[Retired Intelligence Officer]

This is what I have been waiting for. The reason I say this is because he would make a great vice president for Sarah Palin. A Palin/Bolton ticket is what this country needs to get the nation back on track to prosperity and get our military hardware upgraded to the point that other countries would not be able to match our technology and firepower. Obama has ruined the reputation of the office of the presidency with his bowing to foreign leaders of other inferior nations. Bolton with his strong hard core diplomatic skills could be a real asset to a Palin Presidency and the United States vital interests.

[GOP Poet]

Glad to hear it.

[wiseprince]

Too much military adventurism with Bolton, in my opinion.

[seoul62]

A big up for Bolton but for Palin, no.

[runninglips]

Bolton is a heckuva man IMO, but he would be wasted as a veep. The biggest thing we need is change. We NEED leaders from outside the power structure, renegades and rebels. Both he a Palin seem to represent that. On the other hand, we must watch carefully, those that got us into this mess, both D and R are waiting to preempt any move to rein govt in.

[the invisib1e hand]

Palin/Bolton

This doesn't seem marketable, not at this point at least.

[presently no screen name]

What is his stand on other things? If he really is a true conservative, Sarah may not run. Her wishes are our wishes - for a true conservative to bring this country back.

Has Bolton spoke out before on anything? The healthcare, Israel, the financial crisis, etc.? Seemed like Sarah was out there solo but I may be wrong.

[PaleoBob]

Great guy, great mind, no shot.

[Elyse]

If he’s announced that he wants to run for President why would you think that he would settle for Vice-President?

[Conservative Tsunami]

Bolton is CFR.

NO THANKS.

[rogue yam]

Sounds good to me.

Run John, run!

[wolfpat]

Shoot. He said that much on Red Eye months ago.

[Cicero]

I wouldn’t mind seeing Bolton as Palin’s Secretary of State. We badly, badly need to clean out the State Department. Not even Eisenhower succeeded in doing that. And it’s been getting worse and worse ever since. But it’s got to happen some time.

Hillary is a figurehead with no real foreign policy experience beyond helping Bill take bribes from China and Indonesia. Bolton could really do the job, I believe.

[HerrBlucher]

A Palin/Bolton ticket, will mop the floor with ALL challengers. They will walk into the oval office with ease. Say goodnight Liberinos, your day is over.

[Diogenesis]

Pick one:

Sarah Palin/John Bolton 2012

Mitt Romney/Perez Hilton 2012

[dfwgator]

I’d love Bolton as POTUS, but let’s face it, this country will never vote for him.

[EternalVigilance]

I like what I’ve seen from Bolton on foreign policy and the Second Amendment.

But there doesn’t seem to be a scrap of information on where he stands on much of anything else.

Which doesn’t bode well. Silence is a form of assent.

[chicken head]

palin/bolton would be awesome— cause sarah needs someone on the ticket with foreign policy experience—

[truth_seeker]

Bolton was our full Ambassador to the UN, and held higher rank than Keyes.

If Bolton is a serious candidate, he needs to take the current administration on and get some media attention.

Lacking that attention, he’ll wind up on the Bob Barr, Alan Keyes tier of candidates.

[FourPeas]

WND is a bit behind the times. Bolton’s said he’s thinking about it for several weeks.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Any Ambassador Bolton inner circle folks, please freepmail me privately with contacts to you and your office; if this goes forward I have some various helpful ideas and resources.

If you are a long time Freeper, you will know what I am about on this forum, particularly with respect to Wider Asia. Bolton is the real deal; this is a very, very interesting development.
