Note to the weak spined - some people have spines and a conscience, sometimes its not easy to do whats right. Jorge Bush has been a complete joke - dont even waste your time talking about the war on Terror when he lets them into our country. Dobson has a point - I will be voting my conscience its about damn time - no more RINOs.
Look, I don't want Rudy at all, I want Fred (actually, I'd be happiest with Duncan Hunter, but he will only win the Presidency when I have my eyes closed). Fred's a real conservative, even if not perfect. Which brings me to my point:
The Perfect is the enemy of the Good.
Seeking perfection and, as part of the process, throwing the Good overboard, is a fail-safe way to make sure that you get exactly NONE of what you want. Dobson's either too foolish or too full of himself to be able to see this.
I havent ruled out Thompson but my point is that the attack on Dobson is unjustified. Dobson has proven himself to be true to character, he is not perfect but at least he has convictions and I can appreciate that after voting for one of the worst presidents of all time and a true deciever Jorge.
Perfect is indeed the enemy of the Good. Great point.
My take, early on as it is, is: The only candidate that can defeat HRC is RG.
Maybe D. Hunter for VP would placate the good Dr.’s concerns, but I do not see how that would help too much from a demographic pov.
Besides, the president does not make law on abortion; but, he or she can seek to appoint judges who can change Roe, for the better (RG) or for the worse (HRC).
Dobson is rather full of himself. He opposes FT because FT is opposed to an anti gay marriage amendment to the constitution. Yeah, that’s a cogent position for a good conservative; give more power to the feds. Laws concerning marriage are and have always been the exclusive domain of the states. Also, despite comity, all states have laws giving them the option to ignore laws of other states that violate that state’s public policy, as gay marriage would for most states.
Because there is no constitutional right to gay marriage, a state’s refusal to recognize one should not run afoul of the Constitution.
I like FT, but man, he looked old, gaunt and tired at the debate. I think HRC would cream him. Coulter has a great column re: Fred and Huck. Huck is an abomination on immigration. I’m worried about that issue w/RG also.
Very interesting and fun to watch until one considers President Hillary Rodham - she’ll divorce Bill after she’s elected, change her name and start acting like a reincarnated Bella Abzug. Nightmare Central.
