I won't make a choice for a while. Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann or Rick Perry look good and can contend for my vote. Herman Cain and Rick Santorum are fine fellows but not likely to be nominees. May they both serve in the next cabinet! Newt Gingrich is a better guy than most will concede but reality is reality. He won't be nominated. Newt would make a great idea man for the next administration so long as he understands that global warming and similar issues are beyond the pale. Romney and Huntsman are useless RINOs who have no business seeking the nomination. I say this not because they are Mormons since Mormons of my acquaintance are very good folks. I would not be surprised if most Mormons voted against both of them. Ron Paul should have the sense to be embarrassed by his own looney tunes track record and Neville Chamberlain foreign policy and persistent lying about being on the right side of social issues when he simply refuses to have the fedgov correct the fedcourt created evils of abortion and gay everything posing as normality.

We don't have to be fighting each other over the three quality candidates (Palin, Bachmann, Perry). We will have to choose a candidate among them to unite behind to thwart the RINOs and destroy Obozo. We will know shortly whether Sarah is running. We will know whether we are choosing from two or three candidates. Let's not alienate each other in advance by being overly vehement against any one of them. Accentuate the positive as to those three is probably the wisest course. Don't you think so?

What will never leave my soul, is the fact that we had a Republican White House, a Republican majority in the House, and the Senate. We had it for six years.

How much Leftist legislation was stricken down over those six years? Was our nation better off when that administration handed over the keys to the next guy?

With a Bachmann/Cain White House, a Republican (Tea Party) majority in the House (which is a real possibility), and a simple Republican majority Senate, I see decades of Leftist legislation destroyed.

With Perry/Anybody, I seen another Bush administration. They guy has said a number of great things in recent years, but he didn’t quite get it on many issues prior to that.

Can we afford another moderate Republican? I simply cannot say yes.

I appreciate your comments. I do think they were reasoned. I’m not trying to give you a hard time. I’m merely trying to explain where I’m coming from.

Take care.

>>Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachmann or Rick Perry look good and can contend for my vote. Herman Cain and Rick Santorum are fine fellows but not likely to be nominees. <<<

Sarah is not running (not yet, but hopefully she does).

Michelle is okay, but Perry is damaged goods (eventually, if not already).

Herman Cain is a class act. A truly talented patriot. But his race will keep many in the “Party of Lincoln” away. That is sad. He is one bright and talented individual.

Rick Santorum endorsed and supported Arlen Specter for Senate in PA, so you can scratch him.

>>>Newt Gingrich is a better guy than most will concede but reality is reality. He won’t be nominated. Newt would make a great idea man for the next administration so long as he understands that global warming and similar issues are beyond the pale. <<<

I believed like you at one time. But Newt has proved over the years to be more the opportunist than the statesman, as is Rick Perry.

>>>Romney and Huntsman are useless RINOs who have no business seeking the nomination.<<<

Romney had only one real purpose in life: to defeat John McCain in the 2008 primary. But he failed.

>>>Ron Paul should have the sense to be embarrassed by his own looney tunes track record and Neville Chamberlain foreign policy and persistent lying about being on the right side of social issues when he simply refuses to have the fedgov correct the fedcourt created evils of abortion and gay everything posing as normality.<<<

How can Ron Paul, as a House member, make the federal government stop abortion? Answer that question and you will be an instant American Hero!

BTW, Neville Chamberlain had almost no military to back him up in his negotiations with Hitler. Ron Paul has thousands of Nukes at his disposal, if elected. He can “negotiate” from a position of strength, like, “I’m gonna make an offer you can’t refuse”.

>>>We don’t have to be fighting each other over the three quality candidates (Palin, Bachmann, Perry).<<<

Palin hasn’t entered the race (not yet, but my wife and I have Palin 2012 bumper stickers on our cars — yes, you can order them).

That leaves Michele Bachmann, who is a good patriot with a sharp mind. A little weak on rhetoric, but I would vote for her.

Rick Perry is damaged goods, if not now then in the future.

>>>We will have to choose a candidate among them to unite behind to thwart the RINOs and destroy Obozo.<<<

Then scratch Perry from your list. He is a first class RINO.

Let’s hope Sarah runs. And let’s hope she is everything her words say she is. But if not, Ron Paul is our only hope to stop this train wreck.
