This is true, especially if you’ve lived the past 5 years of your life trying to get the Republican nomination.

Oh look who is doing interviews with FoxNews now that Santorum is surging, who saw that coming.

It is true. If you look at the coding in the run sequence of the Romney bot, it is designed to get more Conservative over time. This is a big step in robot technology.

Alex, please close the comments and delete mine as well. The one above is perfect.

He’s right. The older you get, you tend to view people as people and not as a part of a certain ‘group.’

Liberals like to put people in groups categorized by religion, race, gender, etc. “You’re not authentically black if you are a Republican” “You hate fellow women if you are not pro-choice” “If you believe in God, you are a backwards idiot” 
Example: New York City recently evicted church groups that were having service in Public Schools on Sunday Nights when the schools are CLOSED and there are NO students present. The church groups did not have enough money to build their own church, so they paid rent to the school to have a service on Sunday Nights.
Welp, Liberals said this was unconstitutional since the school is a public space being used for religion. Who cares if a small group of people read the Bible in a school on Sunday nights? They are not forcing anyone to come listen and not forcing their beliefs on any vulnerable children. Libs just had to infringe on their belief and ruin their service because they hate religion and can’t stand anyone practicing it – even when it does not affect them. 

‘I Think Living Life Tends To Make You More Conservative’

Of course Mitt, especially when you’re not concerned about the very poor.
 

USA is currently $15 trillion in debt. Obama’s proposed budget plan will add another $1.6 TRILLION within just 1 year!!

True, Mitt. Who is not a liberal when young and inexperienced?
                Most grow up and learn and become wiser and therefore conservative.

              Even Justice Breyer is probably a bit more conservative after being mugged by reality recently.

Conservatives look at Romney and see a successful, moral, decent man with a beautiful family.

Liberals see a rich guy who has too much money and are jealous.
He’s religious, so he’s a religious nut.
He’s true to his wife and family, so he’s messed up.

 That’s funny debt didn’t matter when W were looking for invisible WMD’s

“I think living life tends to make you more conservative.”

True…if your life is boring, and you’re satisfied with that.

“Deficits don’t matter”
–DICK Cheney

Republican plans project even more debt.

Obama for the Republican nomination!

Why thank you :-)

“Liberals like to put people in groups categorized by religion, race, gender, etc.”

I bet you couldn’t say that with a straight face…. $10,000 Bet?

I think living life in a bubble where you’ve never had to want for anything, never had to worry about unemployment or making ends meet tends to make you more conservative. :)

Sure. I will take my $10,000 in denominations of 100 and 50 dollar bills 

LOL

Paragraph 1: “He’s right.  The older you get, you tend to view people as people and not as a part of a certain ‘group.”

Paragraph 2: (proceeds to put people into a group deemed “liberal,” categorizing them all by politics as if they are the same thing, rather than individual people)

I guess you still have some growing up to do? ;-)

Political ideology is different than race or religion or gender

I don’t see how political ideology is different from religion. Both are ideologies & have nothing to do with your biological makeup.

“He’s true to his wife and family, so he’s messed up.”

Is that what Newt thinks?

You know who was an old liberal? Edward G. Robinson!

Since the president showed us his birth certificate Romney MUST show his motherboar­d (and serial number)!  

So Romney thinks if you can balance your budget, you’re a conservative?  Is he using the correct definition of conservative?  There is one definition for when you are moderate or low in estimating something, that would be good for balancing budgets.  There is also another definition that is used to describe the political philosophy of the Republican party.

Come on Chops, W’s plan was to slash all spending in the govt when he was elected. After 911 his priority changed to protect us from more waves of terrorism. Should we just ignore the $5 trillion added to debt in almost 4 years under Obama? Bush added $5 trillion to the debt during his 8 years.   

Are you kidding me?

What do you consider a liberal or conservative? Let me answer: A GROUP!

Now if you said Americans…. then you would have a point but you simply compared ONE GROUP to ANOTHER GROUP! Geez.

The borg must conserve energy. 

And there is no such thing as race that is a human and not science construct.

