I listen to Rush occasionally. He is fine but is NOT running for President so why bring him up? Reagan was fine and like I said he was divorced decades before going into politics. I don’t see why my bringing up morals is such a bad thing. Listen, how on Earth can Trump talk about family values? It is impossible for him to when he does not have any. He is NOT going to be President so why have this discussion? He is popular because of the Birther movement which I appreciate but that does not translate into being a President. In 2008, everyone was so on the Thompson boat that flame wars were all over the place and he did not make it and I knew he wouldn’t but you can’t tell people that without emotions getting into it. Why not wait and see who our candidate is before DEMANDING that he be the ONE? We have a ton of time until the election in political life anyway. We should all just step back and wait and see who gets in. Maybe Trump will be the only candidate and then he will be the one everyone votes for unless a good conservative runs third party and then that will be another discussion but only if that time arrives.
I am just responding to your comment about if Trump is the candidate he does not get your vote because he is divorced, don’t see the logic? What difference did it make when Reagan got a divorce before he entered politics, he still got a divorce. He did a great job speaking of family values. Trump’s children from his different marriages get along very well, that must speak of his value for the family. I am tooting The Trump because he is going to be the only one to win against Obama. Do you really think Bachmann, Romney, Huckabee, even Palin will beat Obama in a debate? They will be stiff and too rehearsed, extra cautious of what they say. Trump doesn’t give a crap, he will call it as he sees it and throw Obama off his game.
We shall see. I think it is early and I believe when Sarah announces everyone else will be an after thought. However, let’s just see how this plays out. We cannot continue to discuss Trump at this point as he has not announced and he will not AT LEAST until May after the Apprentice is off the air because he can’t. So until he announces then this is all moot.
Clinton aside, they all represent areas that he has business interests in. Which happen to be more Dem dominated areas.
These are very good thoughts, IMO. I think we need a president who can work with both sides, because let’s face it - we’re never going to have an all one-party Congress. Sure, there may be a majority in one chamber or the other - but, not all of one or the other. As much as I hate DEMS and their ideas, they were elected by their constituents as well.
We truly need a uniter. I think Sarah could do that, but, it remains whether or not she will run. The press has beat her up so bad, and to be honest, there are still people who believe this crap.
It will be an interesting election, that’s for sure. But, whoever gets the nomination - we need zero and his corruption out of office.
-or-
It could affect a resurgence of support for Obama, and like numbers as last election will show up at the polls to vote for him again.
I can’t see him getting the blind hopey-changey support he had in 2008.
I think people aren’t as stupid as they were back then.
[especially those who lost their jobs, homes, pets, pay outrageous gas prices, etc] *plus* his ‘core” is p*ssed over Libya, his big backers aren’t happy and all those folks starving while Royalty feast on rare delicacies surely are noticing.
Not to mention the Muzzies and Black Panthers turning on him.
Face it, he *only* won because he *wasn’t* W.
In 2012, that might turn around and bite him on the ass.
My vote [if I don’t get my top choices] will be solely based on “NOT 0”.
I doubt I’m alone in that respect.
I hope Trump does run a vicious interference for whomever get the actual nomination.
But, having said all that, nothing surprises me any more and I’m pretty much running solely on the thinnest thread of hope that he gets GONE.
[his campaign slogan, if truth in advertising actually mattered, should be “BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY”]
