People like you would be poo poing Ronald Reagan in 1980 saying hes unelectable, yet he won in 2 landslides in 1980 and 1984. People like you would have frowned upon the contract with america saying the public at large wasn't ready for it, yet we won the house for the first time.


LOL, I was one of Reagan's biggest supporters and one of the biggest boosters for the Contract with America. And trust me, Allen is no Reagan and no Gingrich. If Reagan was the great communicator, Allen is the great fumbler. So with every silly assumption you and the Freedom person make about me you just like more and more ridiculous.

And you completly misunderstood my post which doesn't surprise me. I am saying not saying Americans won't vote for a conservative. I am saying just because Allen appeals to you merely for being a conservative does not mean that is all Americans need to be impressed by a candidate, especially in a post 9-11 world where there is no clamor, UNFORTUNATELY, for a big roll back of govt. and that they'll not automatically vote for a guy who stumbles in the debates and seems ineffectual against Democratic onslaughts and who is no one they know and who seems like a deer in the headlights against tough questions and attacks. Just because Allen appeals to you does not mean he'll appeal to swing and independent voters, the voters among whom elections are won. We can run a conservative candidate, I would like one myself, but he's got to be one who can forcefully and compellingly ennuciate the conservative message and Allen isn't it. Just saying "Reagan" alot is not going to be as impressive to general election voters as it is to you.

People are always ready to roll back government and poll after poll shows people think government has grown too big. Only a liberal republican would argue that we can't roll back government now.
