[Republican Challenger]

I am new to the Free Republic forum, and astonished at the number of comments in only a few minutes. I now entertain high hopes of meaningful dialogue.
Given the utter dismissal of my candidacy, despite my 34 years of journalistic and media credentials -- including serving as CEO of a $3 million a year advertising agency in Los Angeles -- I can only say that 1) my candidacy is serious, 2) I am armed with the facts, which are hard to dispute, in my experience, and 3) I have no agenda other than serving the interests of all the people, not just the few.
We shall soon see whether my message is perceived as having any merit.
I look forward to responding to many more comments and questions.
Thank you.

despite my 34 years of journalistic and media credentials

I agree that makes you an expert on everything. I have been continually impressed over the years by the penetrating analysis of the above referenced guild on complex topics. Your guild has taught me everything that I know that is remotely worthwhile.

Hence the real reason you are posting here rather than somewhere with more of your ideological slant, such as the graveyard known as DemocraticUnderground.com.

You also possess the ability to travel through time into the future.....Your sign up date is 11-30-2003. Um, it's still 11-29-03, even on the east coast.

Are you that wiley Wesley Clark?

Many here are very protective of their President and absolutely love the man. And they'll lash out at any dissenters, even if there is valid criticism. Most of your essay doesn't meet the standards in my opinion. You're just wasting your time I'm afraid. But hey, it's your time and money.

[Elliott Jackalope]

Nobody who has ever run for the POTUS has won without the following credentials:

Served as Governor of a state

-OR-

Served as a US Senator

-OR-

Served as a General in the U.S. Military.

Since you have none of these credentials in your resume, I humbly suggest that you have the proverbial snowball's chance in Hades. Perhaps you should consider running for Governor of some state, or perhaps for the US Senate first?

[Wait4Truth]

The simple truth is that you do not speak the truth about Bush. You are telling lies that you hope some will fall for. The second truth is that you will never win any primary anywhere against George W. Bush. End of story.

Listen to me now, and hear me later.

You, or anyone else for that matter, would be wasting your time,
your money, and your energy if you made any attempt whatsoever to
challenge George W. Bush in the Republican Primary of 2004.
No matter what your credentials are.
No matter what your platform is.
No matter what your motivations are.

The nomination goes to W.
The machinery is already in place and functioning.
The train has left the station.
Get on board or get run over.
