Me too....now.
I was in Allen's corner but there have been a few votes that he has caste that have really bothered me.
Today was a chance to stand with the POTUS AND CIC, and our troops...and anyone that voted for even the Warner amendment let them down, IMHO>
I just don't get support for Allen among conservatives. Sometimes he talks a good game, but given Clinton I distrust "talk" and look to action. I've kept an open mind about Allen and so far I see--
- Poll generated response on stem cells
- Appease by suggesting Talk to Cindy Sheehan
- Vote for McCain 'Protect a Terrorist Today' measure
- he might have voted for one of the cut the pork bills, but he didn't vote for both right?
- this PR disaster amendment keeping the administration's current operation intact but seuggesting deference to Polls in giving perception G.W.B. was slapped.
On measures he is good about I've seen no indication he's leading the fight. I'm far from Brownback's biggest fan, but no one can say he isn't out there on the Judiciary in front. Allen's in the midpack of support.
No Guts, No Glory. What I see from Allen so far is someone that watches polls and won't take a stand until public is vetted. That isn't a quality I want in my President. I want someone that will stand against the MSM and Dems AND McCain to do the right thing, and polls if he/she has to.
Sessions does that. I don't believe Sessions has any intention to run, but he's the mold of character I'm looking for in a candidate. That's why I had a tagline with Barbour for awhile as well as Honore. I'm looking for certain qualities thus far none have shown except maybe Guiliani and Romney to an extent, though they have their baggage with conservatives obviously.
