The media twits are all about news of negatives, and so long as they continue to spew their ugliness over this nation I do not expect to see a change. Oh and it will be all under the name of peace, peace, peace, and love, love, love like right out of the 60’s so called peace freaks pretenders while they strip US clean bare. While the media freaks sit high atop their ivory towers pushing ‘hate’ crimes legislation they are the very purveyors of hate with their twisted holy than thou twisted accusations of who are the grassroots of hate. (pithy eh?)
I really don’t have a problem with the Republican candidates. I frankly don’t get the animosity.
Were Bush and Forbes really that much better in 2000? Bush has never been able to speak off the cuff, and nor has he been much of a small government-type guy. Forbes was goofy.
Then there’s 1996 and Bob Dole.
Fred Thompson is folksy and can deliver a speech. He’s likealbe. Yes, he has health problems. Yes, he probably is a little too close to Bush in his mannerisms. But he conveyes strong leadership, and that’s pretty unmistakeable. I think his failure to launch a campaign could hurt him and his organizational skills seem lacking, but we shall see. He’s a straight shooter.
I see Romney as articulate and polished as a candidate comes. No one comes close to equalling his resume or his successes on either side of the aisle. He can launch a zinger. He has evolved on some issues and admits as much, but who hasn’t? Personally, I think he’s having a much harder time winning the Republican nomination than he’d have in the White House.
You also have Duncan Hunter and Tom Tancredo. Neither great at delivering a speech, but rock solid and unwavering conservatives from the get-go. Strong on defense and the border. Hunter voted a little much on the pork. Tancredo has been the exact opposite and a strong fiscal conservative and small government Republican.
Giuliani is charismatic. Fiscally conservative and strong on defense. Weak on social issues and immigration, yes. But light years better than any Dem. Plus, he was governing from NYC.
