I realize that those whose minds are closed to voting for anyone other than ____________ (you fill it in), and who will either stay home or write in the name of who they want, will not listen to me or anyone else.
So I address my remarks to others who lurk or whose minds are not closed on the subject.
As Fred Thompson and Duncan Hunter have stated, there is no greater, more dire issue than national security. It trumps everything. That’s where I’m coming from.
Second would be the Supreme Court, and I have no doubt those two men would agree with that.
Third would be moral/social issues.
Fourth would be the economy and the American way of life (freedom and opportunity).
I’m only going to address the ultimate issue - national security.
The only candidates I want are either Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson.
For the sake of national security - which is for ALL the marbles in the survival and viability of our nation and includes the welfare of our Armed Forces - I will vote for Rudy, Romney or McCain in the General if that’s all that stands between America and Hillary or B. Hussein.
Any Republican President that we would elect would be able to attract a top notch national security team. It would not be McCain alone, for those who worry about McCain’s fitness. And were he to exhibit unfitness to command while in office, I have no doubt that those closest to him would intervene. The Republicans have a very deep bench in national security talent and experience.
Rudy and Romney would need good help as well, and they would get it.
Two final points:
On domestic issues my belief is that the likely scenario is mostly a stalemate. Your ideas (some of you) that a President not to your liking could get in there and suddenly do x, y and z and presto, all would change for the worse, are off base given the realities.
I know some are worried that some Repub Presidents would give away the store to the Dems. I don’t see that happening as the Dems are so extremely Leftist and full of hate that fear can’t come to fruition. Meanwhile, conservatives have already stopped bad legislation such as McCain-Kennedy, and they torpedoed Dubai Ports and Harriet Miers. They can do so again.
Lastly, I didn’t say what I would do about Huckabee and Paul. Paul won’t get the GOP nomination, mercifully. If Huckabee were to get it by some “miracle”, and I don’t rule it out, the jury is still out and the book is still open on whether or not Huckabee could convince me to vote for him. Right now I could NOT do it.
But if the Republican masses and/ or the convention choose Huckabee, our party and our country would appear - to me - just about lost. The only question I would have is, what is there left to salvage, what scrap left to hold onto, and what could I do about it?
Join the club. I’ve been told by several people on this site that I shouldn’t be allowed to vote because I’m a woman.
I wish we did not have to do that, but thats the reality.
We got RINOs coming out of the plastic woodwork like cockroaches. Wheres the Da*m Raid? We have Christian RINOs, Mormon RINOs, sacrilegious RINOs, space ship RINOs, pirate RINOs.
They are like stinkbugs. Step on any of them and they stink, they just put out a different odor. LOL
Don’t know if you are a DU troll or not, but I find it difficult to argue with that statement.
“Ginsburg who is young and fit and will last 50 years”
Doesn’t she have cancer?
Why vote for a D just because he somehow has an R by his name on this ballot? To avoid some other D? Sorry, that’s not much of a reason for me to advocate for a candidate. It’s simply a waste of my time, energy, money, reputation, and hopes.
JUST KIDDING!!!!!
If we don't buy what the GOP is selling, someone will create a product that we want.
We just need to stop buying what the GOP is selling.
Rudy or Huck or John or Myth.
Correct.
We hold no sway whatsoever with Hillary or any other Dem President, and the same goes for Dems in Congress.
We do have some sway with Repubs - not as much as we would like - but enough to make some crucial differences.
About Hillary “ignoring” us if we work to stop something, I actually think she will find a way to punish us. And it will not be pretty. Look out for a full attack to get Rush, Hannity, etc off the air and a whole host of other domestic atrocities. Abuse of IRS, Law Enforcement, etc. A Justice Dept. where no justice can be found but to be used against whomever gets in Hillary’s way.
Etc. Etc. Etc.
I thought it meant Government Of Pu$$ies
Uh, those guys would be the Mooselim RINOs. LOL
That thought alone is enough to make me vote GOP.
LOL! Mark Foley and Linseed Graham can attest to that.
You misread the post about Ginsburg, but it WAS written a bit awkwardly so no foul...
It wasn’t saying that Ginsburg is young and fit and will last 50 years.
It was saying that the next Dem President will replace Ginsburg with someone who is young and fit and will last 50 years.
I think you have your eyes on the wrong weasels.
Yes, and she's spoken before about controlling the internet.
A lot of conservative media life lines would be endangered.
Got it.
