Bump for later reading
I agree with that assessment for the most part.
Perry wouldn’t bring dramatic change, but he would be a competent leader in my opinion.
The real question is do we need more at this point in time than a competent leader, someone who can easily steer the ship of state in smooth waters when times are good.. and if you think we need more than that, then who on that stage do you think is most likely to bring about real change.
Honestly... I don’t know if any of them can actually change much, but I feel that Cain and or Bachmann would try the hardest to change things.
You have a valid point, and if you want more from a leader than we have had since Reagan then Perry is not your man, he would basically govern as W did.
Only Palin could have been what you want.
But since she isn’t running then Cain or Bachmann would be your best alternative.
Palin would of been a great president *sigh*
“Bottom line: I will NEVER vote for Willard. Ever.”
I’m with you, but my never extends even to a general election. If Romney is the GOP pick, then the GOP has left me the way Ronald Reagan said the Democrats left him years ago.
Perry wouldn’t bring dramatic change, but he would be a competent leader in my opinion.
If there is no dramatic change, then the country continues diving into the abyss.
I said this on another thread:
The goal is not to “get rid of 0bama” and therefore anyone no matter how terribly flawed is acceptable or better. The real goal is to “get rid of leftist/socialist/commie/fascist/homosexualist/etc etc crap”.
Replacing 0bama with a leftist-lite figure is little better. It’s not “just” 0bama, it’s the entire Leftist edifice. Romney is at very best a RINO. He is not a conservative. What we need is a restoration of the Constitution - a federal government reduced to its Constitutional duties ONLY.
Saying “Romney is better than 0bama” is like saying dying by a slow poison that kills you in a month is better than dying of a bullet directly to the brain.
Santorum and Bush.
Specter was strongly supported by President George W. Bush. Specter narrowly avoided a major upset with 51 percent of the primary vote. Once Specter defeated the challenge from the right, he was able to enjoy great support from independents and some Democrats in his race against Hoeffel.[4
Exactly, which is why I used quotes...
We were never a true team. The Vichy establishment are traders and have been from day one and they are every bit as loathsome and treacherous as the original Vichy who collaborated with the Nazi’s after France fell in 1940. Their goals and conservative goals are 180 degrees apart. They are liberals, just a cheap ass, snotty version of the real thing seeking power, pure and simple.
We conservatives were as the KGB used to say of western liberals: useful idiots to the Vichy establishment. I have heard for 20 yrs. the conservatives need to take the party back from the Vichy establishment and work from within.
Well, it’s not getting us anywhere. Somewhere down the line those principled conservatives in the republican party are going to have to stand up and say we are walking and start a new party. When this happens the country will pay a terrible price, but down the road a strong conservative party would be there to pick up the pieces when the liberals from both parties run the country into the ground.
This year we have a chance to elect a conservative for the first time since Reagan in 1980 and the Vichy establishment know this, thus their great pains to rig the whole primary process to keep one of their lackeys in place. If a conservative were to actually win, watch what happens. They will butt heads, but undermined and stabbed in the back more by the Vichy establishment than the democrats.
This is exactly what they're doing, and it was the topic of Rush's show yesterday: The GOP has openly declared war on its base.
“Saying “Romney is better than 0bama” is like saying dying by a slow poison that kills you in a month is better than dying of a bullet directly to the brain.”
Very well said!
