Good Morning to all my Favorite American Patriots and Friends
The Republican Party still insists on being “The Nice Guys” by campaigning against America instead of Obama. Gen. Colin Powell told Sen. Clinton and Sen. McCain to stop attacking Obama’s background in 2008 concerning his ties with Wright, Ayers and Muslims. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27265369/ns/meet_the_press/t/powell-endorses-obama-president/ With help from the George Soros / Jeff Immelt Media it still continues today and will guarantee Obama’s re-election.
Four years ago before Pelosi & Reid took over there was nothing wrong with America.
Mr. Nice Guy didn’t work in 2008 and won’t work in 2012 I fear.
I could not agree with you more Jerry and thank you for the link
You’re so right. There is so much damaging information against Obama, yet we refuse to use it. Meanwhile, they have no problems trashing Republicans, whether it’s true or not. We need to fight fire with fire. This is too important to play Mr. Nice Guy.
Ron Paul could just surprise us all just as Newt has. It is way too early to know how this will all wash out.
What worries me is that if Paul doesn’t win the primary he may run as a third party candidate.
He has already floated that possibility.
I fear that that would almost guarantee Obama’s re-election.
Ross Perot tried that and that’s how we got Bill Clinton.
That is a very serious concern AFVET and one I will be watching closely

Top Adviser Says Cain Will Most Likely Endorse Newt Gingrich
Since announcing Saturday that he would bow out as a candidate but still remain active in the Republican primary race for president, there has been much speculation about who Herman Cain will endorse among his former rivals. POLITICO reports Sunday that a top adviser has said that his boss plans to endorse surging Newt Gingrich:
“’He wants to play ‘who to endorse’ for a while,’ said the adviser, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to speak bluntly. ‘Then he’ll probably be endorsing somebody in a couple weeks — before the caucuses…. I‘d say he’s going to endorse Newt Gingrich,’ the adviser said.”
