you so quickly dismiss Ronald Reagan..
Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
What the he
Just blechh
I'm not sure I understand your point. How did I dismiss him?
You could not be more wrong. These extraordinary times don't have sh-t to do with Obama's inexperience. He's very successfully implemented the real reason we are where we are - his hard core leftist beliefs. Has zip zero NADA to do with his inexperience. I cannot express how off key that is.
And the Senators have been Warren Harding, Harry Truman, John Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon and Barack Obama. Not a whole lot better.
If being a governor qualifies someone, then Cristie, Walker, Rubio, Bush, Jindahl, and Huckabee are on the short list.
It means that Jerry Brown would make an excellent candidate to be president. Well, at least he could trump anyone on our side who hasn’t been a governor. You know, you have to have been a governor...
It means that Romney was imminently qualified.
If being a governor qualifies someone, then every one of these guys would trump anyone who isn’t a governor.
Your take away from this should be that anyone who says a candidate has to have been a governor is backing a governor or former governor and knows they aren’t as good as someone else who would mop the floor with them.
I won't tell ya who to vote for, although the choice is entirely clear at this very moment. I will say this: vote for who you want, but if it ain't Cruz, just be prepared to lose 2016. Real Conservatives are tired of the battered women syndrome in the GOP and ain't going to put up with it. If that means Hitlery in 2016, so be it. It's time the GOP wise up and start listening. Real Conservatives aren't going to play the "lesser of evils" game anymore.
If your goal is to lose 2016, go right ahead. Vote for huckster or any of the other RINO's.
Or a whole lot worse for that matter...
Once could point to Obama, but he falls in a wide crack with reality something akin to a freak parallel universe where truth and freedom doesn’t trump no citizenship, no proven record, upbringing as an Islamic child, and attendance at universities he and his family couldn’t pay for.
I toss him out on the absurdity he represents.
He is clearly the hands down winner for most likely to be a traitor to our nation, and an active mole within our White House.
Very good observation. I think Jimmy Carter is the best example of the “governor experience” being bogus that I can think of.
And we know how that turned out, don't we?
Yes. He won the White House, while those experienced and highly qualified candidates Bob Dole, JohnMcCain, and Mitt Romney failed miserably.
Thats how that turned out.
We're not falling for your GOPe crap this time, sport.
That's the thing.
Obama had a vision (albeit an anti-American one), he had goals, and he had a helluva marketing campaign.
That's what drives someone to be President, not someone being in various elected offices for 2+ decades.
The point is: it's not about experience as an elected office holder.
It's about the agenda, the vision, the values, the commitment, the intelligence, the integrity. In most cases, long experience in elective government office only ends up being used against We The People.
Think about how criminals leaving prison come out as better trained criminals than when they went. Prison is like Criminal University.
And elective office all too often becomes Corruption University -- making connections, buddies, new techniques.
Life experience, work experience is important. But what experience does Ted Cruz lack that will make him ineffective as President.
You think he can't surround himself with brilliant, experienced, principled, patriotic experts that share his values to fill cabinet positions?
You think he can't recognize experienced, patriotic military specialists to lead our military, and that he can't adopt the policies that will strengthen our ability to defend ourselves?
You think he can't deal with the legislature, or the judiciary?
You think ANY other candidate can do more to restore Constitutional law to our federal government?
Just please. Can we get serious?
Honestly, I think of Carter, Clinton, Bush, and Romney this way.
Which one of those guys was worth his salt. Bush had his moments both high and very low.
Bush absolutely destroyed the viability of Conservatism before he left office.
Without him, Obama is not elected president.
No. Rule No. 1 is don’t let the left wing press frame the issues on which the right must determine its candidates. Let Republicans run their own debates.
We tried the OJT thing with the Kenyan community agitator retard guy. It didn’t work out.
Cruz control for me also.
Conservatives everywhere believe the comrade has this country teetering on the brink. So, what do we have? such things as we see on this thread, the “one has to have been a governor.” As if we are back in the 70’s, 80’s, or something, business as usual, you know.
Forget all these worthless little cliche’s, the times cry out for someone who, in every conservative’s heart of hearts, KNOWS he will do what he says he will do. That someone is Cruz. Here’s a man a conservative can actually trust. He has proven time and time again, that he has the “right stuff.”
Exactly so, time people here recognized that.
As far as Bush is concerned, the one thing I can say in his favor is that he does love the country and our military. Sure can’t say that about the current Occupier.
And because of the idiots that vote (R) no matter what, I'll keep sending money and time to the Cruz campaign.
I know who I want to vote for, and who I will vote for.
Jeb and everybody else can pound sand.
Cruz or lose. It's that easy.
I, and many others like me, won't let the media or GOP-E select the candidate without some pushback.