 Motherboard… hahahahhaha

I think this is true to the extent that as people get older they get more fearful, more suspicious of things that never used to scare them, more possessive about their stuff, more critical of others’ weaknesses, more resentful of others in need, and more inclined to snap judgments and easy answers. That way of looking at the world was much in line with modern conservatism and I found that I didn’t want to evolve into one of those kinds of people, which is why I changed course.

While conservatives never ever single out groups like immigrants, gays, liberals, women or the poor and create legislation to discriminate against them. They want everyone to be treated equally, that’s why they’re so determined to fight to ensure that there is no discrimination, no special treatment for the rich, corporations, religions or anything.

If the law states that public spaces aren’t to be used for religion, then they should abide by that. The right and religious groups need to get over the fact that they aren’t above the law of the land and stop screaming persecution whenever people make them obey the same rules that apply to everyone else.

Donated by himself more money to charity than the Obama administration combined.

Believes in his family

Man, what f’n wreck.

Edward G. Robinson!

Not familiar with him.   Politician?

So basically you are saying that Obama is taking too long in fixing Bush’s mess?

You left out that he believes the Garden of Eden was in Missouri

I think thats Ryan’s plan for 2012, he hasn’t proposed one yet for 2013. 

#1. Who cares what the failed unreality personality, FBN commentator, 1/2 term, quitter, ex-governor of Alaska thinks?

#2. In Romney’s elite, insular, 1% world he is definitely bound to become more selfish, cruel, and inhumane(i.e., conservative) the longer he lives. Not being among the actual working class, working poor, and poor makes one forget what it means to work and sweat for a living. People who work and are members of diverse communities are liberals.

Now we know why liberals don’t like conservatism. Liberals live in a bubble where all their wants are actually envy, their unemployment will never run out, and making ends meet is unnecessary because big Barry’s nanny government takes care of their healthcare, foodstamps, transportation, contraception, cell phones, education/indoctrination and housing. Perfect!

I guess that would make most non-producers love liberalism, huh?

And?

Mitt’s biggest screw up was becoming a republican.

 First president in history to blame everything on his predecessor. How convenient, huh?

No the path to the Garden of Eden is through wealth re-distribution, silly. The liberal utopia is just a few small taxes away, don’t you know?

You won’t even acknowledge the numbers that Obama has produced. We will be more than 20 TRILLION in debt by the end of Obama’s second term. :-0     : ^)   :3    : (  

Sarah is not failed, she is a sensation that has come down some but still rocks. Romney errors by going after her because if he wins the nomination he will want her support in the general election. Nobody on the right gets a crowd going like Sarah.

Ah yes, every liberal wants a free ride as that’s all social programs are for, right? Help for the lazy, as every unemployed or poor person is unemployed or working in a low wage job by choice and don’t deserve any sort of help to get out of poverty.

Romney and others who’ve lived in similar bubbles all their lives have never been in a situation where they’ve seen the good these programs can do so much like yourself, they claim they’re little more than a reward for the lazy and should be cut to the bone to pay for low taxes for the ultra rich and wars. That’s the conservative way. :)

I think this is true to the extent that as people get older they get more fearful, more suspicious of things that never used to scare them, more possessive about their stuff, more critical of others’ weaknesses, more resentful of others in need, and more inclined to snap judgments and easy answers

Does this also explain your incessant chattering about “likes” ?

That’s even funnier, because one of the main reasons conservatives did not like Bush, was because of his fiscal irresponsibility. Spending like a liberal. But 7 of your sheep already thought that was clever enough. It don’t take much to fool a sheep, huh?  Wow.

awwwwwwwwwww… you guys are still upset everyone found out about your fake guest likes?

how cute? kleenex?

 Too bad none of your republican candidates wont even mention his name….

No it is not. Putting people into groups is putting people into groups, be they political, racial, gender or otherwise.

” Liberals like to put people in groups categorized by religion, race, gender, etc.”  Seriously???  Have you even been listening to the Republican/Tea party? Get out of that bubble man the lack of air in there is affecting you.

Pablo’s new sock puppet is almost more dickish than the original.

