Oreilly say he is a kook and that is good enough for you. So you deserve the future that your apathy brings!

    ConBgone really is simmering in a pool of hatred. It's sad. He's doing the best he can, too, poor thing. The real question is, would ConBgone recognize common sense or decent input. I think not.

    Can anyone read ConBgone's post above and not think there is something seriously wrong there?

    Thank you for the welcome. You are very perceptive, I suspect. I agree that watching the GOP primary race is rather amusing.

    I've been watching the Perry thing, particularly. He shot straight up and it looks like he put a burning cigarette to his own helium balloon and is shooting straight down again if not exploding, but... I wouldn't count him out necessarily.

    In this particularly masochistic and anti-intellectual period of America's downhill natural stage of life as a nation, Perry might indeed be what best represents the majority of Americans. I can't say it speaks well of us, really.

    To Romney's credit (and I could be wrong), I think he is sincere. Incorrect, but sincere. Mormonism is a bigger deal than religion regarding Romney's approach to finance, it is an integral part of the religion which is inextricably connected to power and profit-making and inherently pro-supercapitalist.

    Perry is simply an unethical crook with nice hair.

    If I had to vote for one over the other I suppose I would choose Romney simply for not being a corrupt thug.

    What was the thud from? him falling down on dancing with the stars? He looks like Chaz Bono, and Chaz fell down a few times and made a thud.

    I find myself liking Christie more and more and more today.
    along with Tim Pawlenty and even that old Carter guy.
    Soon Bill Clinton will be on board..
    and 65% of Americans.

    I was watching PBS Newshour the other day and is it true that the "Taliban like Tea-party" Religious fundamentalist fascist Right wing ,don't think Mormons are Christian???

    Is it rue that a Republican Candidate for President of the former greatest nation on Earth is being attacked because of his religious beliefs!

    When is the Republican POLITICAL PARTY going to expel these Religious Bigots Taliban like thinkers of the Christian variety?

    Mormons are as christian as they come they are not a sect and I will defend their right to freedom of Religious expression because on principle even though I disagree with Religious God Nuttery ,an Individual has the RIGHT ,thats Democratic right to be a Religious nut of his or her choice!

    Can someone in the Republican Party start at least supplying some cover for the Tea-party Fascist Wing?????

    Or has the mighty Republican Party of Abraham Lincoln decayed so much as to be a Christian Fundamentalist Fascistic Party,TOTALLY!

    Has OBL's dreams of God nutters ruling the world now come to be in the USA ?

    MORMONS ARE NOT A SECT THEY ARE A LEGITIMATE CHURCH,nutty true but no more then any other "Faith" believing human!

    Expel the Tea-Party from the Republicans or Lincoln's heritage is dead!

    I grew up in the Baptist church, a good one, and there was no way Mormons were considered anything but to be avoided at the cost of burning in hell for all eternity.
    The book of Morman is just as crazy as the Bible. Neither should be allowed near our political arena. And the WASPs will never allow a Morman to be prez, even at the cost of giving Obama a 2nd term.

    I'm really not seeing what makes this "scandal" a big deal.

    Many Protestant denominations don't regard Mormon's as Christians.

    So what?

    Why are we so concerned of what some religions think of other religions?

    This war has been boiling under the surface of America for over 100 years, and now it's being forced to the surface via politics. And there will be an explosion soon about it because it means the con votes will be up for grabs or tucked away, and Obama get's the win.

    I disagree that Mormons aren't Christians. They are. But as you noted, there is considerably more to LDS than a belief in Christ, however good or bad that fact is. I don't think most Americans will feel comfortable with a Mormon in the White House.

    If Obama wanted to do everybody a favor he would step down and let some other (real) Democrat run. He's Bush III, nothing more or less, and the only good thing about his Presidency is that it kept Palin out who would have been worse. Barely.

    I think his entire election and the use of Palin to drive votes towards an unknown entity is suspect, particularly when followed by his actions as President. I enjoy conspiracy theorists but don't generally agree with them. However in this case, the One World Government people might be right that the entire election was a set up and the American people haven't had anything but the illusion of a free vote since Clinton and maybe not even then.

    Naah. There's not religious pot getting ready to boil over in the US. If anything things are more chill than ever. Compare now to a century ago.

    I think this is a non issue that is politically, not religiously motivated. The media wants to try to gin up opposition to Romney by evangelicals. The coverage is both overblown and superficial. They want to paint a theological disagreement as a matter of bigotry.

    In the time it takes for you to become Big Mike you'll have a differing perspective.
    But Romney's mega-man flip-flopping record and lies will be haunting him greatly once he's the nominee, so that and his cultism buries him.

    As for Cain, his 999 is worse than 666, it's all about killing medicare and medicaide.

    These top 2 will probably combine as prez and vp for the cons shot, and is currently their best shot, but their powder is wet.
