Behind McCain, don’t forget that...
That’s gonna leave a mark...
LOL!
If you believe that Pa or NH are “battleground states” that can be won by any GOP candidate, then there is no reason to debate this any further.
None at all.
Does Hillary plan to bring back the furniture and silverware, or would she steal some more?
Did they ever shoot that burned out rummy’s ashes out of a cannon?
We shall consider them in our hearts as words from the gods themselves...
CAREFUL NAIVE!
YOU DARE CHALLENGE THE MIGHTY PAULINATI!
You may bring down the curse of a thousand posts...
Ever flirt with the thought of Thompson/Rudy?
Don’t know how the primaries will play out, or who would accept what, but it might be a good combination.
And I wouldn’t feel bad pulling that lever.
“Did they ever shoot that burned out rummy’s ashes out of a cannon?”
An excellent description. Back in thr late ‘60s, early ‘70s, I thought he was so cool.
I grew up; he didn’t.
“His ashes were fired from a 150 ft tower topped by a red fist with two thumbs - the symbol of Thompson’s free-wheeling, first-person gonzo journalism.
Johnny Depp, who played Thompson in the film of his book Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, paid for the cannon.”
believe me, it will be Giuliani.
Yep.
Hey, thanks!
>An excellent description. Back in the late ‘60s, early ‘70s, I thought he was so cool.
So did I. So did I.
I even bought his book “Hell’s Angels” back in the late 60s when I was in HS.
I figured that it was alcohol and pills/drugs that contributed to his demise. A shame.
Here we go again. “If a conservative runs as a conservative, he will win”. ...Rush Limbaugh
What the hell do we gain by running a liberal against a liberal?
“The longest journey begins with a single step.” Ron Paul has taken a big first step as he has moved off the bottom of the polls and is getting close to challenging Romney. I think his momentum will continue to build and he will crack 10% by the end of Oct.
I thought it was interesting that Ron Paul’s support was highest in the youngest age group and decreased as it went to the older age brackets. Thompson was just the opposite. A possible explanation for this is that as the groups get older, they tend to get their news from the MSM. Another explanation could be that the younger generations realize that if we continue to follow the politics of the past, they will be stuck with the bill.
You are trying to promote a candidate that Jim Robinson doesn't approve of and everyone sees that.
There is only ONE candidate in this race that can old our coalition together AND appeal to open-minded Democrats. (That's just one example...there are more and will be a LOT more following.) And that main ain't Rudy, no matter how you slice it. Putting all the social issue stuff aside, Rudy is the only candidate on our side that is absolutely GUARANTEED to lose. He will be ripped to shreds, swift-boated, and beaten within an inch of his life in the general. The '9/11 firefighters for truth' are right around the corner to be trotted out after the election. Anyone who doesn't see the kind of damage that will do to a candidate who's only claim to fame is 9/11, either isn't paying attention or isn't being honest.
If you can't take off the Hillary-fear-goggles, stop your knee from jerking, and see the landscape for what it holds, I can't help you, but you need to stop trying to convince people against the only candidate that can hold our coalition together.
And for your information, Fred Thompson will be the most formidable candidate we have run since Reagan. If there is any Republican candidate that can win Ohio and by a decisive margin, it's Fred Thompson. No matter who they elected in 2006.
A possible explanation for this is that as the groups get older, they tend to get their news from the MSM
Can’t agree. I am a prime example as are every other over 40 Freeper and thats a bunch.
Rather its all of the stoners and teenagers who don’t really know anything but they do know how to repeat things that are told to them, aka, drinking the kool aid.
Who is backing Obama?
Of course there are a hell of a lot of my generation that are unthinkable liberal trash, as well.
However, that to the side, when RP does NOT break into double digits in October, will you then support Fred, or will you stay on the island of lost dreams? :)
>Rudy is the only candidate on our side that is absolutely GUARANTEED to lose.
Damn straight. It seems like so many are drinking the MSM swill/kool aid again about rudy being the chosen son that they aren’t seeing the disaster that awaits us.
Rudy will lose in a landslide. - He cannot even deliver his own state from the grip of a Socialist carpetbagger from the South.
And that is a pathetic commentary on the political divide in this country today.
My mistake. I keep eliminating McLame because I just can’t conceive of him as a serious candidate.
They are so many states in play in 2008. For me Ohio is the most important. But, revisting the results of 2008, I didn’t realize Pennsylvania was a s close as it was. New Hampshire was extermely close. So the election certainly is winnable.
If our side gets it head out of its butt and starts taking on the issues forcefully. I looked at the rasmussen poll on Hillary care this morning. the internals provide some positive news. Most people do not want government run health care. Thompson could be in good position on this. Trial lawyers and frivilous lawsuits are a major reason for high health care costs. Being a former trial lawyer himself, Thompson could stand up and apologize for his past sins and vow to do what is best for the nation. He could promise to take on the trial lawyers so that health care is affordable to all Americans.
Yeah, the whole Metrosexual Flip-Flopper from Massachusetts thing worked out really well in 2004. Good luck with that.
