Peter Pace For President (Enough With Politicians; Let's Draft A General Alert)

Wouldn't it be nice to have as a choice for President in 2008 a seasoned military man who says what he believes?

Don't you just have to love the candor and honesty of Gen. Peter Pace, the retiring chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?

I can tell you he shook up Washington last week when he repeated his view that homosexual acts are immoral, are "counter to God's law" and should not be condoned in the U.S. military.

Is it too late to draft a general for President? We did it with Ike. Why not Peter Pace? As they say, he's got the "Right Stuff." A lot better than the GOP politicians and he'd give Hillary a run for the money. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

In the current environment, a military person would be extremely polarizing in the primaries.

A military person would need to have successfully won a major war. For example, General Norman Schwartzcof might have been a successful presidential contender in the elections following Gulf War I (1992 or 1996) because of his quick and decisive victory in ending the Iraqi invasion/occupation of Kuwait.

The Lefties and moonbats would hate a general. I'd like to see them foam at the mouth with rabid and outrageous attacks on our military. By all means, bring on "polarizing!"

A better choice would be the conqueror of Baghdad, Tommy Franks. He is a genuine historical general.

Last I heard he was seriously being considered for Senator from Virginia to replace John Warner the rhinoceros.

“I don’t know where he stands on the other major issues of the day...”

Gee, ya might think that’s important before you start a “Draft” movement?

Sheesh.

[Non-Sequitur]

I don't know where he stands on the other major issues of the day...

But what the hell, run him anyway. Anyone who's against homosexuals has what it takes to run the country. </sarcasm>

That's another 'draft the general' movement. To the best of my knowledge, General Pace hasn't shown any interest in running for office.

Good idea

In previous posts I’ve kind of joked that Tommy and Condoleeza would make a good Blue Plate special.

Would be proud to wear a ‘Franks ‘n Rice’ campaign button.
Of course Beans ‘n Franks would sound better. Anybody know of a General Bean ???

“General Pace hasn’t shown any interest in running for office.”

Don’t think you’ll see that either. I think he’d rather continue to “serve” the Marines by supporting their various foundations.

....‘Franks ‘n Rice’ ...

Har.... good one

[George W. Bush]

This is just silly.

The difference is that the American people would never support General Pace. They want HRC for many reasons. Some may just want to see the tabloid Clinton “sex” show resume for the next four years. I think the poll said only 5 percent of the Americna people claimed to have morals lower than their beloved B.C.

[ma bell]

General Pace v. Wesley Clark? How well or unfair would that be for a Marine versus a “phony” soldier Clark?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Joseph Farah is a joke and his website is the equivalent of Weekly World News.

[petitfour]

Peter ‘n Franks???

[GreenLanternCorps]

Yes, electing William Henry Harrison, Zachary Taylor and Ulysses S. Grant as President worked out so well.

I’m thinking Joseph Farah went to public school...
