I agree with myself 100% of the time.

Given 15 minutes, I can disagree with myself!

Let’s be sure to cooperate with “divide and conquer”, AGAIN.

Conservatives better get behind a SOLIDARITY pick, during the primary EARLY enough to dislodge the Establishment MONEY advantage.

We bury the hatchet, before primaries are made extinct.

The Establishment is already picking the next Republican candidate.

No conservative solidarity guarantees the Alinsky treatment. In that case, “yes”, I go Libertarian without apologies. No more pie. This is war.

There needs to be a pick worth getting behind. Easier said than done.

“Those guys are old, no offense”

Maturity and experience is a necessity.

Don’t ever write off older folks. They may not be able to serve on a battlefield front, but they certainly are leaders with all their knowledge and experiences.

Are these people nuts? After observing what McCain and Romney went through, knowing the press will do everything possible to promote the RAT, knowing the level of fraud involved and the lack of loyalty from fellow Republicans who would just as soon throw away their vote as make sure a Republican is elected, why would anyone deliberately jump into this pit of vipers?

And the attacks will go no farther than those against O’Bumbler.

It is now law that anyone born in the borders of the U.S., regardless of their parents citizenship, ARE eligible to serve as POTUS. This is settled fact now that O’Bumbler serves, legally uncontested, as POTUS.

It is BS, because it is now moot. The law is settled simply due to the fact that the courts refuse to rule or even entertain a case against O’Bumbler’s eligibility.

While there have always been potential candidates, who planned future campaigns, years in advance--as well as citizen groups who began working for potential candidates, shortly after elections where the result was offensive;--this focus is a mistake. It is far too early to begin to again divide up. What is needed now, is a period of coming together, and better honing our arguments for the America we would restore.

Without a major educational effort, the future cannot be constructive. If this election showed anything, there are far too many who vote like sheep, being led by Judas Goats to the slaughter. Before we start lining up behind specific personalities, we need to do everything possible to counter what an intellectually corrupt educational system & an indoctrinated mass media, have done so far as framing attitudes, beliefs & perceptions.

This will not be easy; but no other focus makes a lot of sense. (See Losing America's Multi-Generational Purpose.)

Huh? Where is your evidence? I have seen zero enthusiasm for Bush and I’d be against it here in Iowa. Going Bush would be stupid.

That is what I said. We have some months to get in the same fox hole, otherwise we are overrun early by both Establishment and the Libertarians.

A vacuum will be filled soon. I’m just saying that either we beat the clock and fill it, or I am going where intellegent organizing is happening, where fighting back is not a discussion, but a given that causes solidarity.

Whoever runs need to go to the Breitbart School of Media Savvy (with pop-culture certificates).

Wake up.

Democrats are going to be the biggest birthers around in 2016. Suddenly NBC will matter.

McCain got scrutiny not Obama.

“I’m not very certain that we’ll have a presidential election in 2016.”

I have been saying the same thing.

>> Jeb Bush will be the GOP nominee, likely with Rubio as VP. <<

The constitution specifies that Presidential tickets can't have running mates from the same state. Try again.

We will not win the presidency again unless we run a minority.
