Thanks
No, they would just say Karl Rove is the real President. Oh, wait, they already said that.
But I fully believe that the election of a woman to the highest office in the US will be seen by our enemies as nothing more than a big "Kick Me" sign. One which they will most happily oblige.
The same thing was said about GWB in 2000. Our enemies are going to hate us no matter what we do- or who we elect. I'd rather have a strong, confident and intelligent woman leading our country than a limp-wristed, indecisive, pansy-ass liberal guy anyday.
Doesn't O'Reilly have a column there? I know he is a strong advocate for a Condi/Hillary 08 match up, and thinks Condi would win in a blow out.
Not since Eisenhower. There are quite a few former military officers who came in that way (Scott, Grant). Also Jefferson, who was not military.
Without Ronald Reagan as the leader of the free world Mrs. Thatcher would have had a pretty tough go of it. For all her merits, she ain't no Winston Churchill.
"On his website, To the Point, Wheeler reports there's a "red-breasted rumor bird" flying around Capitol Hill that has whispered the same thing to most congressional committee chairmen" (Robin who?)
This source seems to be the only name tied to it..
Panic and rumor..piffle.
LOL...don't forget scappleface.....that paragon of the best satire on the net.
Awesome, a 'Heaven Can Wait' moment!
Cheney is the man, and he's there to stay.
Do the names Margaret Thatcher or Golda Meir ring a bell?
I believe that they will see the entire country as weak. They already know that the rat faction is.
The same thing was said about GWB in 2000.
You're memory is failing. The rats saw him as a hawk and a cowboy.
Our enemies are going to hate us no matter what we do- or who we elect
Their hate is expected. Their perception of the US as weak is intolerable.
I'd rather have a strong, confident and intelligent woman leading our country than a limp-wristed, indecisive, pansy-ass liberal guy anyday.
A strong Conservative alpha male is a much better option than either of your two choices.
As much as I like Condi, I don't want Cheney to step down. I'd be open to her being the GOP candidate in '08 but I'm pushing for Duncan Hunter.
William Henry Harrison had been elected to the U.S. House of Representatives and to the Ohio Senate, and also (by the Ohio legislature) to the U.S. Senate.
William Howard Taft never held elective office before being elected President.
Very plausible theory.
Calvin Coolidge became President when Harding died in office...he never ran for President except as the incumbent in 1924.
Without US backing their enemies would have eaten them alive.
Sorry about my fast googling. Thank you for the correction!
Given the choice may be Clinton or Rice what say you?
Hoover's only elective offices before the Presidency were class treasurer and student body treasurer when he was an undergraduate at Stanford University. His relief efforts in Europe began early during WWI, not after the war ended.
