Hi Jim. Thanks for this thread.
I've been saying all along that the 2008 race represents the best opportunity since 1980 for conservatism. This is because Hillary! has the 'Rat nomination sewn up and yet she is profoundly beatable.
The MSM is in full spin mode: Hillary is moderate, Obama is dreamy, the GOP race is a choice between various RINOs, etc. This is all lies.
Running for President (and being President) is very difficult, and it is easy for the MSM to dismiss Rep. Hunter, Sen Brownback, or whoever, saying that they don't have the "stature" to win. Yet in the MSM's mind this stature is something entirely in their hands to bestow however they wish! Why does Obama suddenly have more stature than Sen. Brownback or Rep. Hunter? He doesn't!
The MSM is attempting to stampede us into settling for one of the three MSM-appointed RINOs (McCain, Rudy, Mitt). And sure, there are important differences among them and at least one or two might not be disastrous. But the idea that these are the only three people who stand a chance against Hillary! is 'Rat propaganda designed to get us to abandon at the get-go any attempt to nominate a true conservative. I say we should not let the leftists psyche us out, but rather we should support a good, solid rock-ribbed conservative now, and if he gets beat when the votes start coming in in the first primaries a year from now , well we can compromise then as necessary.
Our biggest mistake would be to take our true conservatives off the table now and spend the next year choosing from among RINOs. This amounts to negotiating with ourselves and giving the left unforced concessions. Let's not do it!
We don't need to know who our nominee is for another 14-17 months. Let's not get suckered into a quick, poor choice. Instead, let's let Rep. Hunter, Sen. Brownback, Newt Gingrich, and whoever else go around the country presenting themselves and their ideas while we calmly choose from among our candidates on the basis of our true core values.
