Don’t let the MSM pick you nominee................

[Past Your Eyes]

Good grief! Are we going to let the ABC Newses of the country pick our candidate again? I hate to even admit that some of them are Republicans. Ron Paul???? GMAFB.

[GeronL]

I looked at the first page and decided I don’t care what ABC thinks.

It will be a very hard year to get nominated as a RINO. Of course if it is a 12 way race then they can get in again the same way McCain did last time.

Palin hurt herself by helping McCain. It makes it that much harder to run as a "Real" Republican.

Finally the Liberal MSM is going to make sure that the primaries are ugly. Crossover voting will be very bad and you can expect them to try to drive a wedge between the RINOs and the Tea Partiers. In hopes of causing a third party run. Especially since there are unlikely to be any primaries on the Dem side.

Why did ABC talk only to conservative leaders, party officials and assorted pundits, rather than put these names out to ordinary citizens? The so-called experts don't know jack.

I do know who I wouldn't want to run — Mitt Romney and Mike Huckabee. Way too conciliatory. Rick Santorum is not one of my favorite people, but he would be a good one if only to pizz off the liberal loons.

As for Scott Brown, way too early to look at him for a presidential bid now. Let's see his track record and if he's ok, look at him maybe in 2016.

Well, by golly, I’m just thrilled the MSM has so early on decided for US just who our candidates should be. Guess we can all rest easy now, eh??

As much as I can proscribe to Ron Paul's fiscal and monetary policies, he's off the reservation when it comes to our national security and sovereignty. Here's a snippet from an interview wherein Paul says DEMOCRATS WOULD DO A BETTER JOB at investigatory oversight and lends further credence to the 9/11 “truthers.”

[From Michelle Malkin regarding Paul in which he stated Democrats would do a better job with investigatory oversight and further lending credence to the 9/11 truther movement and the “America had it coming” crowd:]

“CALLER: I want a complete, impartial, and totally independent investigation of the events of September 11, 2001 . I’m tired of this bogus garbage about terrorism. Ask Michael Meacher about how he feels about this bogus war on terrorism. Can you comment on that please?

HON. DR. RON PAUL: Well, that would be nice to have. Unfortunately, we don’t have that in place. It will be a little bit better now with the Democrats now in charge of oversight. But you know, for top level policy there’s not a whole lot of difference between the two policies so a real investigation isn’t going to happen. But I think we have to keep pushing for it. And like you and others, we see the investigations that have been done so far as more or less cover-up and no real explanation of what went on.”

The clueless network chimes in...

[BusterBear]

ABC is assuming that Obama is going to run in 2012. Possibility: by 2012, Obama’s polls may be so far down that he faces a strong challenge for the nomination and may even withdraw, like Lyndon Johnson.

ABC writes about conservatives for readers who aren’t conservative. Why would I care what they have to say?
