Fred definitely won the debate tonight. Let the FRED revolution begin!!
Once we have a nominee, I will certainly support that nominee if it is Fred, Mitt, or Rudy.
I would have a very hard time voting for Huckabee; I think he would be the worst possible nominee because of the harm he’d do to conservatism. My overarching political worldview is that almost all politics in America and the West boils down to socialism versus freedom and the Huckster is fundamentally a socialist and a statist.
I would probably vote for McCain, though I’d be miserable doing so since he is so wrong on so much (amnesty, taxes, Gitmo, “global warming”, etc.) and he is fundamentally unstable and untrustworthy.
And Jim, respectfully, while I agree with every bit of your criticism and dislike for the gun-grabbing, cross-dressing, gay-loving, pro-abortion, pro-amnesty, adulterous crook from Gotham, I have a different view regarding how America would fare under a Giuliani presidency. I think he would likely appoint mostly good judges, and when it comes to defending the sanctity of life and our God-given right to self-defense this is what counts the most. I think he’d be good on taxes, tough on Islamists, and give our military the latitude and respect they need to do their job. I will certainly vote for him if he is the Republican nominee and my present estimation is that I would prefer him to Romney.
The rest of our guys are running way to left for my taste, save Romney who is a mixed bag.
(my secret hope is a brokered convention, if only for the history and excitement of it all,lol)
Well, he certainly talks the talk now, but did he walk the walk then? I can’t find anything supporting Romney enforcing immigration laws while he was governor. In fact, I see there were and are several sanctuary cities in Massachusetts. True, he made a head fake right at the end of his term, but it went nowhere. He’s also on record saying good things about McCain-Kennedy, though he denied it being amnesty. Maybe you can point out where Romney was an anti-illegal immigration crusader as governor?
Man it is a freaking sad day in our nation’s history when only two out of seven canidates on the REPUBLICAN side of this shindig need to be avoided and written out.
We’ll do the best we can do, and what I saw someone said earlier:
Hope that Fred or Duncan get the nominee, and, regardless, vote against John Fraudwards, Obamalamanutjob, and Billary
I also feel like these questions are being asked too late! This situation should of been heavily discussed last year and long before now!
We've been discussing this situation here on FR since 11/2004. The left has been busy too. They took George Allen out. Ditto Rick Santorum. I can't think of a prominent conservative who would make a great nominee who is not in the race. Can you?

Sarah Palin? Mark Sanford? Tom McClintock? Herman Cain? J.C. Watts? Janice Rogers Brown? All would also make for some decent possible choices for V.P. on the GOP side.

If you believe that, then stop posting on this forum for a moment and spend your time writing a check to the GOP.
The GOP can have pesos.........until they show me they represent America and American interests.
YOUR country? We are all a part of this country and we should pray for OUR country, not just yours. I know a few soldiers that could enlighten you, but I doubt you'd listen.
“Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which he himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else.”
— Theodore Roosevelt, Republican President
I don't agree with some of his foreign policy views, like the fact that he doesn't recognize Islam for the evil it is and wanting to pull the rug out from under our troops. But on some of his other views, he's right. We don't need to be giving 3rd-world countries all of this foreign aid and we don't need to intervene in their affairs. Look what Bush is doing to Israel today, for crying out loud.
You don't agree with SOME of his foreign policy views? Hell, he's the sort of President that will destroy this country with his namby-pamby foreign policy vies. Oh, but you like him for his other views? Those views don't mean a tinker's dam if we do not stand strong against our enemies and support our troops. I can't even believe someone like you is on a forum such as this. Amazing.
good one....
This coming from a babe of all of 2 months on the forum, lol.
Hillary and Obama thank you for your support.
The Rats with lipstick on the R ticket (a/k/a Rinos who are flushing America down the toilet) are thanking the likes of you for the help.
