Paramount to me is the defeat of Hillary, Obama and every other democrat possible.
Given that the first of the candidate debates have yet to commence, I do not have a favorite “announced” GOP candidate.
I have my fingers crossed and my humble prayers offered that Fred Thompson will enter the race. I think he could win both the nomination and the general election.
That said, “IF” Mayor Gulliani wins the GOP nomination and is the only one left standing between Hillary/Obama and the White House, Mr. Mayor will get my vote because, IMO, he would make a far superior Commander in Chief than any democrat, particularly Hillary or Barrack HUSSEIN Obama.
It is unfathomable for me to even ponder the likes of the Clinton’s in the White House again.
Amen. Last year I thought a Hillary presidency was unfathomable...today, it is very likely. We should all be very, very afraid.
In fact, the founder himself said this:
The fact is we need a more conservative government. How do you make it more conservative? The obvious answer is you make it less liberal. How do you make it less liberal? Vote out the Democrats. After you get the worst of the socialist lot of the Democrats replaced, then you can make it more conservative yet, by eliminating the worst of the lott of the Republicans. May sound dumb, but it's the only way. In other words, you're gonna have to make government a whole lot more Republican before you can make it conservative. - Jim Robinson, March 13, 2002
We're all conservatives here. Keep in mind that not all conservatives are the same. There isn't a blue print for the American conservative. Nor is there a one-sized fit all template. Heck, there are those who are atheist and agnostic who post here. Conservatives aren't religious fanatics, nor are they theocratic, conservatism does however share and oftentimes agrees with the social and moral values found within religious texts.
I don't believe President Bush is 100% conservative. I'm not bothered by that, because I don't fall into the "purist" camp. My trouble with President Bush is that he's soft on illegal immigration.
At this point. I have no clue who I am supporting. The political season is too long as it is anyway. Seems everytime I turn around, I've got to cast a vote. (I have a school election to vote in on May 8th).
Lastly, let the candidates speak for themselves. That's what debates are for. I trust everyone here has a brain, a sound judgement, and is more than capable of using both.
