Personally, I think a reasonable sales tax is more fair because everybody has to pay, not just the working folks, but his was excessive IMO and it seemed to have been done out of spite. Sales tax would not be more fair for the low income working class but income tax punishes people for working and encourages people not to work. Just my two cents but I'm no tax expert. :-)
Oh, this is Michael Steele...didn't he deliver an excellent speech at the Republican Convention? I was VERY impressed with him.
Okay, so the list is down to:
Bill Owens - CO governor
>plus: solid conservative, charismatic, christian-friendly
>minus: not a southerner vis-a-vis the former Confederate
states; marital issues could hurt him badly
George Allen - former VA governor
>plus: solid conservative, charismatic, christian-friendly,
southerner
>minus: lengthy voting record in Congress could be used
against him
I'm more worried about Richardson, or another Hispanic Dem, in '08 than I am about Hillary.
How about Michael Steele for VP? He was fantastic at the Repub. Natl. Convention. And after he gets the visibility from being a VP, he could run for President in the future.
No objection to Steele, but neither will he bring anything to the table in terms of electoral votes.
YES
I'd like a Tommy Franks, George Allen ticket.
Because she'd almost guarantee a 100 percent Republican turnout, and she's such a dullard that the same couldn't be guaranteed on the Rat side.
Also there is little chance that Hitlery would subject herself to 1+ years of campaign scrutiny.
Mostly it's just my gut that says she's unelectable.
And let's not forget that Hillary and Bill still have many FBI files. There will be deals made, blackmail applied, media attacks against her opponents etc etc. It will be bloody out there. I do not believe for a minute that she will run 'normal' campaign. I am seriously worried.
Good thought. Add it to the list.
his term is up in 2006 i believe, don't think he can go a third term.
McCain compromises with rats too much. He could get a lot of rat votes, though but I think he would lean too far left. He helped GWB with his campaign but he would give with the right hand and take away with the left hand. He had to be told at one point durring the campaign to stop getting on TV and praising Kerry. I think he and Kerry both knew something about the POW situation in Nam when they went over there together looking for POW's and Kerry came back here and said there weren't any left when that was a lie.
I still have all my tapes from the convention. I'm going to find Michael Steele's speech and watch it again. I do remember that he made some strong points and I was amazed that they came from a black man. I thought: Wished we had more blacks that 'get it'.
And Rudy is tough on crime.
Thanks for articulating what I've been trying to say.
She's a tedious bore, unexceptional in her record, unexceptional but competent in her presentation, and really has only Bubbaism to draw from.
Once people see her on the campaign trail they'll be brought back to reality. The only time I've seen Hitlery actually seem inspiring is when she has free reign to spout extreme leftist and feminist sentiments. Because that's the real Hitlery.
And there's just no way she'll want to mingle with the Great Unwashed for a 1+ year campign.
My fraternity brother and Governer of South Carolina, Mark Sanford, would be terrific!
Yesssss! That would be unstoppable.
Condi Rice also.
