How about he starts today?
and to someone else ...No, Sarah is not the new conservative Messiah.
I see wisdom in your words, Joe. ;-)
Someone disagreee with you:
Welcome Back, Dad
I've been trying to convince my fellow conservatives that they have been wasting their time in a fruitless quest for a new Ronald Reagan to emerge and lead our party and our nation. I insisted that we'd never see his like again because he was one of a kind. I was wrong! Wednesday night I watched the Republican National Convention on television and there, before my very eyes, I saw my Dad reborn; only this time he's a she. And what a she! This was Ronald Reagan at his best -- the same Ronald Reagan who made the address known now solely as "The Speech," which during the Goldwater campaign set the tone and the agenda for the rebirth of the traditional conservative movement that later sent him to the White House for eight years and revived the moribund GOP. Welcome back, Dad, even if you're wearing a dress and bearing children this time around.
~Michael Reagan, son of President Ronald Reagan
With God's help, we may still turn this country back around and get it headed in the right direction again.
Eisenhower was a so so President because he was used to being a General. The congress wouldn’t do what he told them, so he spent a lot of time on the golf course. But this country needs is a positive results oriented person who actually has managerial and executive experience. Also someone who has an emotional attachment to this country and hasn’t hidden all their past life’s records. And someone who is not beholden to an international union and knows the difference between campaigning and governing. Maybe a former governer of a far north state? Bottom line, senators make for pretty rotten presidents. They just don’t have the experience for the job and the Presidency is not a place for on the job training.
This is not a bad idea, based on what I know. Petraeus’s views are largely unknown to me, but I think he could have potential.
Ike was a RINO failure. Taft/McArthur should have been the ticket for 1952.
I wish Ike has run as a democrat. That way it would have them that would have got creamed in the 1958 midterms.
He’s a total wild card.
He could be a terrific party-unifying choice. Or not. We don’t know where he stands on the issues.
I wonder if he is really interested. The suggestion has been made since 2008. Does he have something to do with it? Or is just all pure speculation? I don’t think anyone knows.
I think he has turned out to be a one of the great generals of all time however in the very beginning of the Iraq War there was troops that called him General Betrayus...
We can’t afford ANY MODERATES or RINOS...if that’s the case. We need someone who will go in and BURN DOWN THE DEMONCRAT’S PLAYHOUSE. Someone who knows where all the rat’s nests are.....
America, the Constitution, liberty hanging by a prayer. We need ACTION.
I don’t want another Eisenhower. If Adlai Stevenson had won in ‘52 or ‘56, the GOP would’ve had hefty majorities in Congress by the end of his term. Ike was a disaster for the party that took until Reagan to begin to recover from (and Bubba for the House).
