(That mustache alone...)
Could you imagine the debates? Would love to see it.
He’s great, but he can’t win. Too short.
Besides, we’ll need him as Secretary of State in a Palin or Perry administration.
I've been waiting for this for a long time. He's as hated by the libtards as Palin is.
I can just see him slapping that illegal alien around in a debate. Myth Romnesty would be a pussycat with Nobambi.
This would be an immense answer to a prayer.
He exposed himself as a complete fraud when he came out as a strong public cheerleader for the Clinton Administration's military campaign against Serbia in the late 1990s. If the guy is going to run on a national security platform, I'd like to know exactly what kind of U.S. national security interests were at stake in Kosovo -- or even Iraq, for that matter.
"War on Terror," my @ss.
Overqualified??
How do you figure that? Unelectible? I’m not so sure that tea-party conservatives wouldn’t be thrilled (as I am) with the idea of a very strong, opinionated (rightly) MAN, running for President, rather that the mamby pamby, cater to the center, please everyone cattle call we seem to have today.
I’m just saying, he’s a breath of fresh air, and he speaks the truth instead of the left’s lies, and he’s NOT AFRAID.
(Remember: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!”)
Big Government Globalist?? How do you figure.
Did you read his article I posted. Read it, and then decide what you think.
John Bolton as VP or President... my God. Pirates in Somalia would start looking for a building with windows high enough to jump out of. Vladmir Putin would tell people he's leaving to go hit the gym and not go back to his office. The Chinese would take the phone off the hook and not answer the doorbell.
:)
But I think he’s serious....
I don’t think he has a chance, but there is no downside to him entering the race. I like the guy.
He’s as unlikely a winner as could be but I want him to run for a while just so he can get these issues out there.
He looks like a walrus and his area of strength is foreign policy which almost certainly won't be the main focus of the 2012 election.
He'd be a great SoS though.
John Bolton is a Beltway hack who has spent most of his career working for various think tanks and other organizations that are part of the nation's last remaining dominant "industrial sector" (Big Government). He's basically a paid shill for whatever special interests employ him.
I wonder who was paying his bills when he signed these open letters:
9/11/98 Letter to Bill Clinton
Mr. President, Milosevic is the Problem
We don't need an @sshole like this in the White House.
Bolton is just fine with homosexual pretend “marriage.”
No thanks.
Why do you think he couldn’t win?
We need someone with his moxie and caliber. He has the fire in his belly! American conservatives still do not have a candidate with this yet. We’re still looking for someone from Texas to get talked into a presidential run.
Obama is a grand failure, but look how he hoodwinked the American people the first time. He will do it again, unless someone with the Ba!!S comes along to refute his smooth lies. We conservatives should win the presidential election in a LANDSLIDE based upon what has happened here, but it is going to take someone very strong and forceful, as is Obama, to excite the electorate. I don’t see anyone in the current field with those qualities.
John Bolton could be this. I hope he runs, and I hope he gets in soon...
That’s true, he was a signer on these diplomatic documents 15 years ago. We didn’t know back then what we know today about many things. Hindsight is 20.20,
I’m looking at what he’s saying now.
Times have changed, and so do people. I like what he’s saying now.
And know this, whoever it is that you like and are supporting, are not perfect in all their decisions, I’m sure you’ve made some and so have I, but it doesn’t necessarily make them, as you called John Bolton, an a$$hole. That’s pretty harsh...
He looks more like he'll eat that mustache for breakfast (or like half his breakfast ends up in the mustache).
To date, in my view, no Republican candidate has persuasively argued that our economic recovery and long-term prosperity are completely intertwined with a strong national security posture. If no one else is prepared to make that case, I will.
I'd count on at least one of the current candidates being able to do a better job than Bolton ever could. It would be a pretty weak field indeed if John Bolton is actually better than all the other candidates.
