Having once posted, it's either Newt or Tancredo or I don't vote in the next election, I was chided as to voting for Thompson. I heard he is from Tennessee and has not announced. Being an optimist, I hope he is the new messiah - GWB was the anti-GOP with his chief cherub, Rove.

...GWB was the anti-GOP with his chief cherub, Rove

Let's not get carried away here. GWB has been very good on taxes, he's appointed two good U.S. Supreme Court justices, he has boosted military spending and pay, he has continued and expanded ballistic missile defense, etc. GWB, despite his faults, has been far better that any Democrat who has even run for President in over forty years would have been.

The socialists and jihadis live to undermine American confidence. Don't help them.
