Huh?

[MineralMan]

Teve Torbes? Wasn't he running with Lamar Alexander II?

The vanity police will be here momentarily.

I know what you mean- I voted for him in the primary way back when...

[LiberationIT]

That post is a little too much like shuffling around the house in your robe and slippers and mumbling to yourself. You alright?

[SupplySider]

I know this will not make me very popular, but I wrote in Steve Forbes for President instead of voting for W.

[Drammach]

Well, ya know, in retrospect, maybe Steve Forbes...

[dinoparty]

Perhaps because he came across as a first-class nerd -- even more so than John F'n.

[jpsb]

Yes Cincinatue-Wife, we were right and now there is hell to pay.

You can rest assured that the hue and cry against a zillionare conservative would have been greater than ir was for W.

I was a Forbes man but in retrospect know the Rats would have treated him worse than W.

Lastly, a 12 year streak was not too shabby. To expect more based on the reality of history is not entirely reasonable.

[dinoparty]

I can't imagine Forbes standing on the rubble in NYC after 9/11, or rallying the country. Maybe that's just me.

[lilylangtree]

Forbes' mouth and chin always reminded me of the Joker in Batman played by Jack Nicholson.

Sometimes, you gotta' take it like a man, instead of a

Forbes fan BTTT.

I like Steve Forbes. But the sad reality of politics is that image plays a huge part. Steve Frobes comes across as a big nerd. No matter how correct what he says is.

I love W, but he can't talk his way out of a paper bag and the Dhims have used that to "imply" that he was stupid or worse. I guarantee you that if W was able to deliver a speech like Clinton, people would be talking about repealing the 22nd Amendment.

Our next guy/gal has to be able to deliver a speech without sounding like Jethro. If Newt didn't have so many negatives I'd say he would be great, 'cause he can talk rings around any halfwitted Dhim.

Why did Bush support Arlen Specter instead of the real conservative -- Pat Toomey ?

For that matter, why did the GOP support Doug Forester ( known loser ) over the real conservative, Bret Schundler in NJ ?

While we're at it,

And why did the GOP not support the real conservative in Rhode Island -- Stephen Laffey and supported the Democrat in GOP clothing, Lincoln Chafee ?

Answer -- because the GOP says it's conservative but when it comes to put your money where your mouth is, vote for moderates or liberals anyway.

I guess when you're up against the real thing, people reckon they might as well vote for the real thing rather than the pretend one.

[Phlap]

I don't hate Steve Forbes. But I don't see him leading the free world.

[denydenydeny]

What on earth are you talking about?

Steve Forbes couldn't have won a national election in our lifetime.

[kevao]

Now if I was circumspect

Be glad you're not. It really, really hurts. A lot.
