Why not Michael Steele or Rick Santorum?

No, they voted for Martinez because GWB told them to do so.

I do believe that the Senate and c-span is better than NOTHING..and with the liberal MSM, his chance of getting on network TV is very, very...slim.

He was announced as the candidate months ago...and not ONE Sunday TV talk show has had him as a guest..

I haven't even seen him interviewed on Fox News..

OKAY BUDDIE...

You keep talking about onyx without pinging her and that is NOT right...and I do believe she has already told you that on this thread.

ALSO..she is one of the smartest posters on this site...so watch out who you call a TWIT.

Also..there is supposed to be no name-calling.

I got so angry, I forgot to ping you to post #286...after yelling at the poster for not pinging you.

I am very sorry.

Unlike every other person that I know who, like I, has actually met or worked with him, you believe that what is presented to you is true.

The man is no conservative. In fact, he reminds me of a certain former DA from Philly that I also once met.

You may have heard of old Arlen Spector yourself. - Once touted as a real republican.

But you certainly are in large company.

>a real conservative who can articulate the position of a conservative in such a way so as to concretely show a benefit to the "traditional" democrat voter.

I hear you dude, but that guy just lost to nobody in Pa. Rick Santorum.

I've written off the blue states.

It wasn't really "anyone but Bush," it was anyone but the GOP, and thats what it has become there, and the traditional democrat knows less than my cat.

I don't like Martinez. He's a lightweight and a typical politician. But I'm not in love with the GOP as a whole right now so Mel is at least Truth in Advertising. After all...electing someone like Steele to the Chair would signal the GOP had got its act together and prided itself in sponsering intelligent people with passion that were emininently qualified to repair the damage the administration and Republicans have done the last couple of years among the public as a whole let alone their own base.

Mel's the perfect choice for the GOP.

Of course I won't be donating or working on their behalf..I'll stick to hand picked candidates where I'm certain who is getting my money and what it is being used to support.

There comes a point where being an optimist is foolish.

The head of the RNC is a figurehead, and nothing more. He doesn't set policy, enact it, or put it into motion all by his lonesome. Believing he weilds more power than the Congress, Howard Dean or the president is being foolish.

Liar. I will ping a couple of posters who KNOW me.

I am one of the most vociferous anti-illegal posters on this board.

You're wrong, sir. The platform is defined by the platform committee and that committee is always dominated by the staff of the presidential nominee -- in this case in 2008.

This is a non event. His job is to win a majority. It's not, and should not be, immigration.

My opinion...neither party, republican or democrat deserve to be a major player in politics.

Third parties are irrelevant in the larger scheme of things. Until they can get beyond being a bunch of goobers hoarding conspiracy theories, they'll largely float on the fringe.

I beginning to think you're a troll.

A troll or a retread or a combination of the two.
