Everyone here seems to be full of piss and vinegar about ONE candidate (different candidates for each Freeper.) That will never win the general election. What if we put each of the major candidates into one of four categories:
1) Favorite - This is my guy!
2)Tolerable - Not my first choice, but I'll work to get out the vote for him against the Dim nominee.
3) Whatever - I'll vote GOP, but don't ask me for any help.
4) Hell no! - I'll sit out or hold my nose and vote for Hillary!!!
I suspect this will tell us more about each other than about the candidates.
1) Fave - Still don't have one. (Need one by Feb 5.)
2) Tolerable - Huck, Romney, Fred, Hunter.
3) Whatever - Rudy, McCain.
4) Hell no! - None are worse than Hillary and Obama.
Run Paul is a 3, sneaking up toward a 2. This country NEEDS some Constitutional foundation. I'm obviously not happy with his defense posture.
It’s truly disheartening to me that the American public is filled with so many people who live and die by the soundbite.
Fred Thompson is BY FAR the most substantive, thoughtful conservative candidate in this race - in fact, I’d say he’s the best this country has seen since Reagan. In a heads-up contest against any Dem candidate - where the MSM would have no choice but to sit back and let Fred speak directly to the entire nation - he would easily expose their vacuous posturing and preening.
And yet, who are the Republican party bouncing back-n-forth for the nomination?
The Preacher, the Pilot, and the Pompadour.
Pathetic.
#1. Fred Thompson
All the rest are hell no.
1) Fred Thompson
2) Duncan Hunter
3) Rudy
4) Huckabee,McCain,RuPaul
5) Willard Myth Romney
I agree with Al Southern Man; Fred Thompson #1. Everyone else — hell no!
Favorite: Thompson
Next: Romney, Giuliani
Sit home: McCain, Huckabee.
Fred A++++
Mitt B
McCain C+
Rudy D
Paul F
Huck F-
Hunter could get an A but he isn’t viable.
One what planet are Hillary and Obama preferable to Mitt, Huck or Duncan?
1) Favorite: Hunter
2) Tolerable: Thompson
3) Whatever: all the others
“Fred Thompson is BY FAR the most substantive, thoughtful conservative candidate in this race -”
BTTT
Where did I mention the democrats in my post?
I only have two:
1. Fred Dalton Thompson
2. Whomever is the GOP nominee
We need to keep the dem candidate, whomever he/she/it is, out of the White House.
Hunter- 1
Thompson- 2, almost 1
McCain, Huckabee- 3
Paul, Romney, Giuliani- 4
Fave: Fred, Duncan
Hell No: Everyone else
1) Thompson
2) Romney - distant 2nd, but he has less negatives than the rest of them.
3) Paul - yeah, he’s a kook isolationist, but he’s constitutionally based and I’m basically an isolationist too.
4) Huckabee, McCain, Giuliani - I’d rather vote for Obama and get a GOP-minority congress to stonewall everything.
1) Favorite: Keyes
2) Tolerable: Hunter
3) Whatever: all the others
That’s a solid clip!!!
Fave: Hunter
Next Fave: Thompson (he is more than just Tolerable)
Tolerable: Romney, Huckabee, Paul
Whatever: Rudy
Hell No: McAmnesty
