DeMint, Pence, Rounds, Bachmann, Bolton should be a good start

If those are my only choices, then:
Bolton/Pence 2012 works for me.

Well, okay, until one of them says something I don't like... ;) See, this is the value of not making too many public appearances too early. Fewer chances to say something regrettable.

Unfortunately, what will no doubt happen is that there will be a bazillion candidates splitting the "conservative" vote (whatever that is) and a candidate who is little more than a Democrat will prevail. This is what happened in Michigan's gubernatorial race, and I think it's becoming the new Republican "strategy" for "winning."

OTOH, I could be absolutely wrong. However, I so rarely am.

Bolton has a lot going for him, but is he ready for prime time? Sarah Palin is a terrific lady, but it might be better for her to play kingmaker than actually be a candidate. Mitt Romney just has too many credibility problems. Mike Huckabee is a social conservative, but not an economic conservative. Thankfully, we have plenty of time to work this out.

Consider the source: Newsweek

That is the same pack of vermin that stated on their cover: “We are all Socialists now.”

Of course we are not, but they don’t know that. (Really they just lie and say they don’t know that)

If Pence runs, I’m supporting him.

I'm an evangelical Southern Baptist Christian, and I would vote for Gingrich over any Democrat I can think of no matter his or her claims regarding moral/ethical issues. I don't know anything about Newt's religious convictions, but based on what I have heard him say I believe he would take a strong pro-morality stance on moral and ethical issues.

It's one thing for a candidate to say he or she is a Christian, it's another thing for him/her to vote on bills or judicial appointments according to Christian principles. Any politician who puts political dogma ahead of Christian morality isn't fit to govern, and that description fits every Democrat politician I know anything about.

IMHO no bible-believing Christian can support a pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, pro-evolution public schools, candidate to be the leader of this nation that was founded on biblical Christian principles by a Congress composed primarily of Christian men. I realize that many of you will disagree, and that's your right in the USA, for now at least.

Looking for Mr. Right

PS: Somehow, given the current crop of likely Republican contenders, I'm afraid that the best that will happen is finding a Mr Goodbar. (A reference to a movie from the 70's where a teacher spends her nights cruising bars, looking for, and finding, abusive men)

I think Palin is great, but, I did a search on Palin and illegals, and I got this:

http://immigration.about.com/od/immigrationlawandpolicy/a/palin.htm
Governor, let me ask you about immigration. How many undocumented immigrants are there in Alaska?
I don’t know, I don’t know. That’s a good question.
As governor, how do you deal with them? Do you think they all should be deported?
There is no way that in the US we would roundup every illegal immigrant -there are about 12 million of the illegal immigrants- not only economically is that just an impossibility but that’s not a humane way anyway to deal with the issue that we face with illegal immigration.
Do you then favor an amnesty for the 12 or 13 million undocumented immigrants?
No, I do not. I do not. Not total amnesty. You know, people have got to follow the rules. They’ve got to follow the bar, and we have got to make sure that there is equal opportunity and those who are here legally should be first in line for services being provided and those opportunities that this great country provides.
To clarify, so you support a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants?
I do because I understand why people would want to be in America. To seek the safety and prosperity, the opportunities, the health that is here. It is so important that yes, people follow the rules so that people can be treated equally and fairly in this country.
I did a search on Bolton and illegals, and all I got was some long winded speeches, but, over and over again, John Bolton recognizes that our countries sovereignty is at stake.

I live amongst millions of foreigners, I could survive here speaking nothing but Spanish.

Unless you guys convince me otherwise, I will not vote for Palin

Governors make good presidents. Not legislators.

I like Pence, a lot.

DeMint is terrific too- though he may piss off too many independents.
