Sounds like an endorsement for Walker?

The problem is the Primary fight as I will vote for anyone the GOP puts up. I am not going to sit back and watch Hitlery finish off the corpse obongo leaves.

If it came down to Jeb or Rubio in the Florida primary, I’d take Rubio. I will never vote for a Bush again.

Between Rubio and Walker, I’d take Walker.

Huckabee, aside from his gun rights stand, is not a serious candidate in my opinion.

Light in the loafers Graham, NO WAY.

Dr. Carson sounds good has no executive experience and is anti gun so I would never vote for him in a primary.

JenDULL, no flare for me.

The press is trying to push Bush now that Romney has flamed out. Yes there is even some support for Rubio, I heard Krauthammer voice his delight a few weeks back so that pretty much says it all there.

We have to be careful we do not let the press pick our candidate. There are plenty of good ones to choose from but each has at least one wart.

“Sounds like an endorsement for Walker?”

Walker, Bush, Huckabee, and the recently departed Romney all have executive management experience running organizations. Graham, Rubio and Carson do not. Of course George W. Bush had executive experience as governor of Texas yet he didn’t even try to take on the bureaucracy or make tough spending choices to balance the nation’s books.

The George W. Bush fiasco demonstrates that executive experience doesn’t always equate to administrative competence. Bush’s “compassionate conservatism” philosophy resulted in him being fiscally irresponsible. He just couldn’t find a bill to veto. Better to pile up debt on future generations than experience the wrath of the press and the Democrats for being unkind to the poor.

Walker is the only one I’ve seen demonstrate an ability to make hard choices, tack the flack, and persevere. The others talk a game but have never been tested. This includes the Bush brother who was a reasonably good governor in Florida but never had to walk directly into the liberal buzz saw on a matter of principle. He even dodged the Terry Schaivo issue.

At this point in the game I am for no one. We are a year away from the primary season. A lot can happen. Who knows, maybe Bush will flame out, and Romney will return. Trump may throw his hat in the ring. McCain might even decide to run again. Even Palin might get the bug and mount an aggressive campaign.