Now we know why liberals don’t like conservatism. Liberals live in a
bubble where all their wants are actually envy, their unemployment will
never run out, and making ends meet is unnecessary because big Barry’s
liberal, nanny government takes care of their healthcare, foodstamps,
transportation, contraception, cell phones, education/indoctrination and
housing. Perfect! 

THAT is living in poverty. Which is right where the democrats need their voters. In many countries living off of others is called communism. History has much to say about how well that has worked out. Ever hear of communism?

And in poor countries that would be living high on the hog, until the money runs out.

It’s so many on here.

Talk to MrPorkChops ,he claims I’m Norbit .

 Wow Valkyrie I have lost respect for your opinions on here.I have always thought you were a smart cookie but alas you are just another Simple Sarah Palin person.How sad.

Everything in context, sweetie: LOL, I know, what is context to a liberal clown?

WHEN DICK CHENEY SAID, “Deficits don’t matter,” economists took that
as proof of the economic illiteracy of the Bush administration. But it
turns out there is a case to be made that Cheney was onto something.

On the deepest level, the vice president was echoing, in slightly
exaggerated form, an idea put forward a few years ago by Irving Kristol,
the Godfather of the neoconservatives who have had such a wide-ranging
effect on Bush administration policy. Kristol wrote then, and still
believes, that “We should figure out what we want before we calculate
what we can afford, not the reverse.”

On the political level, treating deficits as a non-issue also proved a
successful strategy. After all, despite the torrent of red ink that
splashed across the national budgets during his first term, George W.
Bush was reelected by a substantial margin. Among John Kerry’s other
failures was his attempt to saddle the president with the label
“profligate.”

Which brings us to the economic level. The deficits that Bush ran up
in the years in which the country was teetering on the verge of a
serious recession had the beneficial effect of righting the economy. In
that sense, deficits not only didn’t matter, but were a force for
economic good.

Any way time to go back to work .

Sprittle , Chim Chim , Have a good day .

There is really only one thing Mitt can do to get back on top… play the Mormon card.  It’s really the only thing he’s passionate about (that and personal wealth creation) and he’s going to need some sort of passion to break through.http://mankabros.com/blogs/chairman/2012/02/07/mitt-romney-its-time-to-play-the-mormon-card/ 

 And, apparently if Ryan spends more than Barry, he’s your man?

You are out of touch. All those supposed benefits going to those lazy unemployed, food stamps, everything, in total is only 10% of the overall social welfare cost, and only 5% responsible for the deficit. Here is a link that spreads it out from the government accounting numbers: http://motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2012/02/how-much-do-we-spend-nonworking-poor

Your claims weren’t true the first time you posted them, copy+pasting them into a reply doesn’t make them any more so. :)

I think you’ll find keeping people poor and ill educated is more the desire of the right, why else would the right be such huge supporters of people who export jobs overseas and why else would you be lumping education in with what you see as expendable social programs?

It’s only America where basic social programs, public education and universal healthcare are labelled communism. Much like the right’s habit of calling people who disagree with them unamerican, referring to programs and principles that you disagree with communism lost all impact a long, long time ago. :)

That’s funny – he accidentally said “life” instead of “wealthy”…

 Romney is not “going after” Palin. He is responding to her attack.
Had Palin decided to run, she would have had fewer supporters than Bachmann, and look what happened to Bachmann. 

That is it; they defend Cheney’s statement by saying the spending righted the economy?

Basically, it proves the point conservatives justify spending when they are the ones doing it.

Romney is conservative. Palin knows he is a conservative; but being a media whore, Palin has to pander to her market.

You’ve got it entirely backwards. Only conservatives are arguing for wealth redistribution. Mitt’s economic plan pushes more tax breaks to the top and a greater tax burden to the middle class.

 As George Carlin said, as we get older, we accumulate more STUFF. This causes us to get bigger houses to keep our stuff in. What he forgot to add is that it makes us tend to like the status quo that got us that stuff, and we think will help us keep that stuff.
Conservatives are always on the defensive because they feel the need to protect their stuff. That is why you hear so much accusation that liberals are only trying to steal their stuff.

MrPorkChops
Too bad none of your republican candidates wont even mention his name….

——————————————–

Doesn’t Barry mention Bush enough, porkchop?

