Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Who is brainwashing all these people?

Even here on an outdoors, hunting, shooting site, that one would think would be filled with lovers of freedom, liberty, the Constitution, standing on principal, standing up and fighting for what's right, reducing government not growing it, and a conservative way of life in general, I am just blown away by all these folks still spouting "we need a moderate like Rubio or Kasick to help bring in the "swing vote" from the middle". Do the names Dole, McCain and Romney not mean anything to these folks? Mushy moderates will lose to democrats every time!! And true conservatives who stand and fight for what's right, who stand for we the people, who stand for the constitution, who don't cave to the democrats and don't try to be more like them, WIN! Please educate yourself before voting.
End of rant.

Those people didn't pay much attention to the last two elections involving the moderates McCain & Romney.

It's only a crime if you repeat the stupidity.

Some of them are stuck on it. Over and over.

You sound like a Ron Paul supporter

Nope, just a real conservative who speaks the truth.
There is no arguing with history.

It obvious we have some of the "mushy middle" here too. Evidently some have a higher threshold of pain for socialists or moderate republicans. The "last flush" is pending and we will know soon enough.

You open a can of worms.

Rotten dirty nasty stinking worms.

What passes for "conservative" these days needs dragged out behind the woodshed and shot through the head.

That's a fact.

Fact indeed.

“We can’t expect the American people to jump from capitalism to communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving them small doses of socialism, until they awaken one day to find that they have communism.

That's undeniable by all but complete drooling dip $hits.

I'm for the most conservative person who I think can win....and the more I listen to Cruz, the more I think he can win.

Who is brainwashing all these people?

I haven't a clue.

This is a subset of society and as such you'll find good hard working people, lazy people, generous people, greedy people, smart people, dumb people, righteous people, unrighteous people, conservatives, liberals, clueless, etc.,

Not surprising at all if you think about it.

One of the issues we have is the absence of uplifting leaders who are running for the R nomination.

Reagan made people feel good about themselves AND expressed true conservative values.

Trump gives vent to anger-not necessarily a winning proposition in the general election.

Cruz is brilliant but cannot do a soundbite that makes people feel good about themselves.

Rubio is good looking and young-- but inexperienced and cannot articulate how (or if) he has learned from his mistakes.

Romney was the real deal on the inside-but did not have the courage to show it on the outside. He also would not say--I know Obama are will fail because Romney care failed. That needed sayin'. Romney could Get the crowd feeling good about themselves -- but he never left the focus group words behind.

So, I am stuck with no one. My gut tells me Rubio/Nikki Haley is the winning ticket over Bernie or Hillary.

Would prefer Mitch Daniels.

+1!

Unfortunately I think a lot of folks would rather go for a high percentage, partial win, than a riskier true win. We are a pretty beat down bunch right now.

Kasich's answer on the CNN Town Hall to the gent who asked him if he would protect the 2nd Amendment . . . "of course you have to protect the 2nd Amendment including collecting and hunting."

Cruz is just another politician, owned by the donor class. He'll do their bidding on all important matters.

Precisely. To find the brainwashers, simply inquire into who controls the MSM.

Romney lost because, if I remember the thinking at the time, he was rich, entitled and out of touch. Neither he nor his sons ever served in the military, purposely and people thought he was too out of touch with the real world. Sound like anyone else we know? Or should I say.....sounds like a whole lot of candidates on both sides.

What worries me the most is the demoncrats running one candidate for president while we run three. Our vote will be divided and even if we have superior numbers the democrat will win. We have all seen this happen before, remember Ross Peroe? (sp). We need to ALL get behind the Republican candidate that can win. Hopefully it will be one we can live with.

All these pukes were raised by feel good koksuckers, sprouted by the kinder gentler machine gun hand neil young, woodstock, commie doper bullchit campaign.

They don't posses the inherent knowledge to see color or the difference between right and wrong.

They are truly a waste of time, the products of a failed experiment, and a huge expense.
