Hitlery was a Goldwater girl! I was a Goldwater girl, and she’s NO Goldwater girl. Someone who wrote of Alinsky and his ilk? I never even HEARD of those people back then! She’s worse than Romney with being a serial windsock and lies every single chance she can. I’ve always thought she is a very dangerous woman, still think that and always will – she and Slick are a perfect match. Both of ‘em just throw stuff out to see how it plays in flyover country – a few bones for us, if you will. And here’s another thing – if that woman is smart, I’ll eat your bonnet, and mine too. How’s that?

Sorry for the rant, Lizzie – really enjoyed your comments!

her (I’m sure a her) since she first came on board. She’s is a recently graduated (high school) home-schooled Louisiana citizen who seems to be very naive, but has loved all things Perry for a long time. She has several younger siblings (one is 2), a Mom and grandparents that she adores and is trying to change grandparents’ minds. Has been asking about how to get into a volunteer group in LA. Brought innocent friend on board today, I think, another home-schooled from TX, I think. Two young’uns in my view to be viewed as such, IMHO.

Dang, I’m going to dream up an RS email account (gmail or something) for myself so we can communicate off-site, if that is okay. Let me know.

I agree with your perception all the way. Now, absolutely Newt made those great points re covert, etc. operations, and you better bet he would do just that. So would Perry, though he didn’t have a chance to voice it. Believe him totally when you heard him say that he would be with our military and “whatever it takes” until the day he dies. Perry and Newt and twins on those things – actually, a lot of things. Cain sounds clueless, because he is just that. Huntsman is from a veeeery wealthy family in Utah – Dad got him a job as Ambassador to China, Governor of Utah so now he’s trying to buy the Presidency. That isn’t in stone, it is my opinion. Huntsman is very Libertarian like Paul, but covers it better than Paul. Both are conservative in some areas.

Bachman is not electable, IMHO. She says some good things but when she had her shrill/shrieking moments my brain clicked off immediately – smacks of feminism. She is a hypocrite in some areas and has out-and-out lied – #1 about our guy. Also got tired of talking constantly of those 84 kids she raised – just kidding, not 84 but a lot of foster children, with 5 (I think, lost count) of her own. But WHEN did she have time to do all that? Hmmm? How on earth do you nurture and properly care for all of those kiddos? I know the fosters weren’t there all at once, BUT, with 5 of her own, they suffered somewhere.

Lastly, Santorum. This is me talking here – I believe that Mitt and “Santomonium” are in cahoots somehow. S. is in debt with campaign expenses, so who is to say that his debts are paid off in exchange for a position somewhere in D.C. with Mitt? Neither of them is above such a thing. Neither slams the other. Isn’t that strange? But, that is me.

Loved Perry tonight. Watched the debate again since the live go-around I was whooping & hollering so loud I missed some spots.

Correctamundo! Huntsman IS whiny, that is just him – spoiled rotten. He isn’t used to being ignored, overlooked or not having his own way. Glad you agree with the Sanctomonium (left the “c” out of the above post – maybe you’ll catch it this time LOL) and Romney tie, and I believe you are correct with the Bachmann tie also. You’re showing your kindness/politeness when you say “When they are no longer useful they will be retired.” Well, in plainer speak, it is “… they will thrown (a) off the proverbial cliff or (b) under the proverbial bus.”

Perry is a gentleman, plain and simple. I think that was astonishment at the first debate when the others immediately threw rotten tomatoes all at once, and he just wasn’t expecting it.

Glad you see underlying “conspiracies” as do I. Get to thinking sometimes that I spend entire too much time by myself. HA

I freely admit, For Bachmann to distort facts (she voted for the gardasil issue in her own state, but slammed Perry as wanting to harm young girls) and outright lie about another (regardless of who the other is) is a huge no-no for me. For Santorum, he comes across to me sometimes very snarky, whiny and “preachy.” That doesn’t sit well with me and many others, note that he was not re-elected in PA and his numbers are low here, too. Now if I were to meet them, of course there would be nothing but respect shown them. Another thing is that if you are going to slam some and not others, that isn’t fair. Why not discuss that Mitt is a serial windsock for example – that is what he is. That would be a factual statement. In fact, I don’t believe there should be any uncivil discourse between or at the candidates – the nominee then has to run against b.o. who can throw it back into the face of our nominee. Deal in facts only, no distortions, no lies, just straight facts tossed about. With those three, I am particularly perturbed by the seeming to be in cahoots – don’t know for sure if it is legal, but IMHO, there is nothing ethical about it. And those are two different issues. That is the legal-training side of me kicking in. LOL

As for being alone a lot, I am simply because I live alone. I do visit my son and my granddaughter and a couple of dear friends here. I work part-time sometimes for my former boss who is an attorney/CPA, but would prefer a full-time job (just a little one – no big-time boilerplate job such as I had when I retired) for the comraderie and to give me a structured lifestyle – I do better with structure. It is 3:00 a.m. CST now and look at me – on my beloved computer. Since I’m a natural-born night owl, that is what I default to when left to my own devices.