Hey, funny none of you liberal clowns mentioned Bush’s spending, but conservatives did. Barry Obama voted for every spending bill of Bush. In fact, Barry is one of the very few presidents in history that inherited the very budget he voted for! And then of course the only one in American history that went on to whine about it. Continuously. And the sheep didn’t even notice? Did they? LOL.

Being a sock puppet must be tough work.

 Yes, sweetie. “We should figure out what we want before we calculate
what we can afford, not the reverse.”

Context is something so elusive to a clown. I did mention that didn’t I? You’re not a clown are you?

So, have you figured out what Barry wants? Social justice by his orders, comrade?

You don’t strike me as a man who thinks comfortably.

Mitt is right about that.  There is an old saying that as a young person you can afford to be liberal, but as you get older and take on more responsibility, one tends to become more conservative.

I don’t know the exact words – but it is true.  We all “rule the world” when we are young – and as we age – we note that it is the “world that rules us”.

Ah. to be young.

Then why did Bush finance the Iraq war by providing tax cuts, reversing the surplus Bill Clinton had created?

We “export” jobs oversees, because the price of doing business in America is becoming too expensive for all the “social justice” that liberals feel they must steal for votes. And because of taxes for liberal social justice programs that, many times, the ones who pay for them, don’t agree with.

Hey, but conservatives don’t want “basic” clean water, clean air, they want grandma to die etc, etc. Don’t you know? It’s lost all its impact a long time ago.

Yeah, no. Germany and Scandinavian countries have a good standard of living and a manufacturing base so don’t give me that. The reason jobs get sent to the far east is to optimise profit for American corporations, nothing more..

I know you’re attempting to be facetious. but conservatives do fight tooth and nail to prevent regulations that benefit people’s health and want to abolish the EPA and go back to the America of yesteryear where every city was covered by a blanket of smog and rivers could catch fire. They also want to turn Medicare into a voucher system as heaven knows, that’ll totally cover all their medical insurance costs and insurance companies would never find reasons to deny them coverage when they need it, right?

These things haven’t lost impact as they’re not attempts to smear like calling folk communist, or unamerican, they’re true and the majority of republicans seem to agree with them and are flat out proud of it in some cases. :)

If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have not heart, if you’re
not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” Winston Churchill
Living and being responsible for oneself and others then to make you more conservative, that is so true.
Lets us know when you approach your fortieth birthday. 
And BTW, Mitt Romney will be the next POTUS !

Sarah did not attack Romney, in fact, even though she is not fond of Mitt’s religion, even though she has been supporting Newt, the pre-Santorum “anyone but Mitt” candidate, she has not been out castigating like the candidates have been routinely doing against each other. She will support Mitt if he wins, you betcha. But if the polls show Romney thereafter running 15 points behind Obama, she may, with nothing to lose, get the itch to break out the red leather and get that “Family Tea Party” going. Would you like that?

My own personal experience is very different. I am far more liberal than I once was. Maybe. It could be that as the Republican party made such a hard right turn, it seems I am more liberal.

At 14:56 Hours, US CST, all your “likes” are from “guests”. Odd that.

“He’s still in the 30 percentile mark when it comes to approval and primary wins and caucus wins.”

And Sarah’s still in the “30 percentile mark” when it comes to 5th grade English.

WELL FOR CHRISSAKES, IF YOU FOLKS KNEW HE WAS A FAILURE, WHY DIDN’T YOU TELL THE COUNTRY THIS 8 YEARS AGO????

Actor. Much better than Reagan.

Sweet Jesus, I hate that “anyone who isn’t a liberal when they are young has no heart, any one who is when they are older has no brain” crapola. If anything I get more liberal the more years I am surrounded by the right-wing knuckle-draggers that dominate our political discourse.

Either you misread my comment or I didn’t make myself clear, but I think I’m saying exactly what you just did. I was a fairly conservative youth, but as I got older, I didn’t want to go along and get more cynical, more close-minded, more fearful and possessive of stuff and switched gears. I’ve had too many family members go down that route and it wasn’t pretty.

Romney will be the next POTUS? 3rd time’s the charm I guess.

