Popcorn Bump...
Bingo. Left is left no matter the letter behind the name.
I'd hate a Hillary presidency in every other way, but in this one very-important-to-me issue, Hillary would be (gasp) better.
Truth. We seem to have a choice between a tub of sh*t and a swimming pool of sh*t.
All that differs is the quantity.
Very well. I think I understand your position completely. You'll know what you want when you see it, and you ain't seen it in a while.
I think the Dems understand it and see it as a wonderful oppty to divide and conquer.
I think the GOP recognizes that there is nothing they can do to recover your vote either.
So everyone takes a step left. Wonderful.
BTW, I note that you say "they need to find." Is that how it works in your mind?
Good article. It perfectly captures my view.
We'd be better off with lefty Hillary, because then there would be some vigilance and defense from the right. Rudy would be like boiling the frog so gradually, he never notices to jump out of the pot.
Yes, we'd be better off with Hillary. (I'll vote 3rd party, however.)
It should be obvious by now, the political world doesn't produce a Washington, Lincoln or Reagan for the benefit of social conservatives every 4 years. So you try to do the best you can with the choices presented that do the least amount of damage to the country.
Sometimes a great leader emerges, and the country benefits immensely - but the great leaders usually emerge in times of great conflict. As of today, Giuliani is the only candidate out there with that sense of leadership.
I think the GOP recognizes that there is nothing they can do to recover your vote either.If so, they haven't paid attention. Good, solid conservatives often win. East coast liberals pretending often lose. See the Club for Growth and their track record.
I was at a relative's Birthday Party today-there were probably fifty or sixty family members there spanning three generations. When the talk finally got around to "talking about the candidates for President 08", the Democrats & Republicans seemed to agree on one thing-there were serious flaws in both parties annointed frontrunners.
That means President Hillary and that is why Rudy should not get the nomination.
Rudy has a track record. So does Hillary. They look an awful lot alike. Spiff has a chart.
Double plus bingo!
It wouldn't surprise me coming from a dim, but, coming from a republican is what can't be swallowed.
This thread makes it quite clear that "we" (1) do not believe in a common set of principles, and (2) some don't even think "Hillary" is anything more than a scare tactic of the not-quite-really-conservatives.
Sooo.....who is the candidate that satisfies you?
Sooo.....who is the candidate that satisfies you?
Scary!!
Put anyone with an "R" in the presidency. We just wanna win.
Life (real world) imitating art (reality tv, sports, etc.)
Rah! Rah! Sis! Boom! Bah!
What you're seeing is a repeat of history, i.e. the disintegration and demise of the Whig Party.
I believe that's how some on here view it. That's indeed scary.
Rah! Rah! Sis! Boom! Bah!
Let me go get my little girls pom poms and I'll join you, however, I'll leave it to you to do the jumping up and down. :-)
Mike, Aren't you listening to what they are saying?
There really is a group of people that at the same time admire Thatcher and Reagan, that wish abortion were illegal, and yet, think that Hillary is either a potemkin candidate created by country club Republicans to scare us into voting GOP-no-matter-what, and thus they don't worry about her, -or- if she is for real, and she is elected, then they will be on the high ground of having taught the country a lesson.
These are people that have decided that if Hillary and Rudy are social liberals, then their other stances on WOT, military funding, taxes, fairness doctrine, nationailed healthcare, nationalized oil industires, EPA regulation, UN-global-test-mandates, UNICEF control of child abuse laws....etc... are totally meaningless.
This is the landscape a candidate must operate under these days.
The Dems couldn't ask for a more wonderful oppourtunity, I think.
Sooo.....who is the candidate that satisfies you?
