Great. Then there should be a plethora of election tested, trueblu social conservative candidates in the running against Rudy and Mitt and Duncan hunter, etc.
But I just don't see anyone that I think fits your bill, and that has enough "white shoe" east coast sheisters behind him to fight the onslaught that's gonna come from the Hitlery wing, do you?
This is gonna be the dirtiest, saddest election in US history, IMO.
George Allen was a good, solid conservative. And he was too nice. So nice, and so clean, that he was ripped to shreds by a leftist college kid with a videocamera. How do you feel about Bush rescinding the order for the CIA to avoid paying off 'dirty' spies for info? I felt like the environment is such, in the ME and China that or intelligence guys have to swim with the sharks to keep us safe, you know? Maybe you disagree.
But I think the race for POTUS has also devolved greatly since AuH20 "tell it like it is" days. I think even back then, a straight-talking trueblu conservative was scaremongered by an LBJ-type dirty campaign, and the environment has simply just not gotten better for conservatives, social and/or fiscal.
You could pull Barry Goldwater hisself out of the grave and dress him up in a modern suit and he'd be thrown out of the race at the first mention of personal responsibility.
I think America has seriously decayed in the past two decades, and I think a country gets the government it deserves.
I think, unfortunately, that America right now probably deserves someone like Rudy---but I do not believe---for all the mess---that America deserves Hitlery. We just do not. Yet.
Sooo.....who is the candidate that satisfies you?