Sorry. I meant my experience was different that Willard’s. I actually agree with you.

Well, Bonzo was a better actor and probably would have been a better president than Raygun, too. It was that birth certificate thing. Written on a long banana, it only lasted a year or so.

WELL FOR CHRISSAKES IF SPENDING LIKE A FOOL IS WHAT MAKES A MAN A FAILURE, YOUR BARRY IS THE EPITOME OF FAILURE. THE BIGGEST PRESIDENTIAL FAILURE IN AMERICAN HISTORY. Clown.

Have you actually looked at the “charities” that the Romneys have donated to?  $1.6M to Church of LDS; $100K to George W Bush Library; $40K to Schools (kid’s High School, BYU and Harvard); $10K to US Equestrian Team Foundation.  It’s good to know that there is a hungry child out there while the heel strap on an show jumping saddle is being re-leathered thanks to Mitt.

The Obama’s gave 14.4% of their income to charities while the Romneys gave 13.8% of their income so not sure your first statement holds water.

 No kidding.  There were clearly enough conservatives that liked him to nominate him in the first place. 

First, I can’t believe Palin is still getting audience for her un-reputable comments, but then I saw it was the FOX-hole. That’s the only outlet she has to spew her lies since she was de-bunked by Katie Couric. Palin has no credit-ability or character to stand on. Now to Mitt Romney: Romney is not a conservative at all. Romney is a 1%-er interested in making more money than he needs. Imagine if you will Romney being asked, “Master Mitt, can I have some more?” or a hand-out to eat. Romney’s answer would be, “I don’t care about the poor”, because he thinks Social Program’s in place are sufficient. Sadly the TEA party, whom he is courting is out to do away with Social programs completely. Romney is so out-of-touch, it’s a wonder anyone listens to him. Romney’s life hasn’t made him any bit conservative as he paid 13.7% on his 21 million 2010 earnings, while the average Joe who earns less then $250,000.00 would pay up to 33% on his earnings. Romney has no problems at all where his next meal is coming from or where he’s will sleep tonight.

The only thing that rocks is the rocks in her head.

 shocker!

NICE DIVERSION, BUT I’M SERIOUS.

If you all KNEW that Bush was such a miserable failure as a president, why the f–k didn’t any of you speak up and think to share this with the rest of the country? You could have spared us two obscenely expensive wars and an economy that barely escaped a depression. Instead you lied to us to protect him.

Either:

1.) You HATE America and nominated someone you knew was a dismal leader or

2.) You’re full of SH!T and your belated loathing of Bush is nothing more than revisionist history designed to make yourselves feel better about having supported this walking disaster.

Which one is it, Danielson?

dream on, he is an empty suit

It is actually 10 years at least, he was in the running when he was governor of Massachusetts, he was hardly ever here.

I was trying to be like Mitt & take a conservative estimate.

 You mean donating “Stock Options” is giving to charity to you…To most people it actually means taking money out of our wallets. He did no such thing. If he were to have used those options to buy that stock he’d have paid a mint in taxes. Instead he donates them and gets to write them off too.

I agree. I am much more conservative than I was when I was younger. 

A bunch of my old high school friends are as well. It is very funny to reconnect with so many old friends, from our young wild days, and have them email me that they are conservative now. (in private – it’s funny that liberals have no problem posting all their Republican bashing posts, but conservatives don’t even feel comfy saying the are Conservative because of the nasty comments and hate they see posted by Libs.)

“The problems we inherited were far worse than most inside and out of government had expected; the recession was deeper than most inside and out of government had predicted. Curing those problems has taken more time and a higher toll than any of us wanted.”
- Ronald Reagan: 1983 State of the Union

Wrong – Racial *cultures* and perceived differences between races are human constructs. Race exists because we have eyes. 

I see the point you are trying to make – we are all exactly the same despite different skin tones, and no race is better than another. But race does in fact exist. 

‘ “If you’re not a liberal at twenty you have not heart, if you’re
not a conservative at forty you have no brain.” Winston Churchill ‘

Using that rationale, it would seem to say that twenty year old conservatives don’t have a heart.

