Romney at the NRA Convention: I'm a Friend of Yours

[Hotdoger]

Jack, I'm still waiting on the math lesson. How does 1+0+0=2?

You think Perot runs didn't help Clinton?

 

[Hotdoger]

And yet you only took an issue with it with the guy you disagree with?

No I responded to the first thing I read.

 

[hornadylnl]

You think Perot runs didn't help Clinton?

1+0+0=2? I've got a bone to pick with my old math teachers.

Is Clinton's victories the fault of the voters or the fault of the republican party for the turds they ran against him? Did we lose more liberty under Clinton or Bush?

ETA: let me clarify. I was talking about Bush 2

I refuse to believe in gravity. That is a suckers game that has been proven not to work.

I'll step out of an airplane without a parachute even if I want to.

Gravity is more than a suggestion, its the law. And it has been working for quite some time. Voting for your prefered team in the two party system has not been working at all. Show me where my liberty has steadily increased in the last 100 years...then I will take your advise.

 

[Jack Burton]

We have the government that the majority of voters deserve.

You think Obama would have won if Bush hadn't soured so many voters? An unhappy voting base is motivated to vote for a change. Just like almost every othe presidential election, the populace will tire of Obama and vote in the next republican. That republican will grow government and they'll vote in the next democrat. Was, rinse, repeat.

Well, you could improve the Republican party by working with it instead of wasting your time on fringe 3rd party candidates... but that probably sounds too easy for those with a martyr complex.

 

[Jack Burton]

Wow, you cant recognize a hypothetical for what it is. A hypothetical.

I didn't vote for Obama so therefore I'm not repsponsible for what he does. You voted for romney's tyranny.

Since we are speaking of a specific election in a specific time frame with specific then why are you wasting your time trying to develop a "hypothetical".

Never said you voted for him... but you helped get him elected. Same difference.

 

[Jack Burton]

If voting for steak while the rest of you vote for a **** sandwich makes ME the the bad guy, then our country truly is doomed. And whether we collapse in 8 years or 12 makes no difference to me. The end result is still the same. You're voting for the difference. Nothing more.

Your "steak" is a pretty mirage but if you want to keep believing in fantasy don't let me get in your way.

How does the republican party treat libertarian leaning voters? They've made it pretty well known there is no room for us. The repubs hate Paul far worse than the dems do.

1+0+0=2. Einstein had nothing on you.

A person winning the presidency from either the republican or democrat party is almost as much of a given as gravity. If you want to deny that history, go ahead.

And if you want your liberty to "steadily increase" then you're going to have to work for it. Throwing away a vote on someone who is not able to do a minuscule thing to increase your liberty is up to you. Go for it. And that is my advice.

Throw in the towel and give up. That's my advice when you don't get your way. If at first you don't succeed -- quit. No sense making a damn fool of yourself.

Who's the fool? The guy that realizes he can't make ad difference or the guy who THINKS he is making a difference?

 

[jbombelli]

I won't. I'm done voting for the destruction of my country.

 

[Jack Burton]

Well, since by your own admission you're not a Republican I would say that you have no clue, and no way to buy a clue, as to what difference is being made in the party.

 

[Jack Burton]

I won't. I'm done voting for the destruction of my country.

Okay... I'll remember that and quote you after Obama become a second termer for lack of votes for Romney.

 

[hornadylnl]

Is Romney more or less conservative than McCain? Was McCain more or less conservative than Bush 2? Was Bush 2 more or less conservative than Dole? Was dole more or less conservative than Bush 1? Was Bush 1 more or less conservative than Reagan?

That's 32 years of republican nominees and presidents. Do you notice a trend with each passing one? Is it a trend you support? Is it a trend you see reversing any time soon?

Is that the fault of Romney or the voters?

Actually the real question is "were the folk you just named more or less conservative than their Democrat counterparts?"

 

[Jack Burton]

What difference does that make as long as Obama is president for 4 more years?
