Bush has been a great war-time President, both for the US and for the rest of the world — under the circumstances, I don’t really see how he could have done better. And so it is that I look on with fascinated horror at the upcoming elections: the idiots amongst us in NZ are hoping for Obama, or Hillary! — anything but a good steady hand at the tiller of the Ship of State.

McCain? I dunno about McCain except what I read on the FRee Republic, and what I’ve gleaned of his War Record, and what I’ve been able to surmise on the information that is publicly available.

Of the three? He’d be my pick. But I’d be happier with someone like, say, Ollie North.

I do not understand how it is that the GOP got to this point, where a large percentage of Conservatives are unhappy with their candidate. I do understand, however, that at this time last year I was warning about the absence of a strong candidate for the Conservatives — here on the FRee Republic. I was told that there was plenty of time...

(check the posting histories if you doubt it.)

Overseas it matters a great deal to us whom America chooses as its next President. Like I said, when you lot sneeze, we catch pneumonia.

Please, choose wisely! Do not waste your vote.

God Bless America

Conservatives split their votes. The rest is history.

RNC Last Chance to Fix 2012 Primaries

As I wrote back in January, “According to a Fox News exit poll, 32% of the Michigan Republican primary voters identified themselves as independents or Democrats. Another Fox exit poll showed 20% of the South Carolina Republican primary voters said they were either Democrats or independents. In Michigan, Gov. Romney won with 39%, Sen. McCain was second at 30% and Gov. Huckabee third at 16%. In South Carolina, John McCain won with 33% of the vote, Mike Huckabee had 30% and Fred Thompson had 16%. Given those margins, it’s pretty clear that the Dems and independents controlled the result in both states.”

Open primaries killed the conservatives' hopes.
