“And at any rate, the American electorate in general does not agree with your premise — otherwise it wouldn’t have elected Bill Clinton twice and most recently Obama. Neither of these men have worn the uniform.”


What the hell is this about? It isn’t my premise go back and read the posts.

You were obviously not paying attention in New Hampshire when McCain pulled out a win after it looked like his campaign was over. It was the liberals (who already thought they had a candidate) who crossed over who determined who won in NH. After that the libs were doing their own “undeclared” version of Operation Chaos - trying to set up Republicans with someone who could not win. And they did.

"He didn’t say combat, he said worked in a combat specialty, his requirements (enlisted) would still exclude Ronald Reagan, Congressman Duncan Hunter, and Congressman elect Duncan D. Hunter, because they were all officers."

Congressman Hunter enlisted as a private and received his commission by way of Officer Candidate School. He also earned his CIB.

Operation chaos was in answer to the stuff they pulled in New Hampshire, etc. The Dems started it.

Only if the GOP lets them and they of course will. The current GOP benefits from having open primaries as their favoured candidates have the advantage.

Perhaps, but I must admit that I really appreciated his tough stance on the Auto Bailout. His recent articles on that issue have been awesome. I don't know if he has a future as a 2012 nominee, but he definitely has a future as a voice for free market economics going forward.

Except that Romney supports the $1 Trillion Wall Street bailout, which makes any proposed auto bailout look like chump change.

If Palin does her homework, governs as a fiscal and social conservative while being a classical liberal with regard to liberty and property rights she will be a formidable candidate.

If she comes to the table for POTUS with the same knowledge base she came to the VP table with she won't be.

Well Reagan was sworn in as enlisted, what was Hunter’s MOS before he went to OCS?

About that stupid clothes crappola....that is ANOTHER insult levied on this woman by the GOP. “THEY” had to dress her up because she evidently didn’t fit their in their style book wearing her own clothes. I loved it when she went back to her own ‘consignment store clothes’ and started wearing jeans. You think that lady doesn’t have balls? Humph...she has more than any of those men you are now speaking of as a candidate. I thought she was MORE than gracious in the way she put a spark into a very dull speech that she had to give at every rally. I heard boocoodles of them and she always sounded fresh even when the message given to her to say was more stale than last week’s bread. She’s a trooper..through and through!!

Only conservatives need apply. That leaves Romney out. Jindal or Palin unless Barbour or someone else chimes in.

http://www.teamsarah.org is the place to be if you wish to see Governor Palin continue in Republican party leadership. 60,000 members strong and growing by leaps and bounds. Headed for 100,000 members on our interactive activist web site — before the inauguration. Old boys move over — the pitbull with lipstick is movin’ in!

How do you really KNOW what her knowledge base is? What are you basing this on? She was running as a mate to a man running for President. She was espousing his vision of the Presidency. She uttered his words. When she had a chance to say her own words, she was shackeled by the campaign. We never had a picture of Sarah, the candidate for President. We didn’t get to hear her ideas. I was so impressed with her at the Republican Govenor’s Convention when she kept repeating over and over that she was a member of that team. She didn’t see herself as anything but a governor at that convention. We haven’t seen her in action as yet. We’ve only seen what John McCain allowed us to see.

He certainly did... was downright rude in his attitude toward Sarah.

I certainly wouldn't count out Sanford based on that one episode. He chuckled but then said she was "certainly in the mix". Counting him out because of that would be akin to dismissing Palin due to her interview with Couric, where she could have answered a question or two better.

It was most likely infantry. He earned a CIB (combat infantryman's badge--only awarded after combat missions) and a bronze star for combat missions (24 air assault missions--jumping out of helicopters and killing the enemy) with the 173rd Airborne Brigade and 75th Rangers in Vietnam.
