‘McCain may be a nutjob, but he’s not prone to embellishment.’

He lost me with the Keating Five, then reaffirmed I was correct in not supporting him with his decade long snide attacks on conservatives like myself. CFR just reinforced my position on him.

” Thompson’s a straight-shooter.”

I had high hopes for Fred Thompson, but his ‘walking’ for the Presidency, instead of Running for the Presidency has kept him from being taken seriously by the voters in the primaries, as the polls demonstrate conclusively. I wish that wasn’t the case.

’ I have no reason to doubt Paul’s sincerity, only his sanity.’

So you’ll overlook his insanity, but not one line in a Romney speech, even though its certain he’s not insane? No way I’d ever vote for the Ronulan, see my tag line.

” And Hunter also seems to be a straight-shooter. Pick one of them.”

Like Thompson, I’ve been disappointed with his performance in the debates leading up to the primaries. He can’t win the GOP nomination for the simple reason that while his positions are pretty good, his delivery and ability to lead is lacking. Again, I wish it wasn’t so.

You want me to support candidates that have low to zero chance of being in the game come November of 2008.

I appreciate your straight answer, thank you.

As an amateur political adviser, I would advise a client to tell the truth when he is giving a speech about his faith.

The subject at hand was honesty. Of the seven guys officially in the race (let's not count Keyes or Cox here), three of them have serious honesty problems, four don't.

If you want to talk about other issues, that's for different topics, but I will point out if your only reason for not liking Thompson or Hunter is that you're disappointed in their polling status, you're doing yourself a disservice. The only polls that matter are the ones where they actually count votes. Let's see how those go before we write anyone off, shall we?