Typically, they are run by libs who play gotcha, and that is easy to do given the structure of these 30 and 60 second answers. For Perry, it is particularly difficult given his Texas accent – what is he gonna do, take diction (or whatever lesson) lessons to get a New Yawk accent? We just speak slower, that is just the way it is.

BTW, is Major Garrett still with Faux News? They said he is with The National Journal. I figured out that Major was a lib a good while back, and that ws disappointing. Anyway, he was okay, I suppose.

Yes, to me debates should give each candidate ample time to answer with clarity. In what other situation are you give no more than 60 seconds to answer a complicated question? None. That isn’t right or fair to any of them, and the libs know it. It is by design, and whoever the powers-that-be are should never agree to such – particularly for such a large field.

can you get a point across without it? You either speak in a stacatto monotone or weave about similar to Perry in prior debates. If you will notice, he uses his hands continually, as do I. And when you do, you’re not even aware of it at the time. It is as natural as waking up each day. I probably couldn’t say a word if someone tied my hands behind my back. Of course, some might think that to be a blessing!

Yes, Cain is a totally empty suit, yet I believe he thought it he could pull it off – or – he doesn’t understand that it takes a little knowledge here and there. Then there is the race card he has thrown out lately (disappointedly so), so maybe that factor would apply to he thought of actually winning. Maybe a combination. At any rate, if he isn’t toast soon he will be down the road.

Good on you for moderating. That had to have been more fun! But, pray tell, what is NCFCA?

When you have a moment, go over and see the video I posted (I think on the open diary from the debate last night), or go to my profile and find it. It is Pig Races vs. Mosque in Katy, TX (just west of Houston). The explanation is hilarious as to what occurred – the video is a hoot. Can’t be a Texan without knowing “ever thang” – another one of those colloquialisms, doncha know. LOL

If you were only in Arlington, you didn’t see much. Though it is nice enough there, there are all sorts of different climates, beautiful areas and some not-so-beautiful, even different accents – but all with a drawl. Those were “Steak and Ale” restaurants that you saw – been out of business for a number of years. They had good food, so I don’t know why they closed.

You will enjoy the coke – oh, that’s another thing – every soft drink is called a coke, as in: “Let’s go get a coke.” Arrive at your destination to order: “Could I please have a diet sprite, this ‘un wants a root beer … ” Aren’t we weird? How does it feel to be newly weird today?

Uh huh, no sireee bobtail. Just watch the old westerns – that is our kind of weird. Yes, we have our pompous a$$es, those who think the unwashed masses (that would include me!) are just too embarrassing what with our uproarious laughter at times and good will to all – but don’t mess with my dog, my kids, my loved ones or my “stuff.”

That brings me to the story of Perry and the coyote. Oh, what an uproar that caused in certain circles across the land. It was “OH NO, (gasping loudly), he had a GUN and he KILLED a sweet little coyote! What a monster! How low class, how stupid he is, and he wears (more gasping!) BOOTS and sometimes a HAT and aaaa BELT BUCKLE (hyperventilating now)!” Our reaction to all of that was: rapid blinking, looking all around at one another, shrugging and saying (loudly!) “What a bunch of IDJITS!” The man was protecting his little dog, so he pulled out his LEGAL pistol and killed the predator! Big deal, get a life and all that jazz!

I love that video – first time I saw it all I could do was laugh and still do. When I need a real pick-me-up, all I have to do is watch it again. Nothin’ more than pure common sense oozing from that farmer’s very core. Ya don’t move next door to someone and then commence to tell your neighbor what he should do on his own property! PARTICULARLY if it involves a mosque – that just ain’t riiiiight.

it anywhere on the dial. Love it, too. We have some really great places to go listen and go dancing. Nothing like country dancing – more fun! All of the cities and small towns have great places to go, too. Austin is a good place for it – but Austin is truly weird in the San Fran kind of way all the fruit loops from there took over with the techie invasion. They’ve almost ruined a beautiful, laid back city with their yuppie, liberal, PC way – I mean real loons.

