Given what I see in the Republican Party today the pickings are very slim. Tom Tancredo springs to mind but he is light on experience...not that Bush was all that well qualified before he took office either but he did have the all important connections. Oh and as for WHY, I see uncontrolled immigration as being America's greatest long-term threat. Tom has led the charge for sanity in our immigration policies and has proven his mettle in some very tough battles with this WH over this. On that alone he gets my vote.
You card carrying RNC types just can't quite grasp that our reckless immigration policies are putting in jeopardy much of the things we conservatives cherish...gun rights, low taxes, small government. It's straightforward math. I would have thought that the results of the last few elections would have driven home some realities by now.
So you are another one with all the problems and no solutions. I guess it is really fun just to snipe from the cheap seats. BTW the terms "Bushbot", "Bush loyaltast", "Card carrying RNC types" epithets bounce right off my hard head.
