Thanks SJB. Mega-dittos your statement.
Personally, I think a Rudy/Newt ticket would make a lot of sense for a lot of reasons: Newt is a historian. He is a conservative. Newt was the reason why we regained majority of the House and the Senate. Newt was the author of Contract with America. Not only is he a historian, but is well reasoned, logical, and well spoken.
Rudyn is tough as nails. He told that Arab bastard to take his $10m and shove it after 9-11.
Rudy won't put up with any PC crap in dealing with the bastards that blew up his city.
Now... the reason why a Rudy/Newt ticket makes sense to me is:
Newt will schmooze Rudy in a more conservative posture politically, and philosophically. Newt can do undercover work inside the beltway to work on cutting spending in all the pork crap that's evolved since the Roosevelt era.
Newt will have no disagreement in strong measures against Islam due to his hsitorical perspective on those stone age Islamic animals.
Obviously, there is no single entity who is the "ideal" President.
But from the first priority, national security, this ticket makes the most sense to me.
All other issues take a back seat until the primary objective is well underway. The sub-set to the overseas WOT is border sealing against illegal aliens aka "undocumented immigrants." If Achmed swims across the Rio Grnade, then we're kidding ourselves. As it was, 19 of the towel heads that flew planes into our building were here legally initially. The Feds were to lazy and lackadazical to f/u with the visa thingy.
Just my $.02.
Double-reinforced American made Nomex, Goretex and Hazmat suits on.
Hmmmmm.....
A "nutcracking", New York saavy, administrator/wizard, who who will take no prisoners with the WOT.
A "nutcracking" politically saavy conservative historian who knows where all the bones are buried on Capitol Hill
A ticket bound to keep the liberal left up all night in terror!!
I'll take them both.
Wrap em both up.......here's my Visa card!
