The Republican Party deserves to win in 2012 only if it recognizes that it deserved to lose in 2008.
bump.
So the author being uspet with the GOP Establishement bots in the race thinks it can be saved by having another GOP Liberal Politician enter the race?
There is ONLY one GOP candidate with a real plan to seriously reduce the size and scope of the Fed Government.
That is Herman Cain.
The rest, except for Paul, are good little crony capitalist GOP Establishment water boys.
Odd that this author ignores that fact that Cain’s 9-9-9 plan eliminates all the “Corporate welfare” he is so upset about
And yet somehow this guy manages to not mention Cain at all in his commentary. Hmmmm.
“There is ONLY one GOP candidate with a real plan to seriously reduce the size and scope of the Fed Government.”
Umm, I think you are forgetting Newt Gingrich. He actually has a detailed plan and it’s even more extensive. Rick Perry is also heavily against more government and so is Bachmann.
Don’t get fixated on finding the perfect candidate unless you will accept the definition of the perfect candidate as ANYONE who can beat Obama.
Remember the first step to reducing the size and scope of government is to GET ELECTED. This is where IMO both Cain and Bachmann have a big problem. I don’t think either one can win in a general election. Both have a problem that can’t be fixed, even though it’s not their fault nor does it really make sense, but it’s there for both of them. I won’t elaborate any more than that other than to say it’s just not their time.
What is Perry's plan? I would love to see it. So far all we have gotten out of him is nice speeches full of empty platitudes and slogans. It part of the problem he is having with Conservatives.
“Odd that this author ignores that fact that Cain’s 9-9-9 plan eliminates all the “Corporate welfare” he is so upset about”
First recognize this article was written by a lib that is pretending to be republican.
Yes, Perry has not articulated a plan like Cain or Gingrich but he usually takes the position that government is the problem not the solution. As long as you understand and live by that principle then a “plan” can always be done later.
That being said I think it’s the detail that Cain and Gingrich have laid out that is boosting them in the polls.
Thank you. Rereading it in that light, it does become clear he is a Lefty
“That is Herman Cain.”
Amen, brother and say Hi to EC
The thing that I’ve noticed about Cain is he is truly an intelligent guy. He has a scientific type mind with practical business sense, a rare combination. He understands basic business which is not really all that complicated yet it eludes so many of otherwise seemingly intelligent people.
Perry is leaving a vacuum that allows his critics to define him.
Every politician is going to have good and bad in his record. Not laying out an agenda allows the critics to focus on the bad parts and ignore any good parts
She says HI back!
Note that this clown’s first priority is to GUT THE MILITARY. This is NO ACCIDENT and it’s precisely the problem with these LIBERTARIAN types. They think the military is some uncontrollable beast. In fact our military is now less than 4% of our GNP, much lower than its post-war average, and maybe the lowest in history.
If he wants credibility, he would deal with ENTITLEMENTS and all the other crap Washington is spending money on (with that crap now being twice military spending, itself). Otherwise, he can go to hell.
The military is NOT
This article is so wrong on so many levels it is difficult to write a proper response.
I will simply state it is more of the same “Isolationist” and “anti-war” nonsense that is a severe threat to national security. Such isolationism led to the Second World War....I hope we don’t make that mistake again.
