I never said they weren’t. They re all vastly superior to the idiot we have in there now. I am saying that the crop he lists (and he didn’t have Romney in there but let’s toss him in there too) will not win. We need better candidates. That list will not get it done.
“You’ve never heard of Earl Ofari Hutchison before?”
No, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the guy. I don’t watch TV.
If you’ll recall, that’s what they said about Ronald Reagan in 1979, Bill Clinton in 1991, Dubya in 1999 and Nixon in 1967.
I have actively contributed and proselytized for the conservative Republican cause and, frankly, I am ready to give up.
It is becoming apparent that elected Republicans are, by nature, content to be the hand maidens of big government and the last thing they want is a fuss over anything. They are hard wired to be milque toast.
If you could transport yourself back in time to 1980 you would see that Carter’s inner circle and the MSM was rooting for Reagan to win the Republican nomination. According to them Carter had it in the bag if the Republicans nominated that kooky Reagan. Hmmmm.
Let the Beltway media sell it otherwise all they want but this next election is about Obama and not the Republican candidate. Try as they might to make it about the Republican, and Lord knows the Republican candidate will be dragged through the mud by the MSM, this time around His Holy Zeroness has a record to run on and it ain’t pretty from soup to nuts. I am betting that whatever they come up with the slime the Republican candidate it will not out do Obamacare, a crappy Economy (no matter how much the MSM tells us it is great), Tzars, Regulations, Cap and Trade, and a complete loss of the trust of the American People.
Make that 1979.
Yeah, but on the other hand today's electorate is a lot more ill-informed than the electorates of 1944 & '48. A lot less common-sense, too.
The cabal that gave us the ride to the new world order from Bush1 to Obama also controls the media. I am hoping somehow the citizens (have to pass on the illegals) will wake up to the scam going on.

Another Obama zombie, 95% of blacks voted for Obozo, Earl is just one of them, yawn.....
Ronald Reagan in 1979 - nobody on the GOP list is anywhere near Reagan
Bill Clinton in 1991 - if they were going up against George HW Bush then they might win
Dubya in 1999 - See above and substitute Algore
Nixon in 1967 - See above and substitute Humphrey.
The US is filled with idiots who still want to believe this guy is a centrist. We don’t have a charismatic candidate (on that list) that is worth a crap. Now, if Daniels or Christie run I’ll sing a different tune.
“I agree with your assessment. I sure didn’t nominate McCain last time though. The media helped him get nominated. You watch this time, the media will be behind Romney.”
A lot of republicans did cross over and vote in dem primaries though, which inadvertently led to McCain’s nomination. Early on, these voters were just hoping to finally get rid of the Clintons. Obama got huge republican cross-over. Later, some voted for Hillary just to keep the primaries going.
Meanwhile, who was left to actually vote in the republican primaries? People who didn’t care about scoring points against Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Moderates. And these are the people who picked John McCain.
This time, hopefully, Republicans will have the sense to vote for their own candidates (since Obama is unlikely to have serious intra-party competition). Because, we need to be mindfully, many dems will be voting in our primaries this time around, and every vote will be needed to avoid them selecting the candidates they want to run against.
Well stated. I would also point out that many people were disusted with having McCain as the nominee and they just stayed home on electiion day. I held my nose and voted for Palin.
