We can’t be this desperate. Please, somebody tell me we’re not this desperate?

LOL. Nope, we're desperate. I keep scanning the horizon for another Ronald Maximus who can bring us together. Ain't nobody there.

Is it because the short list of nominees is being dictated to us by the Fox News crawl?

I have nothing against Fox per se, and they've done America good service overall. But they seem to want to be the GOP propaganda arm lately (i.e. The Huckabee Show??!), driving things instead of merely reporting on them.

The 'republican brand' has been going down hill since GHWB occupied the Oval Office. That is a 20-year slide.

You are right -- there ain't nobody on the horizon to rally behind. Many tried to push Thompson (McCain-lite) in 08, but the most he got was 1 (IIRC) delegate vote before dropping out.

Most of the names being tossed against the wall just don't have the 'umph' to go up against Obama, especially if Obama sees some moderate success prior to the '12 election. Like Clinton, it will take more the average GOP nominee to defeat Obama. Another Dole or McCain or Gingrich or Huckabee or Romney, etc., just doesn't have that 'umph' that will be needed.

Reality bites.

As you probably know, Sean Hannity, FOX NEWS, was supposed to have had a special report Sunday, 9 Aug 09, but it never materialized. For whatever reason, they aired an episode that was done earlier in the week. Why was it pulled? Listening and watching the segments below of that proposed show will enlighten you as to just what is going on in America.

To everyone who thought the special about Obama was going to be on Hannity, it was taken off. Here are the segments. You’d better watch now before they are removed too.

Here are the 6 segments, if they haven’t been removed before you get to them.
