Sure, he made a number of errors, but don’t those failures seem trivial compared to what we’re seeing now?
The Democrats are creating an unprecedented opportunity for GOP victories, but that will not happen for as long as the GOP refuses to abandon its vacant existence.
There is not one identifiable candidate that I believe can take the party forward to a victory in 2012. Today’s ‘hopefuls’ should be the norm, not the exception.
Well, yes and no. It was HIS errors who put this menace in the White House.
“The Democrats are creating an unprecedented opportunity for GOP victories, but that will not happen for as long as the GOP refuses to abandon its vacant existence.”
I keep saying that. I was saying that back in 2005 that if Bush didn't mend his ways we would loose ub 2006 and 2008. I ALSO said the Republicans in Congress should have introduced articles of impeachment against him for failing to uphold the Constitution by not enforcing immigration laws and conspiring with a foreign power - Mexico - to subvert our sovereignty. But they failed to do so and only opposed him in a lukewarm fashion, while allowing another menace McCain. to subvert them from within.
Obama is impeachable on the same grounds PLUS on account of his plans with the Gitmo terrorists and a host of other issues.

If the economy continues to tank, a Romney/Palin or Romney/Bachmann ticket would be viable. Cantor, Pence and Sanford are good. So is Hunter. But NONE of them will get the full support of the Republican apparatus if nominated. They will be skewered from within.
The GOP HAS viable candidates but the rank and file leadership on the National Level stinks and they are unduly influenced by traitors and morons like Chrissie Whitman, Michael Eisenberg, Tom Kean, and other big money libs who really belong in the Democrat Party. Not to mention the other losers I listed in my previous posts.
Here in New Jersey we have an ultra-liberal tax and spend governor who is not clever at all. He is a total moron and VERY vulnerable.
We have three candidates in the Republican primary: Lonegan, Merkt and Christie.
Lonegan is an OUTSPOKEN advocate for Republican Principals. He will fight the state unions, lay off excess employees, battle the idiotic state courts on funding issues which are constitutionally the prerogative of the legislature, not the judiciary, and straighten out the financial mess created by Chrissie Whitman (RINO), James McGreevey (Dem) and the current incumbent Corzine (Dem). Merkt is pretty much in the same ballpark as Lonegan - a solid conservative who will battle the notoriously activist and unconstitutional actions of the New Jersey Courts who created Mount Laurel and the Abbott School Districts which helped create the financial mess we are in.
The THIRD candidate, Christie, represents the very problems which continue to be discussed in this forum with respect to RINOs. Christie has name recognition as a very effective Federal Attorney General here. He prosecuted a lot of crooked politicians in New Jerset. Which was good. He also is loaded. His family is wealthy. But he a RINO in the Whitman mold. IF he gets elected he will pander to the unions, to the Abbott school districts, the Supreme Court and the illegal aliens. He is on reocrd as stating that illegal aliens have not committed a crime when the real world knows there very presence here indicates a violation of Federal Laws.
In addition to his personal wealth, my guess is he is being backed by multimillionaire RINO (formerly a DEM) Michael Eisenberg and his PAC, Christie Whitman, another millionaire RINO from “old money” and Tom Kean, another Moneyed RINO with “old money”. Its alos my suspicion that the GOP's latest mediocrity Michale Steele is supporting CHristie.
I digress here to illustrate the inherent problem with the GOP and why they are incapable of dealing with the Dems. There are far too many moneyed RINOS who really do NOT represent conservative, mainstream Republican rank and file and average American values, but have corrupted the GOP political apparatus with their wealth.
At this point, I couldn’t give a rat's ass about the GOP.
My ONLY concern is America, the Constitution and the survival of the Free Market system - all of which is being effectively destroyed by the communist President and his supporters in the Administration and Congress