“Whatever political stripe you may be, and whatever your age is, it’s probably best to have both a heart and a brain.” Dorothy Gale

Problem is that none of them have been able to tell us what a conservative is. Mitt Romney certainly wasn’t like any of the other Republicans running besides Huntsman. If Obama runs as a Republican, he could easily claim he’s a conservative if Romney is one.

We’re not upset, we’re actually laughing. Your childish whining is pretty funny. 

Im sure it’s a terrible burden, and you have my deepest and sincerest sympathies.

You know, as a young man, Mussolini was liberal.

The district court judge in NYC said that it was OK for Church groups to use the public school for religious services. The judge deemed that it WAS NOT unconstitutional for Church groups to use the school for this.

The only reason the church groups were evicted was because liberal groups pressured the government to evict them because they didn’t like the fact that people were practicing religion EVEN WHEN A) The school was closed B) Students weren’t at the school, and C) The church group was paying rent.
Plain and simple, the liberals don’t like Christianity so they made the governor evict them – even though their private religious worship did not affect these liberals AT ALL. 

Political affiliation is an individual choice. One chooses to be a conservative and one chooses to be a liberal. Race and gender are biologically pre-determined. Religion is a choice, yes, but religion does not overwhelmingly influence how one votes or how they lobby for political action. There are liberal christians and liberal christians. Liberal Jews and conservative Jews, etc.

“… even though their private religious worship did not affect these liberals AT ALL.”

Please replace ‘private religious worship’ with other issues, i.e, gay marriage, and ‘liberal’ with conservative – then please tell me if you still feel the same way.

“… even though their gay marriage did not affect these conservatives AT ALL.”

And how does that affect his ability to govern? 

“The problems we inherited were far worse than most inside and out of government had expected; the recession was deeper than most
inside and out of government had predicted. Curing those problems has taken more time and a higher toll than any of us wanted.” – Ronald Reagan: 1983 State of the Union

And that was only after 4 years of Carter, so it’s only fair that just like Reagan, Obama gets 8 years.

Yeah, but then he’ll wake up and realize it was all a dream that people actually liked him.

The debate over gay marriage isn’t about whether or not it affects you or I. It is about redefining the definition of an organic institution that has been around for thousands of years for the entire duration of human existence. 

The perpetuation of human life solely depends on a man and woman’s ability to recreate, and a child is best raised when there is a man and woman in a cohesive family, achieved through marriage. 
And the whole ‘well, what if the man and woman are infertile?’ argument is one that is often brought up. However, if that is the case, their relationship and marriage is still intertwined in the organic, evolutionary construct of religion.
It’s like, an apple is an apple, and even the apple has a worm in it and is rotten (a defect), it is still an apple. 
Now, I actually have changed my views on gay marriage. I’m not sure whether or not I support it or don’t. I’m not staunchly opinionated in either direction. 
However, there is no debating that marriage is an institution that has been around forever and that marriage between a man and woman makes the most evolutionary sense. 

Studies show that Republicans are more happy than liberals. Probably because liberals are angry at the world and think everyone owes them something. 

Mr. Edward G. Robinson lived to the age of 79 and was a liberal up to the end. As was Bogie.

I realize you’re just a contrived persona and provocateur (with apparently no personal life if how much time you spend on this site is any indication), but perhaps you should change your avatar and multi-names to someone more fitting and appropriate.

Sorry. I posted before seeing yours.

“Edward G. Robinson!  Not familiar with him.   Politician?”

Perfect answer, and also perfectly typical of you. Amusing and yet…

“When you don’t want to actually address the question, ignore, deny, avoid, evade, prevaricate, start an ad hominem attack, change the subject and/or obfuscate.” – Gloves Elinor Phil Donahue

“Studies show that Republicans are more happy than liberals. Probably because liberals are angry at the world and think everyone owes them something.”

Of course Republicans (or perhaps conservatives) are more happy. Too many of them – not all – don’t really care that much about all the misery and unhappiness around them. It doesn’t affect, effect or touch them.

The only time it would seem Republicans (conservatives) are less happy than liberals is when they are not in the White House. Then they aren’t just unhappy – they’re outraged and fit to be tied to the point of being unhinged.

