Gowdy for President!
Sessions for President!
Cruz for President!
Such bench depth! The primary ‘16 will be over loaded with heft and skill, competency, intellect and proven service to the public interest.
What does a voter do with all that kind of quality?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
I ADORE THIS MAN!!! I SO WANT him to be involved in a high position in the new conservative administration after the 2016 Elections!!!

While I admire Gowdy, I’m disgusted with Republicans. You are much more optimistic than I am. I expect Hillary, or more likely, Liz Warren to win in 2016. The msm is evil, and powerful.
I really, really like this guy.
Well my hope is that the CONSERVATIVE movement will grow after this next election. I hope! I hope! and PRAY!
Benghazi ping.
Let Republicanprofessor know if you want on or off this ping list.
I like Gowdy’s suspense tactic: drip, drip, drip - - - - .
