You're using BOB DOLE as an example of a credible Republican?! LOL Bob Dole was, is and will forever be (in my opinion) a liberal (which as a side note is why he lost to Clinton in 96). Of course his ideas are anathema to the Freedom Party.

I find it quite interesting you're using the term Freedom Party to refer to the GOP. Are you a fan of Harry Turtledove? The Southern Victory series is quite well done.

I was actually referring to the Tea Party, but it applies to the GOP too since we're taking over

Oh my. This is unfortunate...

He's right, it is inevitable.  And after all GOP ideology is already indistinguishable from the Tea Party.

No, no, it's unfortunate he used Freedom Party (in Turtledove's Southern Victory series, a far-right, populist, anti-socialist, Confederate nationalist, white supremacist party).

This election is NOT close.  Polls are full of s***.  Most Americans haven't started to pay attention to this yet.  As soon as they do and they compare Obama to Mittens they will either (A) stay home or (B) pull the lever for the guy in the White House.

Do you know who wins Presidential elections?  The guy who most Americans would like to have a beer with.  Thinking otherwise is naive.

Why would you not want to have coffee with Romney?  Is it because you are a liberal?  

Obama's a handsome guy, but he's raising taxes on the middle class (who don't have welfare) and small businesses to pay for universal health care.  There are a lot of Americans who are not happy with this.  

Romney's a smart successful guy who has done a lot in his life and achieved a lot.  It would be very interesting to have coffee with him.  

Actually, Romney can't have coffee either, as Mormons can't have that.

So it'd be non-alcoholic beer & decaf?

Most Mormons shy away from both of those things, but technically, yes, he could have those.





So would these work?

I used to think you were a good poster, but it is obvious you are a hack.  Southern Victory was not at all done well.  Turtledove can do some good writing, so long as it isn't longer than one novel in length, but his multivolume timelines are largely junk.  I only picked up the first volume of his new Supervolcano series because I thought it was a standalone.

It's not that bad, compared to, say, a certain series that has sold 116 million copies in 38 different languages that's been/being made into 5 movies.

So if stuff like alcohol and coffee is banned, is say rum cake or tiramisu prohibited as well?
