let's have some debates, let's have the primaries, let's look at the polls - just the "normal" stuff any political apparatus engages in.
what bothers me about these threads - is the desire to exclude McCain and Rudy, absent that political process and the votes which follow. these guys are the two front runners in every poll (of republicans), yet alot of people just want to draw a line through their name and say "NO".
I cannot believe what I am seeing. They have made themselves judge and jury who should be a Republican and it is not their job. Bet most of us have been voting longer then the ones telling us to leave and working in more campaigns.
I agree with everything you have to say!
In the old days that would be called a "clue." These days, however, "obtuse" is the operational stance.
