Who is the best choice to win in 2012? And why?
i doubt either. after Obama wrecks the country, the GOP had better not put up either of these.
Jindal is a brilliant man...and a great talker....he is the Future...Palin also can be the Future..
That redneck gal and I share a particular characteristic— defiance in the face of the effete elite.
That works with a lot of people. A lot of them voted the right way that were fixin’ to sit on their hands or go third party.
She was good for the ticket...you betcha.
> he endorsed huckabee
And Huckabee gave us McCain... I loathed Huckabee during the primaries and I want to make sure that cancer doesn’t come back.
RDS
Thompson supporter (although he was too old, underfunded and undermovitated) Bad slate... :(
Jindal is the future but only if he starts working on it now. After Reagan lost his first shot at the republican nomination he lectured the country nearly every day until the next primary. By the time of the primary people knew who he was and what he stood for.
If Jindal, Thompson, Romney or some other person we don't even think of right now will spend the next few years doing that the nomination and general election will be his. (or hers)
As an Alaskan I pray that Jindal is our next president and that Sarah fades away.
>and that Sarah fades away.
Why is that?
He’s not
Solomon later asked a question showing some ignorance of John McCain’s position on illegal immigrants. He was a strong supporter of amnesty — his campaign suffered for it in the summer of 2007 — and is still far from a hard-liner on the issue. But Solomon baselessly labels McCain a border-closer:
Solomon: I am sure you’re aware that Senator McCain wants to close the borders.
Jindal: I think that’s a good thing. I don’t think it’s healthy when you’ve got as many as 12 million people here illegally. The way that we’re doing it now is not truly offering them the American dream.
He’s a great American Patriot, too bad the media selected McCain for us.
Palin. She’s shown herself to be an awesome campaigner.
Either one would be fine with me. My choice for the ticket with be a Palin/Jindal ticket in that order.
U R reading my mind.
Democrat Lite is the worst possible position to take. If a conservative opposes a liberal program outright, saying it will be a disaster, and the program passes despite his objections, then the conservative will be in a good position to point out that he never supported the program because he knew what would happen, and he's the guy who knows what's necessary to fix things. By contrast, if a Democrat Lite works on a "compromise" which scales back a liberal program and it consequently fails, the Democrat Lite will be blamed for its failure. Stupid stupid stupid.
Imagine if McCain had voted against the bailout bill, it passed anyway, and the market tanked. Don't you think McCain would have been in a pretty good position?
Neither.
In 2012, the libs and ACORN will have had 4 years of unbridled access through the US GOV to really make it difficult to put anyone in the field that can overcome all their loading of the deck. Correcting may indeed require more than can be prudently discussed on record.
Since we have no idea what you are talking about, and since this is the day of the election when she was the Vice Presidential nominee, don’t you think that you could flesh that out a little more for us?
Neither, and I explained why on the other 2012 thread.
If the GOP is going to succeed, it has to go back to being a party of principles, not personalities. First things first: what solid principles does the GOP stand for? The candidate follows from that — not the other way around.
