You’re not much of a conservative.
Here we go again...
You see, CR, if you don’t agree with Petronski, you’re aren’t a conservative.
I am not a social conservative. I am a “cut my taxes and protect my country” conservative. I’d be OK with anyone besides McCain or Huckabee getting the nomination. McCain lost my vote when he was against the Bush tax cuts. Huckabee is not as hard on islamic extremism as I’d like a president to be. And the FairTax plan that he supports is a croc of BS. I’m more of a flat tax person. Keep the current structure and get rid of the estate tax, reduce the income taxes lowering the marginal rates, eliminate the capital gains tax, then reduce government services and entitlements.
So that leaves Mitt, Rudy, and Fred. Mitt is going to have some real problems winning over independents and Reagan democrats if he can’t even win some of these early contests that he poured millions into.
So that leaves Fred and Rudy. Fred does not have the personality appeal needed to win over the country in the election. Rudy CAN win against the democrat while pulling in some independents and preventing a bloomberg 3rd party intervention.