When I speak here, it is in reference to true Texans, not the Austin crowd of morons. Haven’t seen that particular ad, but, yes, it is his persona. He’s typically in jeans and boots and wears boots with his suits as a rule. However, given his drum playing with ZZ Top (go to youtube and look them up – a very popular national group though from TX) and playing Beethoven on the piano, he’s very well rounded, as most of us are, believe it or not. We just enjoy to the hilt pulling everyone’s legs and exaggerating just a wee tad! More fun that way, doncha know.

Now, country music is wonderful and I know only a few who don’t like it. But there are other influences, too. I grew up during Happy Days when rock ‘n roll was evolving, so I love rock ‘n roll, love Elvis, hated the Beatles, loved the Stones, etc. Then you have Willie Nelson – a true legend here. We love the guy, his music and even put up with his liberal ways – he doesn’t try to push ‘em off on us, he’s just Willie. We just figure that, poor thing, his brain is fried from too much pot, but he writes the most beautiful music (even though in reality he doesn’t sing that well, but we love it anyway) and he probably has the one of the most kind and sweet souls found in any one person. So he gets cut a LOT of slack cuz that’s just Willie being Willie. And if you have never heard his Stardust album, go find it. Or go to youtube and pull up some of his songs. Most of them he has written, and they are beautiful with a few funny ones thrown in. Can’t have an ugly soul to write like that.

So guess you could say there’s a nice mixture – you an find whatever you want. You can go big-dog style in Dallas, or whoop it up most anywhere you wish to go. Lots and lots of history and fun things, and never heard of anyone who doesn’t love music. My soul would die without it.

As me a question any old time you wish, red. I’ll answer ASAP! Thanks for asking!

I was sent this sweet article regarding Rick and Anita Perry. It is precious, it is funny and very endearing … and that is just who they are, all of those things. Enjoy!

http://www.dallasnews.com/news/politics/perry-watch/headlines/20111112-perrys-marriage-a-private-affair-in-public-life.ece

finding a lot of them, because a lot of them just fall in my lap – including this one – I just pass them along. One of our fellow posters sent this one to me, and I just couldn’t resist sending it to you. Living out on the left coast, I figured you would never see such an article. I am amazed that such a positive article would appear, though, because the big-city rags even in Texas are lefties. Like a bunch of cocroaches, they seem to invade everything that is important.

Absolutely agree with your take on the extreme ideas regarding marriage, along with every other social issue that they can twist into the most insane stances with which to cram down our throats. And the drooling morons buy it! There are some of the same elements here, but, thank God, are limited to small pockets.

Glad you enjoyed the article – I have it bookmarked, so will pull it up and read it from time to time and forward to one and all that I possibly can – sorta spreading the good word for a change.

the voice. The sound of it is comforting and makes one feel safe. Just my perception, but each one of us has our own. Maybe it falls back to infancy and childhood when you would be comforted by your parents and others who loved you … the voices would stay with you in some part of your memory bank.

You can call me anything you want, just don’t call me late to supper, You don’t know how flattered I am that you would even mention me.

Scope is one of the most approachable people here. Of course, she is very special to me in that she sought me out. In fact, I recall her saying (I think) that she had “talked” to me on another site somewhere, but I didn’t remember it. Boy, I had been on some sites that were so disgusting and then, for some reason, I saw the RS link and came here. Had never heard of it. Guess when Scope saw my handle (used it on other sites too), she recognized me because here she came. Now that is extra special. I was about to give up the wars, when all of these things came together – thank the Lord above. I can babble freely here without getting all of my hair yanked out!

That involves this: whenever you are helped by someone, the only way you can really repay that kindness is to help the next in-need-of-help person you see and on down the line. I live by that credo and believe it helps, even if in a tiny way, the world a little nicer place.

Aren’t you just the sweetie discussing all these mess at RS with your family? I love it! Lordy, hope they don’t forbid you to talk to me with some of things I come up with to say! But, just like me, you are getting a totally free education like no other!

Yep, 80% change of rain this afternoon and the radar looks like it is headed for a direct hit. LOVE IT! Love the rain, the thunder and just want to curl up and take a nap. And we sure do need it – as well as OK and parts of NM, AR, and I think a little of LA. At any rate, we will accept whatever we get and be grateful.

are having! Sorry, but I just love to “eavesdrop,” HA

I just heard Rush say (paraphrasing here) something along the lines of ” … Cain is going down in the polls … FINALLY.” I just knew he couldn’t let us down – he had a strategy going on!
