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.
I was just told that I forgot two Senators that voted NO on both amendments...so, please add Sen. Chambliss and Sen. Bunning on the list...
Also...I am getting to where I don't trust any of them...and I hate that...I am a little old to be finding this out. I have placed too much trust in the past, but no more.
I haven't found any reason to mistrust Sessions...but, he is human...so I am sure he does have some faults...LOL
My first instinct towards Guiliani is "NO WAY"..because of his social liberalness...BUT, I tell myself that he is great on the WOT...
and from most of the polls (that I don't put much stock in, but what are ya gonna do..LOL)...it shows that Guiliani is about the highest rated going head to head with Hillary.
Of course we want the BEST conservative candidate, but we also need someone who can WIN...so, we have a lot to consider in the next couple of years.
