I am a Mitt guy-with that being said I have no problems with Thompson at all.
Prior to this last primary my pecking order went something like this: Mitt, Fred (which are interchangeable in the case of necessity), and if I was forced McCain.
There would be no hope for Huckabee. I will not vote for him period.
McCain though just dropped off my list and I will explain why.
McCain is part of the problem in Washington, not the solution. It has been the likes of him and those congressmen like him who are too big of a ____________ to fight for what is good for America.
McCain has been briefed one too many times on 'the global economy'. His 'truth' isnt truth at all.
Now full disclosure... I have been involved in international business for about over a decade. I was in China before China was hot.
I am fluent in Chinese.
I own a company and one that covers multiple countries particularly in Asia. I have been in one dozen countries on business trips over the last 5 months.
I would not want a give up artist like McCain spouting his lies and the give up mentality regarding economic issues. Policy wonks who spout things like that need be chased out of Washington.
Yes, the global economy is here, but that dumb **** doesn't have the foggiest how to compete in it.
Everyone else is supposed to get an education except a damn Senator.
We really need to shake the holy **** out of Washington DC and run those punks out of town.
Does it mean we throw up a moat around America? No, but it means we have to be a pitbull and fight.
That numbnuts believes everyone should be retrained and go to school and learn and relearn...but for a job that doesn't exist. And won't exist. There is no guarantee that those new economy jobs will come to the USA.
I can't stand GW Bush for this same idiot mentality.
Education is great but education alone means nothing. You will wind up with a group of Phd's that can't find work.
There are fundamental problems with the way the US economy is being run. There is surely a problem with the way we are approaching globalization.
That give-upism is why McCain sucks. You have too many moronic people in Washington teaching that crap and too many people believing it. It is standard fare in some circles in Washington DC and that is utter garbage.
I don’t care what they do. I was willing to vote for their guy if he won-— until he espoused this crap.
If McCain was someone’s mom he would say something about like “I understand sweetie... but you really are an ugly duckling-—live with it”...
The Democrats will not withdraw from Iraq.
McCain would sell us out on all of the other issues.
If we are going Socialist, lets just get it over with and let the fever run it’s course.
There are untold millions of American military heroes who have never been so obsessed with themselves to use their service as means and methods to feather their own nest at taxpayers expense. My father laid on a mountain side in the ‘Forgotten War’ firing off artillery shells day and night and NEVER once did he think this nation owed him anything. He taught me there was no greater blessing than to have been given the privilege to be an American.
I think I'm there as well. That is, after watching what Swarzeneggar has done for California with S.B. 777, why should I support a RINO for President?
I think he sucks too. But, I don’t think you should post that in the title. LOL
I don’t like some of his politics. I think he is too easy on Terrorism, I think he is too easy-going and tries to hard to “meet in the Middle” with Liberals pulling him hard from the left.
I think he would make a decent President though - and IF he gets the nomination I’ll vote for him. HOWEVER, I wouldn’t vote for him in a Primary.
I want to see Fred as President.
“McCain is the economic equivalent of a Frenchman. Except Frenchmen will fight more.” lol, funny. And you must be right.
