Allen and Barbour are the only two on your list worth spit.
Strange, I have heard neither McCain or Graham come out for Constitutional Rule of Law, immigration control, individual freedom, abolishment of the welfare state, national sovereignty, a strong national defense, to get rid of the U.N. to allow individuals to manage their own affairs, or for abolishment of the drive toward world government.
Explain?
I believe Mark Warner is more liberal than he showed himself to be as governor of Virginia. I don't think he or anyone else can beat The Hildabeast for the nomination--she believes it's hers and she can raise $100 million for the primaries alone.
So was and am I.
I wasn't clear on what Warner's amendment was about. But knowing him(I'm still upset at what he did to Ollie North), it was probably a RINO move to make the Republican Senate look more acceptable to the anti-war crowd.
George Allen will have to do alot to recover from this IMO.
I'd vote for Barbour, but have no reason to believe he'd run.
After Allen's-
Support for the McCain amendment
Warner Amendment
Defense of Sheehan deserving an audience
I'd have to hold my nose to vote for him in the General.
I have two issues I place primary importance on. The WOT and the Judiciary. As well, separated from policy issues I place extreme importance on ones character. Allen has flunked the Spine test on the WOT. He hasn't been a leader in the fight over the Judiciary either, the way Chuck has featured his face for the Dems. Character seems okay from what I know.
Rudy has the WOT I'd probably trust him on, but I don't trust him concerning Judges. His character would be subject to attack based on his divorce.
George Allen voted for the Warner amendment. He is toast.
I'd certainly advise any and all Republican candidates to target that weakness. None of this "civility" nonsense. He has a short fuse, make McCain lose it on stage in the public arena.
I guarentee if McCain/Lindsey are on a ticket they can count my vote out. Hillary can win for all I care, I see no difference between them. Other than she's probably a little more open about who she is, as well, more emotionally stable.