I like how people like Santorum & Palin are forcing Romney to accept extremely right wing positions to make him unelectable. If the Republicans are going to platform on being crazy, out of touch, and paranoid, why not go with Ron Paul. At least he has character.

“… conservatives don’t even feel comfy saying the are Conservative because of the nasty comments and hate they see posted by Libs.”

So what are you saying? That your conservative friends are cowards who can’t stand by their convictions or stand up to people who criticize their political position?

Also, I love how you seem to insinuate or ignore that liberals get their fair share of nasty, hateful bashing from conservatives. There’s enough blood on everyone’s hands to go around.

Your argument about a traditional marriage being the only marriage that would be able to carry on evolution is true, but I don’t understand why gay marriage would threaten that definition. I don’t think gays are advocating that a man and woman not be allowed to marry anymore, are they? I have never heard the argument that only gays should be allowed to marry and no one else. That argument seems to be exclusive to those who oppose gay marriage. Gays are simply arguing they would like to be allowed to have that same right to marry as a man and woman enoy. I don’t get why the two definitions of marriage can’t co-exist in this world.

“The debate over gay marriage isn’t about whether or not it affects you or I.”

I respectfully disagree. I don’t believe gay marriage has any impact on, or affects the straight population. There are many legally married gay couples around the world, and it hasn’t changed anything.

The way you mostly define marriage (emphasis on procreation) would seem to rule out infertile couples who don’t want to adopt or opt for in vitro fertilization or surrogate mothers. And people past their child bearing years. Why should they bother (or more to the point) be ‘allowed’ to get married?

I once read that one of the big strengths and attractions of getting married (officially or otherwise) is that there was someone there to “witness” your day to day life. (“If a tree falls in the forest and there’s no one there?”)

Things evolve. Legal marriage for gays is one of them. (BTW, I personally don’t care if it’s a civil contract or called marriage – just so long as everyone’s rights are equal.)

I see your point, and like I said, I don’t really have a passionate opinion regarding gay marriage in either direction (even though I am a staunch conservative on just about every other issue.) Gay marriage will eventually be legal, it will just take time. When that time comes, I won’t protest it if that is what the majority of the country wants.

Simple Sarah no likey the Romney.  What a bunch of retards.

It can’t be balancing budgets, because conservative Cheney’s tenet was “Deficits don’t matter”

The obvious question..

Is that a good thing?

Clinton balanced the budget. Does that make him a Republican?

Romney has very strange explanations that really dont make much logical sense.

“Waaaahhhh They’re attacking us! Waaaahhhhhh!”

You are so right! two things that make conservatives and liberals different…
Liberals go by emotion and guilt,… Conservatives go by reason and facts
Liberals put people in categories… Conservatives put people as Americans.

I think you forgot as you get older you become smarter… think logical.. own property,  pay taxes. and experience of recognizing stupidity and bullcrap that you fell for when you were 20.

Of course, if you lived 8 years of your life with George W. Boosh as your president, you’ll never want to hear from anyone conservative ever again.

If Churchill had any idea how ridiculous conservatism was to become under folks like Michele Bachmann, Glenn Beck and Orly Taitz, he’d retract that quote in a heartbeat.

LOL, blame Bush again! instead of trying to stop spending or fix things… Ignore Obama is spending more in the three years then every president combined in our history!

Can you please turn on the TV or read something other then what is happing too Lindsy Lohan and read what is happing in Greece and Europe right now because of the over entitlement spending!

Your animosity to her blinds you, my friend.

Look at her CPAC appearance, she fires people up. Of course what she says is mostly nonsense, that is not the point.

I am in no way anti-Mormon but, we have family who is and you are basically told how much money to contribute to the church. Plus if we want to have a pissing contest about who contributed what, we need to know what organizations were contributed to. Just because you believe in “God”, and we really need to define, which mythological being we are referring to, country and family, and we also need a definition of family here, that does not make you competent to be POTUS.

When I was working in Special Ed, we had a family where both parents were mentally handicapped. The father worked, hard, the mother stayed home and raised the daughter, they attended church and were patriotic. These were wonderful people but admittedly probably not up to the task of running a large country. The thing that was notable was, they were serious about all of these things, it was not a facade. If integrity were a key component of political office, these folks would beat most candidates in either party.

