Yes I’m tired of politics. But I’m also tired of mowing the lawn and doing the laundry. All need to be done.

The sooner we identify good candidates, the better.

Not Rubio. Not Jindal. I want someone with ironclad, unquestionable eligibility. I don’t want a token minority to pander to minorities. That is a losing strategy. I want the absolute best candidate, solidly conservative, regardless of race/gender/socioeconomic status. I’d include religion in that list, except that for me, the loyalty and honesty of any muslim is suspect.

Mark F. Levin, aka the great one, believes Rubio is eligible. I want someone is not only a conservative, but also has the necessary skill to actually be President. If it were only about ideology, I would be the best person because I agree with myself 100% of the time.

The sooner we identify good candidates, the better.

We also need to identify the bad ones and look beyond the presidential election and cut the bad stock out of the herd before they run for house and senate seats as well.

At this point, I’d vote for either Ryan or Bachmann. I’m open to hearing what other potential candidates have to say.

Memo to GOP: Stop pandering to blacks, Hispanics, and women. It doesn’t work. Blacks, Hispanics, and women who come out in droves for “one of their own” will only do that if “one of their own” is a Democrat.

Mia Love. Allan West. Sarah Palin. Many more examples that I can’t think of off the top of my head. These were all great candidates who lost. I’m not saying don’t run them. I’m saying don’t run them if we’re trying to pander. (Personally, I think Sarah Palin would be infinitely better than 0bama.) Also, don’t put them in the #2 spot on the ticket which makes it look even more like pandering.

Stop alienating the base by running candidates who are “electable.” Tried that. Failed.

Stop alienating the base AND the rest of the country by running candidates who are “entitled” to run because it’s “their turn.” Dole. McCain. Bush 1. Bush 2.

[Jim from C-Town]

Both Jindal and Rubio are eligible if for no other reason that O’Bumbler is the President.

Please, drop the BS about eligibility. It didn't work on a guy with a questionable birth place and limited provenance. It certainly won't work on two guys who have naturalized Americans as parents.

I don’t want a token minority to pander to minorities.
