The poll results so far of "Who do you foresee as emerging to lead the Republican Party" breakdown as follows:
Rand Paul 40% Chris Christie 7% Marco Rubio 18% Someone else 35%
I don’t blame you for changing the channel before Rove comes on. I switched, too. :)
Jeb Bush of course /s
Yes that is him. I guess I should learn his appropriate name if I am going to brag about him. Thank you!
Rand Paul thinks we should have a great military primarily geared for defense, that we should quit sending money to nations that hate us, we should help defend our allies, and nation building through war (Iraq) is not the right thing to do. Rand Paul thinks that if we have to go to war, we strike hard, using our power to defeat quickly rather than have a war designed to make defense contractors rich.
Vichy Republican: Nixon was that; tried to out liberal Kennedy in 1960
“Youre right. I went to http://www.billoreilly.com/ and proudly cast my vote for Someone Else ;-)”
So did I. I didn’t care much for the lineup.
The republican party needs a reckoning. It needs to decide is it truly a conservative party or the currently trending vichy, me-too I want to spend and grow just not as much as you, democrat lite party.
This reckoning needs to come to a head sooner rather than later for the countries sake. The traitorous vichy-gope must be tossed out currently the republican party is worth about as much as an opposition party as a puddle of goat piss in the barn yard.
Trouble is the vichy-gope control the levers of power and are not going anywhere anytime soon. We are screwed unless Palin, Cruz, Paul etc... stand up and walk out taking 90% of the conservative base with them.
I am not big on third parties but for conservatives to be successful in reckoning they have to replace the vichy-gope as the second party and kick it into the third party tier. It’s the countries only hope working within the republican party is not an option at this late point.
Bachmann? She backed Obama railing about Snowden being a Traitor? Then she went on the house flour and made a complete ass of herself on Amash’s amendment to defund the NSA domestic spying. She is as useless as any everyday GOPe like Peter King or Christie.
Santorum has no talent. He’s not a serious player.
Cruz or Paul, either one works for me.
What “Lead” implies is that he/she will not make decisions based on politics, but rather what is good for the country in the long run. Borrowing and over spending does work in next election but the country as a whole is going to the dogs.
I can’t stand last 2 GOP nominee’s. McCain is a total jackass, and ROmney was way too mild mannered to confront the community organizer from Chicago machine. But then I will vote for a dog catcher over the community organizer or Hilda beast.
Santorum has no charisma. He has weird facial expressions when confronted with a difficult question. Like it or not this is the age of 24-7 TV. Like it or not, your looks and personality means a lot to the low-information voters.
From my observation Cruz and Rand are the best in answering all gotcha questions with smoothness, aplomb and not having the deer in headlights look like Palin had in 2008. I would absolutely be thrilled to heaven if she becomes president buyt 50 years of observing politics tells me she can not win, unfortunately.
Could be because Cruz and Palin have not declared interest in running in 2016. Cruz has made tangential comments, Palin none.
You got that right. With one moderate versus many semi-conservatives, Romney won easily.
,GET TO WORK!

COME BACK, LAD, WHEN YOU'VE GOT A LAW DEGREE AND AUTHORED 9 CONSERVATIVE BEST SELLERS...!
You make some fine points. I suppose we are going to end up with Christie and then lose again to whatever Democrat they chose. Such a shame.
Come back when miss law degree explains pimping Christie and Romney after slagging everything they stood for and actually did for several best sellers.
Or do you have a mental block going about that extremely unconservative reality?
Unfortunately, Ann Coulter screws the pooch when it comes to presidential elections.
She’s done a good job fighting Rubio and amnesty, however.
Yep, it’ll take him a while to get traction, but when Christie gets momentum he’ll be really hard to stop. Your run-of-the-mill safety net just ain’t gonna cut it.
