I'm sick and tired of choosing between two bowls of crap for breakfast, if ya know what I mean.
Rand Paul/Gary Johnson would be a ticket I could vote on without much trauma to my conscience. Beyond that, I must confess that I am rather skeptical of most of the other choices.
Me? If it's a novelty you want, elect someone who is also qualified, skilled, AND was NSA during a nasty part if history - Condi Rice. Otherwise, people need to get their collective brains out of the clouds of sparkle-rainbow fantasy island and elect someone who will make a DIFFERENCE rather thal be kitschy.
For me? That'd be Rand. All business, I think he COULD reach across the aisle *and* be tough when it's in the USA's best interest, and not a wishy-washy pushover or a Self-entitled leader-for-life wannabe.
There are lots of people who don't like him for lots of reasons that have nothing to do with the office. If anybody has anything they can contribute to that list that is not related to:
his religion
his family
his wealth
his haircut
his race/sex/party
I'd like to hear it.
These are the usual things he's attacked on, none of which have a thing to do with being president. In the three debates he had with BO there was no question that he wiped the floor with BO in the first and second and the third was at best a tie because of the "Moderator" interfering on behalf of BO. Everything she interjected was proved to be erroneous. Instead of acting as a moderator it was clear she was protecting "her man".
Mitt has already said he is not going to run and I expect that he won't, but I can assure you that he had been president for the past year, the economy would not be on the verge of taking a terminal nosedive that will make 08 look like a one day correction.
He's another big-government Republican establishment politician.
Hillary - God help us ALL
Paul Rand - seems too much like his crazy Pappy. Sorry, you do need some taxes, otherwise how do you pay for a Military unless you intend not to have one.
Gov Walker, WI - don't like the looks of him, sorry.
Chris Christie - uh no, this country will not elect an overweight person, heart attack waiting to happen.
Marco Rubio - nice looking but messed up with his gang of 8 and immigration.
Bobby Jindal - maybe.
Doesn't seem like We The People have much of a choice and the American voters are just dumb enough to keep putting Marxist/socialist people like Obama/Hillary into office.
I don't care as long as it not a conservative (a rephrasing of the statement)
Don't want a moderate
With mind sets like those who ever the Dem's nominate will win.
Consider this, just for the hell of it -- How about Jeb Bush?
Why must we compromise to protect them from themselves?
"I am not going to say the words that make me the murderer. It's your policies that killed the John Galt Line; it's your interference that's killing this railroad. YOU'RE the assassins."
Trying to save Taggart Transcontinental, Dagny compromised and compromised with the looters, until the railroad was destroyed anyway.
The way to beat the looters is to pull a Hank Rearden: "I will not sell any metal to the State Science Institute; at any time, at any price, for any purpose whatsoever."
Try pouring a ton of steel without rigid principles.
Hooray, the GOP loses again!
Now if only the Democrats can lose, too, then the people would win.
God we really need a third, fourth, or fifth party to choose from.
The appropriate RNC choices should be Rand Paul, Allan West, Dr. Ben Carson, Alan Keyes, Mike Lee or perhaps Ted Cruz.
And no, I do not dislike or have anything against Mormons.
That may not be a popular position to state here, but I kid you not, if the RP didn't want to keep throwing the election deliberately to the commun, er, Democrats, tey have a whole BUNCH of young, brilliant, and personable people to put up. And they wouldn't keep putting the same 12 year old hash on our plate and telling us we have to eat it.
I mentioned Condi Rice before... IF somehow one could get her to run again, I would LOVE to see her as Veep with Rand as the CiC. That has the makings of a dream team...
Rand/Rice would be fantastic, though Rice strikes me as a Party girl - brilliant just the same. Rand/Carson? Yeah, that would suit me just fine.
Downside is I think she got burned out (or just burned) along with the whole GWB cabinet members (not to mention W himself)... it would be an almost impossible task to get her (or any of that group) to set foot inside the beltway again.
Rand/Carson - that even SOUNDS presidential. And none of the old school RP baggage... Got my vote.
Governor Romney is an honorable man with insight into ho to make the country more efficient and effective in creating jobs and restoring the economy. That said, there is absolutely no way he will ever win the Presidentcy. The MSM will complete the job of his distructin if he runs again and maybe even if he doesn't.
He and others like him represent the thing they and the progressives fear most: a truly competent man who knows what needs to be done and is capable of actually doing it, not just offering "Hope and Change".
He has some big government ideas.
As long as the frontrunner isn't a conservative... don't care.
He's so lightweight. I'd be delighted to see
West/Carson in any order!!!
btw-I cannot believe you haven't posted the recent Maine decision
