I love the Prez. even though I have serious issues with him. Who’s babbling ??? At least I’m consistent about GW’s policies !!!
If you know who you are and what you believe, you don’t have to worry about it. that’s Why Hunter can come onto FR and not worry one bit about what someone might say about him, and the next day he can give a speech at a Latino group.
Hey pissant, I just got home. How was the debate and is there any links for me to catch a replay? From the little I have read, it looks like our guy did all right!
I watched the last few minutes of the debate. The only one that stood out for me was Tancredo which was a surprise. I liked his response concerning vouchers and charter schools and that a black child doesn’t need to sit by a white child to learn or vice versa. Huckabee and Brownback are just too soft neither would survive in a battle with Hillary. I’m surprised that after so many debates these guys are performing better. I wouldn’t vote for either of them. I don’t like leaders that talk to the people as if they are children or look as if they are over emotionalizing like they did on the culture of life crap that they kept spewing. Abortion has nothing to do with the death penalty and Keyes was the only one that really expressed that fact.
Alan Keyes sadly didn’t perform well, it is a pity cause I usually agree with him but he just doesn’t know how to speak to the people. He comes off as if he is speaking for his own satisfaction. None of the guys I saw tonight would be able to survive a run off against Hillary. I would like to see more of Tancredo. He has potential because he really understands the principles of conservatism and isn’t playing a tune for the satisfaction of liberals. He’d make a good Vice President.
The rest just don’t have it. Is America going to elect Gomer Pyle (Huckabee?), The nondescript white guy (Brownback?), The Black guy speaking from so high in the clouds he can’t even see the people he is speaking to(Keyes), or Paul (the confused contrarian libertarian). I don’t think so. I don’t remember Hunter speaking but he and Brownback, though good conservatives, just don’t have it and for them to have it they have to break out of their shells. They are rigid. Huckabee has them whipped because he is at least personable. I can’t help it but when I think of Paul a picture of a big rubber mouse pops into my head(squeak squeak sqeakie squeak squeak!) Are these our candidates?
“Q: Why weren’t the ‘top tier’ candidates there tonight?
A: They were!”
Yup!
You can like whoever you want.
Don’t know if there is video. I’ll bet Raster or Walter will get it though at some point
Thanks, will be waiting patiently. In the meantime, I better go back and catch up.
No presidential candidate worth anything should be anti-war. Instead, a good presidential candidate should be willing, if necessary, to use American Military to secure the security of the United States.
That having been said, a good presidential candidate should never be a war-monger.
Thanks! Appreciation makes it worthwhile--and even better if it can be used for sumthin! LOL.
Take your opinion of what I think, divide by about 14 billion and you will approximate the level I care to know yours.
..it’s coming—wasn’t a real good editing job, but DH shined through—give me an hour...
Whoever wins this election, Republican or Democrat, will do so by running against the incumbent.
See: Sarkozy.
The other common sense reason is justice.
Without justice, your society falls apart.
I agree.
Not to endorse anything-McCainish, but I’m in favor of a whole lot more straight talk and a whole lot less strategery.
George Washington addressed that point in 1796, when in his
Farewell Address he warned against the “baneful effects of the spirit of party.”
I don’t personally dislike him, but strategically, the nominee will have to distance himself from Bush.
Honestly pissant, I really don’t want to tell you you’re a phony,but you’ve been pushing Duncan Hunter for like forever now,and you go and post a bullshit thing like you think GW is a good Prez. Well your guy doesn’t,he think’s Bush’s immigration policy is WRONG so how do you put these two opposites together? You must think like a Democrat right ???
