Super Tues Results

Super Tues Results

Postby SoldiersMum on 02/05/08, 4:02 pm

WV went for Huckabee.  Romney was winning and McCain's people threw their vote to Huckabee to stop Romney.  This is a good example of politics as usual and also a good indication that Huckabee actually thinks he's going to be the VP nominee.  I wouldn't count on that Huck.

Rather than trying to explain how I feel about these "Super" Tuesday results, you could always just re-read how I felt the day I buried my grandfather. See: http://www.rushlimbaughforum.com/give-t547.htm

I felt as if I had buried America.  

Also, thanks to all that posted their consolations.  Unfortunately, in recent years, I wasn't as close to my Grandfather as I would have liked -- but, aside from loving the man, I always felt that he represented an earlier/better time for America.  That he was a better man, despite his faults, than I could ever hope to be.

The comparison between what I felt that my Grandfather represented, and what Modern America has become is unavoidable.

There is  simply no comparison between my Grandfather's America, and MY America.  They are not even remotely the same thing.  One was good, the other is bad.  One, even after 170 years, was based upon the principles of the Founders; the other, only 50 years later does not even recognize founding principles.

This is why I am so upset by a McCain nomination.  It's one thing to have ONE party that totally discounts founding principles; but now the election of the President of the United States will be between two candidates, neither of whom have any interest in founding principles.  Both Hillary and Obama openly DESPISE the ideals upon which this country was founded;  and McCain is quite simply so ignorant that he doesn't even know what founding principles were.

I also have a lot to say about McCain's ridiulous propogandist use of his military experience, but I'll save it for another post.

We're moving to a one party system.

Wow, I wish I had some words of good cheer for you but this is dark day for America.  McCain can't win but we certainly won't like the alternative.  Obama or Clinton will be the first Secretary General of the USSA (United Socialist States of America).  

I wish it was only our wallets that we had to hold on to.

Well, you'd better do it on the up-and-up, no wading across the Rio Grande. They don't tolerate American wetabacs down there, but I hear you can live like a king (or a queen) with alot less money, as long as dire poverty around you isn't a big problem for you. Just get the papers first to be sure.

About the Romney withdrawl, not surprised, but the ST numbers were bad for him, Juan had too much help from his RINO buddies. Sucks for me and others, we never had a choice.

Come to think of it, nobody at all will have a choice in November. On the ballot, they'll be a socilalist with a "r" and a socialist with a "d". Every omelet needs broken eggs.

Ironically, entering Mexico illegally carries a stiff prison sentence with mandatory deportation afterwards.  You don't want to sneak into Mexico.
