To me, Romney's executive skills mean squat. I want an insider now, someone who has been in Washington in the trenches instead of remaining on the sidelines and they blabbling how they're going to "change" the culture. Yeah, Bush promised the same thing too and it gotten him nowhere, with his uniter not a divider crap.

Fred, Paul, or Hunter are the only guys who knows how to handle the jackals in Congressa and have foreign policy experience.

“To me, Romney’s executive skills mean squat.”

To each his own. To me, someone who has managed something more substantial than the White House travel office or a Senate staff, someone who have a proven track record of implementing good ideas and can actually make good decisions ... would make an excellent candidate up against Hillary.

Why not have a CEO President?

” I want an insider now, someone who has been in Washington in the trenches “
Cheney ‘08! I’m in!

“Fred, Paul, or Hunter are the only guys who knows how to handle the jackals in Congressa and have foreign policy experience.”

Thompson’s track record in his investigative committee wrt to Clintonian jackals was not good; he got rolled by the Dems. So much for ‘bipartisanship’.
Ron Paul doesnt want a foreign policy that would amount to anything resembling what we need. That leaves Hunter, the one true-blue right-wing conservative standing.

But if you want someone to fight Democrats and *win*, the articulate Romney is , and it doesnt hurt that Romney’s vetoed more Democratic bills than any other candidate.

As for Mitt’s foreign policy ...

Following the end of the Cold War, President Clinton began to dismantle our military. He reduced our forces by 500,000. He retired almost 80 ships. Our spending on national defense dropped from over 6% of GDP to 3.8% today. He called it a “peace dividend.”

We got the dividend, but we didn’t get the peace.

Charles Krauthammer called our blissful disarmament a “holiday from history.” For history has plainly taught that evil is on earth and that there are evil people who will threaten the good, the peaceful and the free.

There is no question in my mind that if the opposition party had full reign in Washington, we would not only withdraw without regard to consequence from Iraq, we would also continue to reduce military spending to finance social programs. Some would celebrate, chanting that they are going to “give peace a chance.” But peace has had many chances and it will have many more.

History teaches us this: the best ally of peace is a strong America. ... The right course for America in a world where evil still exists is not acquiescence and weakness, it is assertiveness and strength.
