... ask a man on the street and more than likely he’ll give you another reason for anything that’s ever happened to America, the profound and analytical retort of “it’s all Bush’s fault.” The problem is that he means it. A bigger problem is that we let this happen.
Why is this? The question does not even need to be asked. The obvious answer is the lack of able PR coming from our side.
While President Bush has been, contrary to conventional opinion (opinion that will change within months of his departure from office), an able leader on defense and on many economic issues, he has never been allowed to communicate the true reasons for his decisions or to defend himself from over the top attacks. His handlers have been cautious, and cautiousness, while having a rightful and important place, does not carry the day.

I’ll take Jindal Palin Hunter or JEB please. Or any combination thereof.
>>>we have a serious problem that needs to be examined.<<<<
Most people want to purge “the RINOs”, whom I contend are a minimal though bothersome problem.
The real problem is the substantial pollution of the conservative philosophy with social dicta and social goals that are inimical to our core principles.
Nope...he seems like a fine guy but, I thnk I’ll pass.
Bambi made his in roads because mccain was bambi light,and much better spoken,not to mention younger and more hip. Millions of conservatives stayed home. At least the polls said so.
He was also instrumental in getting McInsane chosen for us as our nominee. Milk-toast spineless weasle and NOTHING MORE!!!
We need a fresh start. The most well known candidate we even need to consider is Palin, then we move to names few have heard of.
The old guard needs to move on, time for the younger crowd who grew up politically under Reagan....
‘Christian’ socialism. All the stupidity of socialism with a veneer of Christianity.
If you got mad when you were called a racist for opposing allowing anybody who could make it over the border a U.S. citizen, how about when Huckabee called you un-Christian for opposing social(ist) benefits for illegal aliens?

Gov. Mike Huckabee Thursday denounced a bill by Sen. Jim Holt that would deny state benefits to illegal immigrants as un-Christian, un-American, irresponsible and anti-life.
“I don't understand how a practicing Christian can turn his back on a child from this or any other state,” Huckabee said.
And he was pro-choice in an earlier life . . . meaning that McCain should win by default, but I'll vote for Obama anyway because I like his hair. /sarc
Yup huckabee isn’t a fiscal conservative. He’s better off working for FOX at least he can’t do much damage there...
nyet
Which brings us to the conclusion that the "social" conservative vote doesn't mean squat.
Mike Huckabee, for Court Jester maybe...
Huckaphony is a proven loser. We dont need retreads in 2012, we had enough losers in 2008.
NO, NO, NO!!! We don’t want any candidates that ran in the primary of 2008 — we want new candidates. Most of us didn’t like what we saw and don’t want a rerun!
Let’s get some new blood like Sarah Palin, Bobby Jindel, Mark Sanford, Tim Pawlenty and others to run.
NO McCain, Thompson, Giuliani, Huckabee, or Romney — we need new and fresh ideas that can energize Conservatives.
In a word: NO!
I have a few lefty acquaintances who told me in the days before the election that they believed absolutely that Romney lost primarily because the lunatic fringe of the Republican Party absolutely wouldn’t vote for a Mormon. I told them I really didn’t think that was the case, that his prior pro-abort stance and general vacuousness did him in more than anything. Having had a week or so to think about it and remembering some of the stuff that was posted here, I now think there may be something to it.
Or rather: while Huck obviously would be better than Obama, I would strongly prefer another Republican choice.

There, fixed it.
