Just me me a candidate who is prolife and does not support individual mandates, global warming crap, gay rights, or is weak on immigration and who does not like bailouts.
I won’t care if they are otherwise perfect.
Nobody is asking for “perfection”, but some issues are deal breakers.
I agree with Rush. Everyone is claiming that only their candidate can beat Obama. And that’s just not the truth. Any of them CAN win.
And none of them are perfect. We are electing a human being here. Not a God. They’ve all made gaffes. They have all made mistakes. If one mistake disqualifies them, you will drive yourself mad and find yourself struggling to find anyone to support.
*Sigh* Feel like I’m reliving the McCain campaign. Okay, we’ll see what happens. Sadly, I guess my stance is nothing more than, “anybody but Obama.”
Gawd, how embarrassing.

The best we have is right before our eyes — Rick Santorum.
Because in the absence of Constitutional Government....the Republican or Democrat designee to the office doesn’t really matter?
I know Limbaugh is speaking more in the abstract here, but despite that fact that there is no such thing as a perfect candidate, this particular field seems more blemished than normal. On the one side, you've got the experienced guys who are exactly what we don't need -- insiders who are too vested in the "system" to change it. On the other side, those who are enough "outside" have shown themselves to be impetuous, undisciplined, and/or unprepared.
The only good news about all of this is that the latter group can be fixed. But they're running out of time as the primary season's start is next month.
Translation: The current field has either crapped the bed or can’t even beat those who have. But let’s ignore that and nominate one of them anyway. Maybe Barry and the Chicago Outfit will be nice and give them a break.
I think that you can take the names of all the prospective Republican nominees, throw them into a hat, pull any one out and put that person in the White House and four years later you will wind up with a far more prosperous and happy country than Zero can create.
