Isn’t Larry a citizen of Conn.?

Kudlow has always been one of my heroes.

Conservatives, be warned, LK has some issues in his past.

However, he has had the courage to overcome his weaknesses, and he is a model citizen and true conservative leader.

Larry’s a very accomplished guy. Methinks he won’t step into the race unless he is 100% in and in it to win.

I wish Peter Schiff would do similarly in CT, instead of nibbling around the edges. Otherwise, we could use another business titan (besides Linda McMahon) to step in up there.

I was just about to post the fact that ANY Republican should be squeaky clean. The Media will nail to the wall anyone not kowtowing to them; anyone connected to the Right and the Tea Party Movement. I hope his issues don’t offend the purists on the Conservative side.

The "issue in his past" which bothers me is not the one you have in mind.

It's his Sept 2008 support for TARP.

No one who supported that atrocity will ever get a vote from me.

We did need to do something, in the financial sector.
TARP was mishandled, and has become a political slush fund.

However, do not let the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Kudlow is FAR FAR FAR better than Schumer, and Kudlow might actually win.

Do you have any other ideas?

If not, get with the program!

"a Draft Kudlow movement"

I seem to remember in Imperial Earth
Arthur C. Clarke conjectured that the
President should be drafted, dragged into
the White House kicking and screaming,
and only let out for good behavior.

Works for me.

“Conservatives, be warned, LK has some issues in his past.”

Um... Yeah. And I don’t think those will play well on the campaign circuit.

Did you jump on Scott Brown for his Cosmo picture?

Did you jump on the investigative reporter, who got busted in Senator Landreu’s office?

“We all fall short of the Glory of God” -—

Conservatives who expect all other conservatives to be perfect are hypocrites, as they can not be perfect, themselves!

Kudlow would be great.

If a firefighter came to your house, to put out a fire, would you do a background check on him first, and then a drug check, and then a credit check, before letting the firefighter do his job?

It is the way that Kudlow would VOTE in the Senate, that counts.

You act as though you are St. Peter, guarding the gates of Heaven.

Get over yourself.

Politics is NOT about saving souls.

Politics is about getting those who agree with you to the polls!

Larry needs to run - don’t forget how Schumer would NOT get off his cell phone on the plane and he called the stewardess a bitch! THAT IS HOW HE FEELS ABOUT REGULAR FOLKS - SO, REGULAR FOLKS NEED TO GIVE CHUCKY THE FINGER! THE THUMB as in YOU’RE OUT!

“Conservatives, be warned, LK has some issues in his past.”


True. But we’ve posted before a very B I G difference.

Larry Kudlow is one man who has been honest and upfront about his past, and has exposed his past along with the solutions that worked for him. I have heard him do that on his own radio program. He hasn’t tried to brush it under the rug, and admits his moral/personl failures. He has a definite marker in life when he dealt with those things and straightened them out, and started on the road upwward . . .

. . . upward to helping others in similar situations to get out of their vices and head upwards.

In Kudlows case, if Schumer or the Dems were to try to use those things, I think it would turn to bite them in the tail end. And that would be without Larry having to be vicious about Schumer’s or others’ moral problems.

Kudlow also thinks Pelosi is a despicable person. Gotta like that.

TARP was in many ways the template for Obamanomics. Anyone who would support it has a minimal grasp at best of how the free market works, notwithstanding their mouthing all the right-sounding phrases as Kudlow does.

Yes we did. We needed to insist that housing and housing backed assets be allowed to seek a market, equilibrium price, and that assets holders take their writedowns like grown men.

We still need to do that. We haven't done so yet.

“Conservatives, be warned, LK has some issues in his past.”

Agreed. IMO the cocaine addiction (which was not that long ago) makes this a lost cause.

In New York?
I don’t think so.

He beat his addiction, and is an inspiration to millions on that issue.

No institution is strong enough to survive a run on deposits.

This is truth -—

Liberals used that truth to get conservatives on board a financial bail out.

Then, liberals twisted the entire purpose of that bail out, after the fact.

Larry quit coke before Barry did, so he should be ok on that front.

Anyone who can be schmucky, I'm all for it.
