Sarah is thinking about running, so he won't be the worst candidate

Bullets,
 
The commoners on southeast texas (home of great intellectuals such as smitty) have their blinders on and will never understand that candidates will have to go full teabagger crazy in the primaries to get nominated which kills them in the general. Americans do NOT want some wackjob jesus freak as president. If people wanted religion intertwined into government they can move to the middle east where it's working amazingly well for them.
 

Steve.....Smitty....?

Looking at other political assassinations of that time period, I think that he was aware of his own fate yet it did not deter him. Some think it may have been prophetic when in his last speech (the day before he was killed) he stated, "I may not get there with you" and followed it up with "I'm not fearing any man!". 
 
His idea of civil disobedience was the correct way to protest and he and others of his ilk fought for civil rights in the courts and in the court of public opinion. 
 
I have read a few of his speeches and sermons from a book a few years ago and there is a lot more there than the often recited I Have A Dream speech. In one such sermon he stated, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that."  
 
Such perception could be used today. 

He was a very brave man that was needed in his time.

I'm referring to more of the social issues. I actually agree with you, at least to some extent, on lower taxes and smaller government impacts, and moderate republicans would too. but what many on this site want (and many in most ultra-conservative areas) is someone who's going to come out very outspoken against homosexuality, abortion, and be supportive of Christianity to the point where they'd violate the constitution to spread it if they could. There's no doubt there are some states where a person like that would take a majority of the votes, but a moderate republican would also take the same states over a democrat. Take Texas, for example. Our state would vote for Smitty if he ran for office. There are plenty of people in this state who feel that the more conservative a candidate, the better. That being said, it wasn't like Romney or McCain were in danger of losing Texas because they weren't conservative enough. The republicans could run out a monkey in a 3-piece suit and Texas would vote for him as long as he followed the red agenda. And consequently, there are many states that go the same way for Democrats. But I can guarantee you that ultra-conservatives who put a lot of stock in their conservative views of the social issues that I listed above will struggle in the battleground states in todays society of acceptance.

Republicans haven't even settled into their majority yet and are already trying to pass bills that will decrease their chances of regaining the presidency next election. Maybe one day they'll learn.

King you know you don't give a crap about nothing mlk said!

When the black police officer shot down the white guy at Oreilly auto parts in Orange Tx, there was no one on this board defending arnolds actions...... i guess it is what it is.

The motto seems to be, if he's brown shoot him down

Better watch out, your next president was born in Chicago!

Your not too fluent in anything, apparently.  But go ahead and try to explain what you were trying to say about the national guard and it's relationship to Bundy.

kind of reminds me of another group of idiots that also covered themselves in white sheets

Snl has made fun of many republican politicians also, its fair game

Word on the street is that Bill drugged these women with JELLO shots

Smitty seems as though you have a problem with black activist speeking for Obama, but you love to hear from black activist speeking against Obama

If the Dems want anything they just have to get Obama to be for it and the rehaticans will be against it!

Jerry Jones tried to compromise with Tom Landry and he would'nt budge, so Jones gave him his walking papers. 

Steve what are your thoughts on anybody black thats NOT a Republican?

people will get out and vote, wont be like the mid terms where nobody wanted to vote.

Condoleeza should not have been disinvited just because she was involved with the rehaticans.

too much Hannity and Limbaugh for Smitty
