Speaking of the future candidacy of VP's......It is interesting just how much future power goes with primetime speaking engagements at the conventions. Never again should we tolerate giving the RINOs all that power. We need to make stars out of the right represenatives. There are not all that many opportunities to introduce the nation to your best and brightest.
We have had bad Republican Party leadership for a long time. Anyone else see that?
“Thoughts?”
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: I don’t like or trust Fred’s friends. And if Bush does not succeed in giving away our country, Fred will continue Bush’s traitorous work. The same crooks who bought off Bush are now buying off Fred.
Tancrado is one of the few who has been quietly fighting for our country for a long, long time. He has been loyal to us, and we need to be loyal to him. I for one owe him a lot for his true patriotism.
So Norm Coleman and Gov. Engler are not strong conservatives? Or, did you merely see the name Guiliani and start typing? I do not think he would name Guiliani to the ticket because of his strong base of support with social conservatives and the fact that Guiliani really will not be able to deliver anything to him in the end except distractions. But John Engler, if he could be convinced, would be a real, solid, conservative pick who is in a state that could swing back to the GOP in 2008.
Good point. I was not advocating Guiliani to begin with, but yours is another reason not to.
Also, Lynne Cheney recently jumped on Fred’s bandwagon.
I like the Cheneys, but for me that was a sign (a red flag if you will) that Fred would be taking up where Bush left off.
I would need to do more recent research on Coleman and Engler. But I have lost my patience for the argument that we should choose based only on strategy. The fact that you mixed up the list (if they are solid conservatives) made me think that your only priority was wining power. I happen to think that it is too early to say who can win. How about we pick the best man for the job and then present this honest and solid conservative to the American public and give them an opportunity to have a fantastic choice in the voting booth. They aren’t stupid. We just need to battle those liberal Democrat partisans in the media and make sure the public gets to know our candidate.

The latest Rasmussen poll shows Fred 5 percentage points behind Clinton.
You are a slanderous nut. I doubt Tom Tancredo would want the support of someone like you. Go back under your rock.
After having seen oreo cookies thrown at Lt. Governor Steele, and not even a wink by the media, I am both disgusted and in doubt.
“You are a slanderous nut. I doubt Tom Tancredo would want the support of someone like you. Go back under your rock.”
It isn’t nice to drink/get drunk in the morning.
At least sometime during the day you will pass out and leave the rest of us alone.
Drinking sure makes you good and mean.
Get some help.
He was in “No Way Out”? I saw that movie hundreds of times and don’t remember him. I guess I best watch it again.
The nut bowl is pretty empty, I don't think there is any "us" as far as you're concerned. Maybe at DU you could have some "us", here we don't like crackpots spouting totally unsupported attacks against conservative candidates. If you didn't get the message before, you got it now.
Put the bottle down and call AA.
Norm Coleman is not conservative. He is anti-abortion but on most other issues he is as liberal as his history as an east coast Democrat would lead you to believe. I will be surprised if he doesn't vote for the amnesty bill. Nice guy, though.
Garde la Foi, mes amis! Nous nous sommes les sauveurs de la République! Maintenant et Toujours!
(Keep the Faith, my friends! We are the saviors of the Republic! Now and Forever!)
LonePalm, le Républicain du verre cassé (The Broken Glass Republican)
Welllll, if there is a large undecided in that number, then that bodes well for Fred...otherwise, it is a real problem.
At least Prokopton has some evidence for his opinion.
It’s a real problem that an unannounced candidate who has spent NO money yet is within striking distance of Her Heinousness?
Ok.
Thoughts?
I don't consider Bush an "elite globalist" if you mean it in the same way Pat Buchanan means it.
He has certainly embraced the neocons. Who are "globalists". But so did a lot of conservatives.
Bush has been good on many things. Taxes, WOT, defense (e.g. SDI and the cancellation of that stupid ABM treaty), playing "rope a dope" on the Global Warning hoax, prolife etc.
Immigration being a glaring exception.
But the fact that Bush/Cheney supporters are backing Fred is no reason not to support him. I support Fred and supported Bush/Cheney. I still have their bumper stickers on my pickup truck to prove it.
