McCain’s straight-talk express is something the MSM has championed to give Hillary a GOP target they can destroy. He doesn’t excite anyone but the MSM. Posted on 02/26/2007 11:28:32 AM PST by Cincinatus' Wife
No one electable is “suitable” for those sitting in the right side of the tent. If the GOP wants to hold the White House, it needs to be smart. Four or eight years of another Clinton White House will put us back where we were. We’re still trying to dig Clintonistas out of the woodwork in order to fight for conservative causes.
McCain’s straight-talk express is something the MSM has championed to give Hillary a GOP target they can destroy. He doesn’t excite anyone but the MSM.
The no-name recognition problems of good people like Brownback and Hunter 
are goint to keep them from getting traction for the top of the ticket. They’re great guys but they won’t win the general election. They could be teriffic VP candidates.
Newt Gingrich is brilliant and has great ideas but his name recognition has been poisoned by the MSM.
Mitt Romney seems a likable fellow but his religious affiliation bothers too many voters.
Rudy Giuliani had two failed marriages. He has survived elections in New York by adapting a liberal social platform to a conservative management platform – big negatives for those who vote on purely social issues.
But Rudy is going to be the GOP candidate. He can take on Hillary with one hand tied behind his back and a smile on his face. The country loves this man. The sooner we start to draw together behind him, the better.
States have pushed the primaries toward early next year. Getting behind Giuliani now will enhance GOP chances in the general election. The MSM can’t make him evil as they have other Republican candidates. The man is a talented politician and everyone running for the job of President of the United States now-a-days is a politician.
Hillary has no intention of letting Barak Obama 
be the Democrat Party nominee. Even though her negatives are off the charts, she is determined to win the nomination. Let the feminazis and Clinton adorers, eager for a return of the Bill/Hill Whitehouse, push her into the top DNC slot.
A year from now it is going to be Hillary vs Rudy. Who do you think the majority of Americans will want in the White House?
This is politics 101 not Sunday school class. The president is an executive and not a religious leader.
My vote is for Rudy.
Rudy and Romney are typical northeast socialists with an "R" by their name.. It is TRUE that McLaim is crazy as a box of rocks.. But he ALSO blows smoke in the same back room the democrats devise their sedition(s) and knows all the handshakes.. as does Rudy and Mitt..
Actually America currently does NOT WANT a conservative of any stripe.. as President.. They WANT a liberal and will have one.. Needless to say that liberal WILL BE Hitlery after Oprah and DeGeneres and Letterman and Leno link up the ditz vote.. (mostly but not all women)..
Bush has himself fractured the republican vote.. on purpose..
BRILLIANT deed actually.. 2008 will make 2006 look like just practice..
Could take republicans ten years to figure that out.. about Bush..
Then hold off....you know how good Rudy was in N.Y.C.; he'll be BETTER for the country! You can come on board later. :-)
Oh for Christ's sake. THE PRIMARIES ARE NOT FOR ALMOST A YEAR. STOP THE MADNESS!
Well that IS what politicians do!
'perfect' politician = oxymoron
Tell that to the 27,000 people whose gun permits he revoked.
If the GOB (Good Ol' Boys) political machine has decided to foist pro-abortion, anti-gun, pro-illegal-immigrants Guiliani on us, then I will stay home November 3, 2008. Period.
It's not my fault if that puts Clinton in.
Maybe I'll move to Bongo-Bongo then.
LOL! When you get it straightened out, let me know. ;*)
I expect to see your application in the next few months, not a year. But hey, time flies.
Being the Jr Sen rather than the current one, is always better. ;*)
Well, there it is again. But then, we all know that you don't have to follow FR rules.
I'm just overwhelmed by all (five) supporters. LOL
Who were you before you were banned, or is it that you just have several nics?
Hey 5 in 3 hours isn't a bad take. ;*)
I am not easily "shocked", nor surprised.
We already established that is NOT a rule! I trust you sent the $10 check off to FR in my name for losing that bet.
My lips are sealed! :-)
Nice attempt at intimidation!
