A book is a great idea - that would kick off the campaign - something about what Tony likes about our country
how he sees our future etc.
Ideologically, he's actually more Libertarian than Conservative, which, if one belongs to the FR 700 Club, automatically disqualifies him from a city council spot.
Still, if his family and his health support it, call me a "Snowflake".
You used initials, standing for a sentence that would have gotten you at least a warning and the post deleted, had you written it all out, as a reply to a harmless post of mine and now, you are carrying this on to an extreme.
I'll see if I can get the go ahead from Tony's doctor and family
Tony snow has never run for an elected office. He should not attempt to do, starting at the top! That is considered very bad bad form and I doubt that he even wants to do so.
And as you said, he is doing yeoman's work, where he is.
All of what you say, my FRiend, about Ollie is probably 100% true.
> They would tear him apart...
But he is, after all, a decorated wartime US Marine! A Vietnam Vet for pete's sakes. I doubt he is sufficiently frail to be easily "torn apart" by the leftist MSM. They aren't as tough as the VC, nor as deadly, nor as smart.
If they dared go after Ollie they would find out -- to their cost -- that America has a soft spot for their decorated heroes of the Armed Forces: Marines especially. The Marines are a US Institution nearly as old as Congress itself. The Bad Guys found *that* out during Iran-Contra.
And Ollie is pretty tough, even amongst Marines.
No matter how fat-and-important the politician, nothing -- absolutely nothing -- replaces a chest-full of medals earned in Service for his Country and worn on a Marine uniform by a guy with a back straight as a ram-rod and a voice that is both measured, articulate, and sincere.
Ollie won Iran-Contra on that basis alone. A lesser man would have failed.
But fair enough, maybe not the Lt-Col this time. What about drafting Gen Hal Moore? Would he go? He'd make a great President, surely?
Washington? Adams?
Sure, that's reductio ad absurdum, but what is/should there be an "American Political Class"?
On this here Rudy thread, I say NO.
Is this amusing
Hey, I don't like fightimg.

Really
Tony Snow would be the best Republican candidate
LOL
I am really tired of these daily Giuliani threads. Geez....lets see who else is out there.
> Is this amusing
An odd question.
No, it's not nearly so "amusing" as watching the decline as Western Civilization as we know it with the self-inflicted loss of the War-on-Terror by your next Democrat President.
I am dead serious: the Right needs to get a strong candidate for POTUS. It doesn't have one. Certainly not a credible wartime President (tho' McCain would make as good a fist of it as he could, under the circumstances).
The Right is poised to LOSE due to navel-gazing. And the rest of the world (those of us watching anyway) wait in horrified stupor.
Withdrawal from the WOT will be the inevitable result of a Left win. And it will be the beginning of the decline and fall of Civilization as we know it.
Militant Islam won't stop hitting the West just because we decide it's ok to stop fighting them. They will follow the old Naval doctrine: "never give a fallen enemy respite."
Amusing? About as amusing as a Train Wreck. Spectacular to watch, but hardly amusing.
[Politically astute Republicans, Reagan Democrats and many Democratic liberals vote Republican fracturing the Democratic left and negating the loss of self described "Moral" Republicans]---->
[Feminazis, libertine lechers and "Moral" Republicans are worried as new President promises to appoint "Scalia" strict constructionists to the bench thus raising the possibility that voters in the several States will determine controversial social issues; a situation in which no special interest group will get all of what they want]
Barry white? Chris Isakks? C'mon baby dolly. lets's shake it.
Free lemionade awaits~!
WHY NOT Tony Snow????????
Hiya sweets. What is it that makes people come out attacking you? You are such a great guy with a fantastic sense of humor.
I know some people are posting in jest...but some just can't seem to get along.
At any rate, I'm here if you need a dance song.
