Well, he would probably know better than you, don’t you think?
No, he’s not. And at least he has a track record of getting things done. Hell, it’s over anyway..I can see that unless it’s the perfect candidate, conservatives aren’t going to do anything..and that’s how we’ve ended up where we are. We have a huge part of the blame for all that is going wrong today. And we’re going to be the ones who stand to lose the most.
The worst part is we eat out our own when a American stands up and points out we are under attack they are laughed at Like Buchanan and Bachmann we need to get the Party straightened out NOW and Put in real leadership not this Collin Powell wanna bee OR we leave it forever and never have power again.
He has no choice. he is an employee of the President.
The Republican party is lost in a RINO Reservation.
Mr. Petraeus is defintiely going into politics and Obama knows it.
After the General gets the job done, Obama and the MSM will try to destroy him, just like Sarah.
The political future for Petraeus is well known in DC.
Petraeus is very aware that saying that we were less safe would be a very bad statement to make in light of our enemies’ habits of taking advantage of every statement and action if it is to their advantage.
After Bush disappointed so many Conservatives on so many occasions, we need to elect a person that we know will fulfill promises to return America to Reagan's vision... a Shining City on a Hill. newt is not and never again could be that person. At this point in time, Palin is the only person that has a track record of governing truthfully and as a Reagan Conservative... just like Reagan did himself.

Wow! I was just rambling on along these lines on another thread only seconds ago!
No argument from me there. Thank you for your insight.
We are in a war of ideas, and we aren’t talking about ideas - we’re arguing policy.
And therefore we lose.
Good summary of the problem.
I think it was GHW Bush who first admitted to having problems with "the vision thing". Apparently, he was not the only one, nor the last one.
And that’s what it really comes down to. Steele is winning elections.
A third party would be a disaster for the conservative cause. Why not get involved in the Republican party and help take it back for our side?
Yes.
That’s his job.
And it’s a secular position.
“Why not get involved in the Republican party and help take it back for our side?”
I’ve been involved with the Republican party since 1972 and it is not the same party nor will it ever be what it once was. There are far too many secular Republicans that meld right in with the centrist democrats. Sorry but the RINO led party will never let a Sarah Palin take charge and lead as a conservative.
So then, what values do you want to have advocated and how would those manifest themselves in the form of public policy?
Steele is a loser.
Just like McCain.
Newbie.
The RINO’s will not win, and the party will not die out.
The intellectual dwarves, gnomes, and a smattering of pedophiles cannot raise enough money to use a payphone.
Some one at the top levels of the party is being blackmailed over pictures of them and a prepubescent child. We need to check police reports for the past thirty years, find out who the sicko perv is and out the b-st-rd.
Explain Huckabee and James Earle McLame any otherr way.
Start in Washington DC, Jan 20, 1981. Look long and hard at the police reports for that night.
