Ya gotta like that...and tax cuts too!
That's our biggest problem right now. Almost all of them all part of the wallpaper. The ones that aren't are rarely heard from.
Take Tancredo for instance. Yes, he is heard from quite a bit, if you are looking in the right places. But watch what happens to him when he tries to go through the MSM. They'll make him out to be a far-rightwing nutcase.
The Massachusetts Republican Assembly will be having George Allen and Tom Tancredo as speakers soon. Yeah, THAT'S the ticket!
At least this George sounds like he would know how to cut spending.
They already are. Did you hear the reaction to his appearance on that assinine Stephanopolis show? (Further proof of how unbiased the news media is, they put a former Clinton campaign chief on as host of a political chat show. Amazing.) Tancredo came off as very reasonable and sincere yet he was demonized as a hate-filled nut.
Geez, I wonder if I could make an argument that if I choose to steal that if you try to stop me you're lacking compassion and are just a "far right wing kook." That's what happens to Tancredo every time he argues that illegal immigration is illegal and should be treated as such.
There was a coule of bills where he took stands backing senator Coburn, so he had some credentials, there was that major bill Coburn put together that would cut pork, only 13 senators went along with it (it died).
He also proposed a line item veto.
That said, he does need more work, Dick Wadham will take care of that.
"George Bush never even sounded like Ronald Reagan, so we cannot blame him for not acting like a fiscal conservative (his dad never did either)."
When was Reagan a fiscal conservative? He had huge deficits too. Use, I know, Democrats controlled congress. But Reagan controlled the veto pen. And I fault both Reagan and Bush 43 for not using it.
Allen is an unelectable dunce. The guy got creamed by Barbara Bozo Boxer, Schumer, Rep. Harman and Sen. Jack Reed in various chat show appearances. Allen just looked like a deer in the headlights and had no response to any of their no-brainer lies which anyone with even a 50 IQ could have refuted.
Coburn put together that would cut pork, only 13 senators went along with it (it died).
I thought I heard Allen voted against that.
I'm not too worried at this early date, and he's got to be re-elected this year to the senate anyway. If he gets more definite on different issues in another year or so, I'll be even more gung-ho for him; if not, then not.
He voted for it.
What ticked me off, was that other senators called his voting for it a political stunt (they were defending earmarks) and Ted Stevens indirectly threatened him along with the Cantwell.
Is there anyone you DO like? I'm not being snide, I'm really interested to know.
I think weve been Georged enough. How bout Newt?
1.He has been demonized by the press.
2. He was a hypocrite on social issues, given his personal life.
3. He can, on occasion, be a whiner.
4. The American public is not ready for a President Newt.
I would not vote for Hagel or McCain.
"Good idea! In the past he has supported shamnesty. He is singing a new tune in this speech and I don't think we have much reason to trust him."
I agree with you. In a questionnaire by Human Event Allen did not rule out amnesty for illegals. I for one don't trust him - of course, it has reached a point where I could count on one hand the people in Washington I DO trust.
"George Allen is definitely my favorite.
I would not vote for Hagel or McCain."
I agree. Allen is the best viable candidate. Rudi is too socially liberal. Hagel is too liberal on foreign policy. McCain might as well be a Democrat.
There's also Mike Huckabee...although he doesn't show signs of planning a run in 2008.
I love George...but it makes me sad when he "seemingly" ran from the comparison to our present "President George"..
Right after pooh-poohing that notion, he went on to say he is in favor of all kinds of tax cuts, and other things that BUSH is responsible for...
BTW..regarding his stance on immigratation---I will have to wait and see what he actually says for the record in Senate debates...
I REALLY, REALLY want to back him...but, not quite yet, (although he is the only one we KNOW is running that I am even close to liking enough to vote for).
Would love to see that!
