The Conservative Thread: Back to Basics. Pass the Lasagna and Have a Flower!!

[#1hockeymom]

Hey, I've been meaning to ask, anyone on here a TourguideMike planner?

We've used him for our last two trips and will use him again when we go in April.

Just wondering.

I've used them twice and he's right on!

Okay, so let's see ... Ray Nagin in charge of FEMA, Guv Jen on BO's economic team ... then I think the next logical choice is Marion Barry as drug czar.

Sad... but probably true?! Hell, He has Gov Granholm helping him with the economy. SHe's done NOTHING for Michigan but kill it more.

Welcome. We feel your pain.

I can't find the original post, but welcome!

Geez - I get busy with real life for two days and there's already a new thread with 62 pages!

I should have known it would be lasagna - our traditional Christmas meal!

Hey guys...I hardly visit the DIS these days...but wanted to pop in and say hi to my conservative friends. I'm feeling your pain guys. 1/20/13 will be the end of an ERROR.

 

[Mangold5]

Are you kidding me? Nagin in charge of FEMA, Governor Jennifer on the economic transition team???? Let me guess....Bill Ayers will be the new head of Homeland security

My thoughts on Palin are that she should continue as Govenor, and then be put in a high level position in the next Republican administration. From there it can be determined if she would make a good candidate.

SM -- I agree. Although I truly like and admire Sarah Palin, I think the MSM and creeps like Tina Fey and the like so tarnished her reputation that I don't think she is a viable candidate in 2012. People, especially PTS, do not listen to the truth -they listen to the smear that is being spread - and the smear is what they will remember. She needs to be part of a a R administration, but not part of the ticket.

I feel better finding this thread and knowing there are Americans with my same views and concerns for our future! I voted for McCain and I am very upset and depressed over the outcome of this election. I will not watch the news nor do I have any respect for the media in their role in helping BO get elected.

Welcome. We feel your pain.

Welcome. What is even more refreshing here is that you don't have to apologize or feel like you are going to get creamed if you have a difference of opinion!

A little follow-up to my last post about the Palin smears that were supposedly coming from Romney's camp, but apparently weren't. I've been doing some reading, and I think I have a decent idea of what's actually going on here. The answer was sitting in front of my nose the whole time based on stuff that's happened in the past, but I didn't put 2 and 2 together until now.

I'm not one to start rumors, so I won't say what/who I think is behind this. But I will say this. You have to ask yourself: Who within the GOP would have something to gain by trying to 1. Damage Sarah Palin beyond national repair and 2. Conveniently blame it all on Mitt Romney, thus finishing him off with the base? Figure out the answer to that, and you can probably figure out what direction(s) this junk is actually coming from.

Welcome! Looking forward to chatting with you in the months ahead. We have lots of fun here!

Oh, and it's been determined the aides bashing Sarah were not Romney people. Two of them apparently were, as suspected, Nicole Wallace and Steve Schmidt. Third one is still in the process of being smoked out. Frankly it doesn't surprise me. Wallace left CBS for her job, and Schmidt was a top McCain guy from the get-go. Romney was on the receiving end of underhandedness from McCain and Huckabee. I didn't think it made sense for his people to be doing this, and I really didn't believe he was behind it. Mitt's a good man, IMO.

IMO, we need to keep an eye on who these clowns go to work for, and then we need to make it clear to that GOPer that we do not approve of them being hired at all. And this is not for the sake of payback, this is to ensure they don't pull this crud with a GOP candidate ever again. I'm tired of us being hurt from within by people who have no business being in the party to begin with.

We need to make it clear because THEY are probably the reason McCain lost. His campaign was so extremely poorly managed, it was like his top aides had no idea of what was really going on. So many chances to blast Democrats on so many levels that were skipped. They need to find another line of work because they suck at this.

I think it's way too early to decide who the most viable candidate for 2012 will be. As far as Palin being tarnished....nah....people have a short attention span and memory. It's what she does between now and then that really matters. MHO She'll be a little tougher and seasoned. It will totally depend on the climate....in other words...how bad BO and his cronies mess things up.

Title works for me Checking in!

Edited to add: After Obama screws up this country even more than Bush is accredited for doing - everyone will be voting Republican in 2012

2012? I'm thinkin' that they'll be begging for us in 2010!

Oooh, a riddle! I love riddles! Anyone have a guess?

k...i'll go way out on a limb here and guess.....jeb?

 

[blestmom]

And about your senators?........... I have Chucky Schumer......need I say more?

I'm so sorry...

 

[What the Heck]

k...i'll go way out on a limb here and guess.....jeb?

I'm thinking Huckabee, but I disagree.

 

[IWantMickey]

k...i'll go way out on a limb here and guess.....jeb?

ahhhhh...good guess. I didn't think of Jeb. But IMHO, I really don't see voters going for a third Bush candidacy. But of course he wouldn't be asking my opinion.

 

[#1hockeymom]

'm thinking no to Huckabee.. what about Rudy?

Btw, please send happy thoughts my way. In the middle of unemployment I decided that I need to once and for all quit smoking. Mind you, if I was working, I'd be smoking almost nothing because I didnt on the way to work, or at work. Now, I'm smoking way too much.

I quit at 1:00 today on the way to hockey.

(yeah, I know I don't fit the profile... blame DH!) (Then again, DH quit two years ago!)

Good luck #1, I'll say a prayer for you. DH is using Chantix to stop. He's been taking it for almost a month now and it's working. He was very crabby during the first week, but he's mellowed out lately.

I told him he had to stop by the time we go to WDW because there's no way I'm standing around in a smoking area burning up my valuable WDW time on his addiction.

I'm not necessarily thinking a candidate, I'm mainly thinking about a campaign. Again, I don't want to say what I think because it's based on my interpretation of the situation and not hard facts. I didn't appreciate Mitt getting trashed for no reason, so I don't want to say what I think, needlessly accusing an innocent group, and then be wrong.

I will say my suspicions are based on stuff that happened earlier this year. Romney is a Mormon, as most people know. Well, there were anti-Mormon robo calls put out in Iowa to try to destroy him amongst Christians. I have no clue for sure who was behind those calls to this day. But I do know that there were certain people from another campaign who ran around saying Romney himself was the one putting negative ads out about Mormonism to head-fake people into believing an opponent was doing it. Now, does that logically make any sense? Does anyone believe the average politician or campaign as a whole is clever and quiet enough to pull something like that off, all the while knowing it could very well backfire?

I personally have no doubt the trash itself is coming from McCain's people. Typical RINO behavior, stab the conservative in the back. But I think there is another faction supporting the nonsense, pushing it along, and blaming it on Mitt. Whether their candidate is involved or not, I am skeptical. But I am highly suspicious of this person's advisors and staff.
