[Choose Ye This Day]

We need someone who has lived Friedman as a businessman.

Amen to that. Do any of the other candidates even HAVE real-world, business experience? I don't want to put the economy in the hands of someone who has been in Washington, the belly of the beast, for two decades. Someone who has had to balance a budget, who has had to make their P&L...that's who we need holding a veto pen.

[George W. Bush]

Has Giuliani ever worked for anyone? The only business he's had is the speaking fees for $50 a plate, like motivational seminars. And he has that security company that mostly trades on his name as America's mayor. But these are the direct result of Rudy happening to be mayor of a city that was attacked. Without the terrorists, there would be no Rudy in the race. It's like with Clinton's Wife. Without Xlinton, there would be no Hillary now.

Throughout history, people who arrive at their positions by sheer accident of history or marriage don't have a very good record. It's a very poor basis to pick someone from.

So Giuliani is an accidental businessman, probably worth under $5 million. Less than even Bush's 15 million when he got into office.

BTW, Romney has been very warmly received by Club For Growth. He could do very well across the board with the business community and Wall Street.

I also notice that Newt was only a professor and then a politician. McStain had some business record, very minor. I think he had a Florida beer distributorship, not sure if he got that by marriage.

I'd like to know a lot more about the business pedigree of all these candidates. What, are we afraid to run pro-business capitalists in the GOP? I'm not.
