Well sheesh, it’s not like we don’t have three years or so to figure it out.
BTW, DeMint in 2012!
I think a more likely question is, will Obama himself be running in 2012?
This is stupid ... should Republicans be certain this far in advance?
SnakeDoc
We’ll be OK as long as we develop a certainty over who should NOT represent the GOP
That is why we have elections with vigorous debate of ideas...
I’m sure Republicans can agree on one thing, WE DO NOT WANT OBAMA OR ANY OTHER PROGRESSIVE!
Okay, I’ll help. It’s not me.
Next?
Not McCain that’s for sure. His presidential hopes went down in flames and he should not rise up again.
I don’t know yet who the nominee should be, but I monimate Paul Ryan of Wisconsin for VP. I saw him on Kudlow last night and was quite impressed. So far, I like DeMint because he’s the only Senator who has truly been in the forefront fighting on behalf of us. I was also impressed yesterday with Judd Greg. Anyone who dares challenge and call out zero and the administration will get my consideration. No more wimps.
Why not simply have six regional Republican candidates who will rack up a majority of the electoral votes and let the by then majority House of Representatives pick the next president?
NOTE: Image may be larger than actual size
Whomever is the nominee, Republicans and indies will rally around to end El presidente’s term at one.
Any Ticket with Sheriff Joe Arpaio on it would be a LANDSLIDE VICTORY
DeMint/Bachman for 2012!
When I hear a Ronald Reagan speach like this:
A Time For Choosing
Campaign Speech for Barry Goldwater
delivered on numerous occasions
I am going to talk of controversial things. I make no apology for this.
It’s time we asked ourselves if we still know the freedoms intended for us by the Founding Fathers. James Madison said, “We base all our experiments on the capacity of mankind for self government.”
This idea? that government was beholden to the people, that it had no other source of power is still the newest, most unique idea in all the long history of man’s relation to man. This is the issue of this election:Whether we believe in our capacity for self-government or whether we abandon the American Revolution and confess that a little intellectualelite in a far-distant capital can plan our lives for us better than we can plan them ourselves.
You and I are told we must choose between a left or right, but I suggest there is no such thing as a left or right. There is only an up or down. Up to man’s age-old dream-the maximum of individual freedom consistent withorder or down to the ant heap of totalitarianism. Regardless of their sincerity, their humanitarian motives, those who would sacrifice freedom for security have embarked on this downward path. Plutarch warned, “The real destroyer of the liberties of the people is he who spreads among them bounties, donations and benefits.”
The Founding Fathers knew a government can’t control the economy without controlling people. And they knew when a government sets out to do that,it must use force and coercion to achieve its purpose. So we have come to a time for choosing.
Public servants say, always with the best of intentions, “What greaterservice we could render if only we had a little more money and a little more power.” But the truth is that outside of its legitimate function,government does nothing as well or as economically as the private sector.
Yet any time you and I question the schemes of the do-gooders, we’redenounced as being opposed to their humanitarian goals. It seemsimpossible to legitimately debate their solutions with the assumption that all of us share the desire to help the less fortunate. They tell us we’realways “against,” never “for” anything.
We are for a provision that destitution should not follow unemployment byreason of old age, and to that end we have accepted Social Security as astep toward meeting the problem. However, we are against those entrusted with this program when they practice deception regarding its fiscal shortcomings, when they charge that any criticism of the program means that we want to end payments....
We are for aiding our allies by sharing our material blessings with nations which share our fundamental beliefs, but we are against doling out money government to government, creating bureaucracy, if not socialism,all over the world.
We need true tax reform that will at least make a start toward I restoringfor our children the American Dream that wealth is denied to no one, thateach individual has the right to fly as high as his strength and abilitywill take him.... But we can not have such reform while our tax policy is engineered by people who view the tax as a means of achieving changes in our social structure....
Have we the courage and the will to face up to the immorality and discrimination of the progressive tax, and demand a return to traditional proportionate taxation? . . . Today in our country the tax collector’s share is 37 cents of -very dollar earned. Freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp.
Are you willing to spend time studying the issues, making yourself aware,and then conveying that information to family and friends? Will you resist the temptation to get a government handout for your community? Realizethat the doctor’s fight against socialized medicine is your fight. We can’t socialize the doctors without socializing the patients. Recognizethat government invasion of public power is eventually an assault upon your own business. If some among you fear taking a stand because you are afraid of reprisals from customers, clients, or even government, recognizethat you are just feeding the crocodile hoping he’ll eat you last.
If all of this seems like a great deal of trouble, think what’s atstake. We are faced with the most evil enemy mankind has known in his long climb from the swamp to the stars. There can be no security anywhere in the free world if there is no fiscal and economic stability within the United States. Those who ask us to trade our freedom for the soup kitchen of the welfare state are architects of a policy of accommodation.
They say the world has become too complex for simple answers. They are wrong. There are no easy answers, but there are simple answers. We must have the courage to do what we know is morally right. Winston Churchill said that “the destiny of man is not measured by material computation.When great forces are on the move in the world, we learn we are spirits-not animals.” And he said, “There is something going on in time and space, and beyond time and space, which, whether we like it or not, spells duty.”
You and I have a rendezvous with destiny. We will preserve for our children this, the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail,at least let our children and our children’s children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done.
..............
Then I will get excited
Let the market decide (as long as it isn’t McCain, Guiliani or Romney). That why we have primaries.
However, it would be nice if they were CLOSED primaries!
Keep it that way as long as possible - the lsm just wants a target to destroy with their 24/7 derangement syndrome.
Hmmmmmmmmm? Let me think here,.............I know!! We need someone in the image of say Bob Dole! No,no, I mean Gerald Ford! No,no, wait a minute I mean John McLame! Lindsay Gramnesty??? Bill O’Reilly???? Cripes, I can’t focus! Who? Who? Who???
Talking heads are talking up Mitt Romney....just who we don’t need!!!
Fine with me.
I see NO value, with 3 years before the election, in worrying about this. The longer it remains a mystery the better.
The focus now needs to be on weakening Obuma.
