When I look at how the RNC has performed this year I am surprised that they didn’t try to position Vicente Fox as a candidate. They finally quit calling me for donations. That is the one good thing they’ve done this summer.
Just which candidate do they support who you agree has the qualifications to be our leader?
“They finally quit calling me for donations.”
Me too...
First, I agree with all Republicans more the any Democrat. However, like many Republicans, I am sick and tired of the lesser evil and would very much like to return the RNC to conservative principles and values.
I don’t see RP as conservative at all, just libertarian and isolationist in the style of a Pat Buchanan.
Of course, I don’t see Rudy McRomney as conservative either, or at least conservative enough.
That leaves only a few options. Thompson, Hunter, Tancredo, who else?
Of those remaining, Thompson has the best chance of winning IMO. I agree with his positions some 90+ %, as I do Hunter and Tancredo, which is as much as I have ever agreed with any national candidate. I didn’t agree with Reagan any more than that. I don’t agree with Huckabee any more than I do Rudy McRomney.
I voted for Bush twice agreeing only about 60%. Of course, like most conservatives who knew in advance what “compassionate conservative” meant, I actually voted against Gore and Kerry.
So if I had to vote today, I’d have to vote for Thompson. But I sure hope to see him do more to deserve that vote in the near future.