Churchill didn’t go far enough. As I approach 60 I have swung back around to the liberal ways of my youth, only even more so. I would like to see Romney’s definition of “living life”, I’m pretty sure it would bear no resemblance to mine.

 Wow, Bifffy, you should have read the whole thing, you might have learned something. Notice that Reagan had a plan to curb spending. He blamed SPENDING not the peanut farmer. Clown. But nice try.

Bold mine:

The problems we inherited were far worse than most inside and out of
government had expected; the recession was deeper than most inside and out
of government had predicted. Curing those problems has taken more time and
a higher toll than any of us wanted. Unemployment is far too high.
Projected Federal spending–if government refuses to tighten its own
belt–will also be far too high and could weaken and shorten the economic
recovery now underway.

This recovery will bring with it a revival of economic confidence and
spending for consumer items and capital goods–the stimulus we need to
restart our stalled economic engines. The American people have already
stepped up their rate of saving, assuring that the funds needed to
modernize our factories and improve our technology will once again flow to
business and industry.

The inflationary expectations that led to a 21 1/2-percent interest prime
rate and soaring mortgage rates 2 years ago are now reduced by almost half.
Leaders have started to realize that double-digit inflation is no longer a
way of life. I misspoke there. I should have said “lenders.”

Read the whole thing and you may learn something. But will anyone hold their breath? LOL.

Clinton’s republican house led by Newt Gingrich balanced the budget. So no, not only does it not make BJ republican, but he is no conservative either. And he is still a disgraced, impeached serial adulterer.

Thank you for asking though.

 So where did he blame the peanut farmer, again????

So, interest rates have tumbled, paving the way for recovery in vital
industries like housing and autos.

The early evidence of that recovery has started coming in. Housing starts
for the fourth quarter of 1982 were up 45 percent from a year ago, and
housing permits, a sure indicator of future growth, were up a whopping 60
percent.

No other president in American history ever blamed his predecessor like your classless community organizer has. But hey, that’s what they do. Reagan blamed SPENDING. And within two years Reagan turned the economy on it’s head, and led to the explosion in R&D that BJ Clinton gets all the credit for. But nice try. Like your buddy.

ExGOPclown:

NICE DIVERSION, BUT I’M SERIOUS.

If you all KNEW that Bush was
such a miserable failure as a president, why the f–k didn’t any of you
speak up and think to share this with the rest of the country? You could
have spared us two obscenely expensive wars and an economy that barely
escaped a depression. Instead you lied to us to protect him.

Either:

1.) You HATE America and nominated someone you knew was a dismal leader or

2.)
You’re full of SH!T and your belated loathing of Bush is nothing more
than revisionist history designed to make yourselves feel better about
having supported this walking disaster.

Which one is it, Danielson? 

——————————————

Your problem is that you DON’T know that Bary is a miserable failure as a president as well as a human being. Along with his un-proud wife and preacher. And you’re too stupid to speak up to share this with the rest of the country, AND that stupidity will bring us to a depression and total collapse if he continues. But carry on, clown.

Is it because you HATE America, and will vote for more Barry?

Or you are full of sh!t to the point that there is no hope for any reality in your liberal soaked brain so that you continue supporting this bumbling excuse of a community organizer.

Which is it exGOPclown?

PS you are so scary when you are serious. Time for another fine bottle of Scotch to laugh at you with. And I mean fine bottle. Sadly, Barry’s economy hasn’t brought the price of fine Scotch down too much.

True

I am talking about the friend group I have on FB. Many of them are old school friends from kindergarten through college. Many of them have known each other for decades, and yes, they are intimidated to post anything conservative, because of the wrath they see from Liberals. I see comments like “palin is a f*cking idiot and so are her tea bagging f*cking tarded supporters.. yada yada” and when I post replies, I get a lot of private messages from people who agree with me, but don’t want to suffer the wrath publicly. Besides the Conservative sites I follow, I rarely see political comments (nasty ones, never) from Conservatives in my FB feed.
