Conservatives need to start looking forward just 4 years and start thinking about who will run against Hillary in 2008.
Allowing that creature to win will undermine this nation worse than the 8 years she had puppeteering through Bubba.
Suggestions for a candidate/team?
Ditto.
Folks...now is the time to do the research on Hillary. Now is the time. No more "dishonorably discharged" stories trying to rush out the week of the election.
There's nothing written in stone that says Hillary will run in 2008. Right now, the constant repetition about Hillary in 2008 is as damned old and annoying as the bullcrap that Hillary was going to arrange for Kerry to step down so she could run in 2004.
All the same, I'll say this much: it's plain that sticking to core Conservative values still wins elections. With that in mind, 2008 is no time to run a RINO for President. We need to stick with the party platform: pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, pro-defense and anti-U.N. (for starters).
Anything less is selling out the base that got Bush re-elected this year.
Yes, plus I think he would carry PA which ='s automatic win!
The country is pro-abortion. It's true and I don't like it either.
Rudy is the man for 2008----after he trounces Hillary's large behind for the senate in 2006, thus removing her from consideration for 2008.
Tommy Franks
"Some fresh faces can emerge in four years"
Let's hope they are CONSERVATIVE faces. I can't hold my nose for Rudy or McCain.....
What about Schwarzkopf???!!
He endorsed Clinton.
Rudy proved his mustard by agressive campaigning all over, especially Ohio and Florida. He has nationwide appeal. A good guy.
Giuliani is a pro-abort, anti-gun "republican." There's no way in Hades I'll vote for him. And it doesn't matter how many idiots wave the Hillary boogeyman at me.
Rudy/Governator
"I wish he wasn't pro-abortion."
This is obviously the big issue. But is it possible that G could have a religious conversion on the issue? I mean, after all, he is never running for mayor again. Isn't he Catholic? Can't a priest go to him and quietly "minister" to him and help him see the truth? Not only would it help him avoid ruffling the Church, it might well get him the Presidency. Is that just crazy wishful thinking???
I believe Condi/Watts would be an excellent choice.
Condi Rice:
First, she's as conservative as the president and understands the dangers of our times.
Second, she's a woman - thereby taking away the novelty of Hillary running as a woman.
Third, she's black - this could help take away the stranglehold the dems have over them.
Fourth, she's very articulate and super intelligent - one of my favorite republican women...
J.C. Watts:
I can't imagine a better running mate for her than J.C. Watts - and it's not because of his race. He is also very articulate and sharp as a tack. But most importantly, just like Condi, he is a diehard conservative who doesn't bow to political pressures.
Rice/Watts '08!
NOT Bill Frist (already being floated).
NO Mr Milquetoast. In fact, let's now see if he can push the President's agenda with a 54 vote majority, the voters having done more of his job for him..
Look to the governors- the team of Ehrlich and Mike Steele in nearby Maryland may be worth watching to see if one of them can advance to national office.
We vote for convictions and ideals --
We'll find someone to carry the ball all the way to the goal line (again)
I like Rudy but Christians are not going to support him. I wouldn't, Arnold either.
Schwarzenegger will never be eligible for the position of President or Vice-President. Get used to it.
And running a pro-abort, anti-gun "republican" is stupid. The last thing our party should do is turn into Democrat Lite.
It's going to be Frist. I need to cogitate on VP, but Frist for POTUS
I would trust him on most of the important decisions.
