Re: A Real Race?
Well they have if they've read this thread, since he was on my list in the OP
Been so long since I read the OP. Thanks.
Does the nutty wing of the party have to win?
Well that seems to be what everyone wants, including the Republicans.
The Republicans offered us McCain last time.
And McCain offered us What's-Her-Twit. Good god, even the moderates have the disease!
It seems a pipe dream but it would be nice to have a competent moderate from the right emerge. Someone without horns and fangs or that "What?" look in their eyes.

Osama - oops I mean Obama, fooled America with YES WE CAN bytes. I wonder what slogan will apply in 2012 to further desecrate the oval office.
I'd like to see a team up of Bachman and Bolton in the WH as America's restoration. The Dems will never again get up the next five decades.

I am surprised you didn't suggest Palin/Bachmann.

Hell with that pair it's unlikely the human race would be around in five decades.
The greatest threat to the world today and the continued existence of the United States of America is any one 0of the current Republicans getting elected.
Never have so many incompetents be gathered into one grouping.

Anyone so limited that they can only spell a word one way is severely handicapped!

Please, do tell us HOW EXACTLY any republican potential candidate would "restore america". I don't want talking points, I don't want to hear fear mongering about what "the other guys" are doing. No, I want specific policies the republicans have in mind and why EXACTLY I, as a lower middle-class American, should vote for them.

Q: WHEN WILL US BEGIN TO RESPOND FOR 9/11?
I'll be first to admit how the Repubs stuffed up when Bush went to the Taliban hills instead of turning left to the terror HQs he called America's allies. This was a spewing event, and history shows the result of this grotesque event. But hey - the Libs would have been worse! We have Osama - oops I mean Obama, bowing at an acute angle before mafioso Nazi style regimes, chanting how allah akbar is the most beautiful sound he has ever heard.

Re: Q: WHEN WILL US BEGIN TO RESPOND FOR 9/11?
Yeah, when will we begin to respond to 9/11? It's been nearly ten years and no-one's done anything about it at all.
Me, I think it's time to start looking for Osama bin Laden. Maybe we should invade Afghanistan too. What do you think?

I presume that if this was written in English it would be wrong.

If Afghanistan is seen as a victim the finger must point to the dictator regimes which produce Bin Laden dolls in its factories. These are illegimate rulers and should not be allowed to control people, land and resources.

They are probably talking about getting the black out of the white house.
There's another possibility, though. They could nominate candidates so extreme, that Obama is re-elected with a Dem majority in both houses. That could be the way to restore America.

I'm not sure that making dolls counts as an act of aggression. Not unless the dolls come alive after midnight and seek blood.

Re: Q: WHEN WILL US BEGIN TO RESPOND FOR 9/11?
Pretty sure I requested you, specifically, to give me a direct answer free from hyperbole. As is typical with conservatives, all you have is hate speech and fear mongering.

This is a question that I asked in my thread How Does Republican Platform Help Middle Class? I never did get an answer to that. What I got instead was "LOWER TAXES . . . for the rich" and "NO MORE EPA GUIDELINES . . . for huge corporations". I would really love to hear how Palin is going to help those lower middle class "Mamma Bears", and actually be specific instead of trotting out the old worn Republican one-liners.

The fact is, IMO, they do NOTHING for anyone but the super rich. All they do for regular americans is provide talking points. I have encountered a couple people recently who, in talking about other things (we weren't discussing politics), mentioned essentially how "democrats are gunna take mah guns away". One was my building manager: an 80 year old man who I had no intention of discusisng politics with. The other was my dad's friend who said "there's too many democrats for me to carry my guns down the street".
It appears as though people that vote republican see ONE point in which is important to them that the republican party stands for and vote based on that. Regardless of how true or false it is. For example: "democrats want to raise my taxes!" or "democrats r gunna come to my house and take mah guns!".
This is why it is so surprising to see why people like Coyote stand up for them..... It really seems as though the only people anymore who stand by the current conservative crop of politicians are Fox News viewers.....
