I agree with you, this thread kind of turned into a riot and Romney was their target. The Republicans did not have much of a lineup and they lost. President Bush draws the same animosity as Mitt Romney and I honestly don’t think there was a person on the ballot that would have done a better job than President Bush did. Certainly not McCain, and I think Thompson had shown he wasn’t up to the job (especially considering what he would have faced), I had hope for Huckabee at one time but the more I looked at him the more he reminded me of Clinton (plus he seemed unpredictable and a little strange). I thought Rudy Giuliani would have been best at dealing with the opposition and executive experience equal to any of the candidates but there were problems with some of his views and he seemed to push everyone’s buttons.

I think all this energy should be directed to influencing the direction of this country by working to derail the socialist agenda and finding candidates that work towards that end as well as rebuilding this nation. We can then rationally debate their merits as well as their performance. As far as the presidential candidates for next time, I am interested in Haley Barbour, Mark Sanford, Bob Riley, and Bobby Jindal, others are passionate about Sarah Palin. Let’s get on track and prepare for the coming challenges.

I would also like to add that I think GOP_Lady was treated quite shabbily on another thread. She appears to be a credit to this forum, it will be diminished if she, and others like her, are driven out.

I agree with your comments. And I’m glad you mentioned the animosity towards President Bush too. He deserves far more respect and gratitude than he’s been given here.
