right now he is getting annoying. I like the surface information, but this weasly clark style of campaign is just plain nutty.
In or out, make up his mind.
Choose the Pubbie who
can beat Hillary.
I agree totally. I will vote for any Pubbie who can beat Hillary.
“I can tell you that were it not for Thompson we would all be singing hail to Hitlery Klintoon next year unless Giuliani were the GOP canidate.
Apparently in a nation of 300 million people the GOP can’t seem to come up with anybody to lead them other than an abortion lover and a guy who marries a woman half his age.”
..............Instead of trashing Rudy, perhaps all the cons could COME UP WITH A POWERHOUSE CANDIDATE.
“Its going to be fun to see Jeri Thompson as First Lady.
She would be the hottest is US history, she can campaign on an “at least I’m not an ugly communist retard” plank”
She can also campaign on the fact that she has never stapled a puppy.
Young guys, (he said while considering his own age)
Let’s keep our fingers crossed.
He’s a likable guy.
In a hurry or illiterate?
In a hurry or illiterate?
I’d also like for him to announce his intentions.
We’ve worked so hard to expose Rooty’s liberal views here. I knew it was only just a matter of time before the general public began to see his true colors shining through. From flipping about on abortion, gun control, homo rights, immigration, to a crappy personal life, Rooty is starting his spin down the political toilet. I hope he is flushed altogether pretty soon.
And Rudy had cancer as well. So did McVain.
But you only point out that Fred did, weasel-boy.
I agree with you about holding all the candidates’ feet to the fire.
I vehemently oppose McCain-Feingold. Fred was mistaken in that he supported limits on soft money; he accurately assessed soft money corruption problems, but his solution was wrong. However, he also fought McCain and the Senate donks to substantially raise the limits on individual contributions, and made the case on the Senate floor that these contributions are free speech (let me know if you want the links — I don’t want to spam you). So, I think his record is mixed on that front.
Overall, his record is truly outstanding on the Constitution: he introduced the Federalism Enforcement Act and other federalism initiatives in order to get the federal government out of areas the states/people rightly own per the Constitution; he introduced the Regulatory Right to Know Act to rein in the unelected bureaucracy that increasingly writes the law; he commonly quoted our Founders and our founding documents when arguing for smaller, more accountable, Constitutional federal government.
So, in the context of this remarkably solid record consistently rooted in a Constitutional philosophy, I am much more apt to view his error on the soft money part of McCain-Feingold as a sincere mistake.
Giuliani’s record, on the other hand, seems to be based on nothing consistent except a quest for power. So, in my mind he has much less credibility. For me, the jury’s still out on Romney.
Thanks for the ping. This is happening faster than I expected.
Geez, you get pissed if I bring up Rudy and you get pissed if I dont. Sure is no satisfying some folks, F- face.
“This is happening faster than I expected.”
It sucks to peak about a year before the votes in the first states are cast.
Interesting take...for me the jury is still out on a bunch of them; although I am leaning toward Thompson.
I was at a Cinco de Mayo street party celebration in a good-sized town in southern Arizona over the weekend and the local Republican Party had a tent-booth. I was talking with the folks manning the booth and expected them to be pretty firmly in McCain’s camp. All four were solidly, vocally against McCain and expressed the same longing for a real conservative to emerge so they could justify rallying for whoever it would be.
Interesting. My brother lives in Phoenix, and he is also against McCain. He liked Giuliani at first, but has turned against him as information on his record has come out. He is now hoping Thompson jumps in. I’ve been meaning to check in with him about Romney, to see if Mitt’s performance in the debate influenced him at all.
Have you seen Fred on TV recently? He looks more frail than I imagined. Disturbing.
