It's so annoying. We have posters here linking to crap from ultra-left sites, doing the work of the leftwingnuts. Ugh.

The fact that they have to trash Rudy or Romney shows the lack of confidence they have in their candidates.

Have done. I support their platform almost right down the line. Too bad they haven't a prayer of winning.
Might vote for their candidate nonetheless, given the sorry lot of chameleons, frauds and other assorted bastards who are the LBM-so-called ''front-runners''.

More conservative than JFK? It's hard to compare eras, but if one places Islamism in place of Communism, yes, Romney is on the right (and Right) side of that conflict. Kennedy wasn't bad on Communism, but he was to the left of Nixon on that issue.

Rumsfeld effusive
In late September, Hunter was the guest of honor at a black-tie dinner in a hall at Washington's Union Station, where the hawkish defense group the Center for Security Policy presented him with its annual "Keeper of the Flame" award.
Among those lauding him at the Center for Security Policy banquet that evening was Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, who said the Pentagon relies on Hunter's "wisdom, his leadership, his experience and his 'get it done' attitude.'
"It is something when he comes into your office like a whirling dervish and starts discussing a subject first at the national level and then down at the microlevel, and then leaves you pieces of metal on your desk that you can hardly lift and has explained exactly where it goes, what it's for, why it should be there and then wants to know why it isn't. And God bless him for it."
Rumsfeld also said the U.S. is more secure because of Hunter.
"He's never let the troops down, and as a result of his leadership and his hard work, our nation is a safer place today," Rumsfeld told the dinner gathering that included Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

If you got in now - you stand a chance of having more influence within the party.

You know. I'm tired of that. Sick and tired of war medals acting as a criticism shield and an automatic badge of ability.
I have as my evidence: Kerry, Cunningham, McCain, Murtha, Webb.

Here's another correction: The Bush family was from Connecticut, not Massachusetts.

If Romney can send McCain packing in New Hampshire, he will have done a great service to the country. I respect McCain's military service and could see him as a good or even a great Secretary of Defense, but he's just too unstable and too enamored with media approval to be a good president despite his current front runner status.
I, too, prefer Duncan Hunter of all the candidates declared thus far, but just don't see him getting any traction.
Romney certainly has his imperfections. But lack of brains certainly isn't one of them. Neither is infatuation with media approval. My youngest daughter, who turns 18 in April, thinks Dad is too conservative and Mitt is exactly right. I'm willing to give him a look.

How dare he touch the soil of the hated state of Massachusetts!
The Bush Family soon afterward moved from Milton to Greenwich, Connecticut.

Rudy and Romney both take votes away from McCain. That's a very good thing!

This is good stuff, elementary and obvious, I would say, but well-expressed; but it is un-nerving to realize that as obvious as it all is, perhaps no other US politician including the president has had the clarity of understanding and/or integrity to give this speech in the last five years. Or maybe, ever.

To most of us in San Diego, Military is honnored.
He was the recent Chairman of the Armed Services Comm.
I want someone with military, national and international background in helping form policy not a business guy.
We are at war and living in San Diego where more military are based than any other city, we are more aware of this than most in small town flyover country.
