Irreverent, but I just had an image pop unbidden into my head from reading that. A scene from Lord Of The Rings; The Two Towers. Gimli asks Aragorn to toss him at the Battle of Helms Deep..
Snort..

I agree with you, and throw Trey Gowdy and several others in as well. Unfortunately, they seem to be an anathema to the Republican establishment. There really needs to be a house cleaning at that level so as to restart the party of freedom and liberty.

Even better reason to hope she takes the Democratic ticket! Maybe Harry Reid will run! Either is unelectable...of course I said that about Obummer the first time around.

Yeah, but not too tired, nor out of shape enough to stop making those over=paid
speeches!!

The main qualification for the job shouldn't be who can sling the most mooched money and pull and mud to get it, but who is the most qualified that does NOT want the job.

Someone once told me this. You become president, become the most powerful person in the world, but you only serve 1 six year term - no re-election. At the end of your single 6 year term, you're exiled to an island with no way off, no communications with the outside world, and no power or authority. Your payment for accepting that job is a life of leisure - in exile. Or like the old Roman saying went - All Glory is Fleeting.

Wonder how many moocher power-hungry looters would want the job if that were the stakes?

Yep. That would be the best possible scenario. Don't see it happening anytime soon, though.

We need them, but we cannot allow them to set the agenda.
