I agree that we (Republicans) don’t have a weak field.

There is no clear front runner, but I don’t think that’s because the field is weak. I think it’s because:

a) we have many strong contenders and
b) we are fussy.

I am more enthusiastic about some candidates/potential candidates than others, but every one of them is breathtakingly better than Obama, and could take it.

So in brief I think we have a strong field, not a perfect but a strong field, and that we are in very good shape for 2012.

We need to stick together. Principled debate is fine, Name-calling candidate bashing perjorative RINO slinging is not; just damages us.

viciously attacking Sarah Palin and her family, and hyping real or imaginary divisions between Republicans -- never among the Democrats, who present the image of a united front with Stalinesque unity.

The Dems are united. United in evil.

And it is all anti-America, anti-Christian, and anti-White.

Democrats

The KKK votes for the same guy as the Black gang-banger.

The Jew votes for the same guy as the Jihadi Muslim.

The homosexual votes for the same party that hangs homosexuals.

The feminists vote for the same party that thinks women are property, like a dog or a cow, and beats them regularly.

Oh yeah, one thing that can't be denied, the National Socialists are a united group. They unite for everything evil in the world. They are united for their own destruction.

We are seeing Paradise Lost on Earth.

I hope he’s 100% right, but I think he is way too overconfident.

That part about the world’s shale reserves taking the piss out of OPEC within a decade really made me feel warm and fuzzy. Hope it works out that way...or sooner.

Only one comment. Ford was not elected, he was in fact and quite literally, selected. I wonder if I still have my WIN! Button around (Whip Inflation Now) left over from the Ford administration.

“Harry Truman's Democrats were forced to purge the Stalinist left from the Democratic Party”

Hmmm. Not sure they got all of them. What we have is half of our country on the government dole. Sycophants....leaches. Harsh I know but seriously...it is gonna be hard to change the political landscape with so many people depending on government. It no longer seems to have the negative connotation it once had to be on the take. What we need is a severly harsh conservative who has charisma and is able to bluntly tell people why depending on the government is bad. No more RINO’s. No more whishy washy conservatives like McCain. I'm not even sure he's a conservative anymore if he ever was.

ON TOPIC: I hope this joke of a president is destroying the democractic party. Nothing would make me happier. Unfortunately in this American Idol culture we need the media to sway the masses. We need like 10 more Fox new’s...lol

I am a new convert to that line of thinking. Had I been really thinking I would have remembered the Reagan Rule.

We need to be a fist, not a bunch of flailing fingers.

I meant it as a gesture of friendship.

It is related to our discussions and certainly is the direction we can agree upon.

Seriously, I am not goofing.

OK.

Some people ping others to threads that may be of interest.

I meant no harm — and I bid you good night.

You know i’ve commented on my threads of yours and you know i am a big Palin fan. There is nobody i would prefer to see in the White House than she. As of now she is a weak candidate. She has been vilified,smeared,attacked and hounded to the point where the middle of the spectrum think of her as a joke. She has very little time to rehabilitate her image with the voters. The base hates Romney,Newt and Rudy are jokes,Pawlenty does not as of now come across as strong. Michelle is Palin light without all the baggage but read articles and the press is slowly painting her with the same brush as Palin.
Its a weak field.

He's my favorite writer at The American Thinker, bar none.

I have one comment.

Read this column of his: The left sees history's fist coming. Again.

I think the Whigs were actually a decent party. The Democrats certainly are not.

Sen. McCarthy called the Democratic Party the party of treason. That fits the party more today than when Sen. McCarthy called them out.

“Its a weak field.”

Your opinion, and you have a perfect right to be totally wrong. Get busy and find someone better.

And you can be just as wrong. It is after all a free country.
