You missed the brouhaha that erupted when pro-abort Mehlman was appointed to the RNC, and when he hand-picked pro-abortion activist Joanne Davidson as his right-hander?
It was on our local this morning - Austin.
Amen! The Republicans are always such good losers that it sickens me. No Clinton prosecution, or even exposure, in the name of "a new tone in Washington", no exposure of the Democrats legislative tactics to prevent Republican programs and nominations from passing, no selling of conservative ideas, just sullen silence over the Dems dirty work, and most of all, no suspicion of election fraud with the new electronic voting machines. No purge of illegals, the dead and felons from Democrat voting registers, etc.
The first hint was when the Democrats began warning that the Republicans were going to cheat. That is always a sure exposure of their plans, to project them on others.
Being a gun-grabber is simply not practical politics....There is no way Rudy will shake that baggage. We're too big of a political force
good analysis! I was thinking though that if it were not one of the front runners it would be Thompson who was not even mentioned.
"As it is, he has a lot to overcome, and I'm not so sure as you that he can do it."
Most of it is contrived heavy breathing by the lefties who fear him, as they should. But I'm not as sure as you seem to have inferred I am re 'overcoming' what is out there. IMO it was the Republicans who failed re the contract, not Newt. Almost all of the rest is just smoke, not fire. For LOTS of Republicans running in the "contract" era, Newts contract was merely good talking points for their own campaign. Shameful IMO.
Much of what you say about Allen is true, but let's remember that the "MSM" was all over him like a cheap suit. Not too many people could withstand that level of scrutiny. George Allen made a mistake (granted, it was a pretty good-sized mistake) and it was caught on video. The "MSM" took it and ran with it because the Hildebeast was more afraid of Allen than any other Republican for 08.
I've said it before, I'll say it again--the best thing you can do with the Washington ComPost is line the bottom of your birdcage with it. Of course, if you have a talking bird, he'll begin shouting "Bush lied" in short order.
I thought he said that Condi could beat her.
In any case, if our so-called "minor leaguers" are better than our majors, then that will come out in the the campaigns.
I'll not vote for McCain in any case.
I'll vote for Rudi if he changes his anti-life viewpoint to Rilom prolife (rape, incest, life of mother) and firmly speaks against 3rd trimester abortion.
And pledges strict constructionist judges.
It doesn't matter. The NRA and the other big gun organizations will not endorse Rudy. I and millions of gun owners will not vote for him. You're being warned more than a year and a half in advance, so don't act surprised and betrayed by the 2nd Amendment crowd if Rudy is nominated and loses.

What's your problem with kinky sex!?!! At least he was sucking a CHICK's toes! LOL.
Let me make a prediction: if neither McCain or Giuliani is the Republican prez candidate in 2008, we will lose. Nobody knows any of the other Pubbie candidates. Both McCain and Giluliani are popular with many noncommitted/independent voters. That doesn't mean I prefer McCain or Giuliani. It just means that they are the only two Pubbies who can win in 2008. Conservatives might not like that...I don't like that, but that's the facts Jack. Pubbies who swear that they will not vote for either might as well cast their votes for the Dem candidate.
No, they will go third party or simply not endorse anyone. Have you looked at their history of endorsements? One needs to earn them. They're not given out for every race.
Simple. He didn't know. His mother lied to him for many years and it was only first suggested by a gotcha writer. Allen didn't confirm until he got it from his Mom.
And, of course, Webb ran an anti-Semitic campaign starting in the primaries.
I agree. McCain and Giuliani are the only guys with any centrist appeal, like them or not. Of the two, Giuliani is the stealth consevative. McCain apparently has a Bad Idea Machine in his office that generates malicious legislation under the guise of good government.
As for abortion, if the right judges are appointed, the issue will be returned to the states, where it belongs.
Hi, juliej! Let's restate that a different way:
If the GOP nominates a RINO, they will give us Hillary, because the party leadership refused to heed the warnings.
At regular White House staff meetings. Go look it up.
