Theyre mad about empty promises of job creation and low unemployment. They're mad about illegal immigration and no one doing anything about it. They're mad about gay marriage endorsement. They're mad about croney capitalism---stimulus money going Obama supporters. They're mad about Solyndra getting $500 million dollars and then going bankrupt. They're mad about $3.50 a gallon gas. They're mad that the Keystone Pipeline was blocked. They're mad about don't ask don't tell being altered. They're mad that this administration is anti business. They're mad that Obama's trying to change welfare reform. They're mad that he is in the pocket of the corrupt unions and the corrupt Chicago political machine....

I think what you are saying is true but there are not enough of us who are mad. We will be outvoted by those who vote based on race, based on what their unions tell them to do, based on receiving more from the Nanny State, etc.

Re: Romney VP Pick Today 9AM

I don't believe polls to be an accurate reflection of the population's preference as a whole.

You can poll 100 people and get these percentage numbers, with 2.4 people having a not sure answer. Yet it could be made to look and be reported as if 10,000,000 people participated in the vote without telling the people that they only polled 100 people.

So in this poll it could be thought of throughout America that 58.6% out of 300,000,000 people are for voting Barak Obama back in.

Beware of media tactics to use percentages and false information about this election.

Here's is the clip I was looking for.

Beginning at 1:52. Paul is asked if he would choose Jesse Ventura as a running mate. His answer, "I haven't gotten that far yet. I'd have to think about that. I DON'T THINK IT'S LEGAL TO OFFER A POSITION BEFORE YOU'RE NOMINATED."

Just sayin'...ORomney

The thing is that I think the "fight" is only in the minds of a very small minority of Republicans. A fringe group for whom nothing will satisfy them short of nominating an ultra conservative candidate who has zero chance of winning.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.

"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.

"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
