Three weeks before the Iowa caucuses, Republicans voters across the country appear uninspired by their field of presidential candidates, . . ..
My sentiments exactly.
Is there something we can do to stop this election?

Can we get Ted Poe up and running in time?
I could vote a Poe/Patrick ticket twice and after eight years follow it up with a Patrick/Bettencourt ticket followed by a Bettencourt/Hendee ticket. That would fill it out for the next quarter century.
I know Newt said he wouldn’t run if Fred joined in, but does that still apply? Any chance of Newt jumping in at the last minute?
Hell, we can’t even find a solid conservative to run in CD 22, much less for President. I still like Fred simply because he’s so uninspiring.
Now that’s funny.
Check out this bit of news:
Senator Ted “Bridge to Nowhere” Stevens and Alaska’s only congressman, Don Young, are trailing behind their Democratic challengers. Linda Murkowski, the other senator, is not up for re-election, but her popularity is no better. The Republicans in Alaska are tired of being embarassed by two of the biggest pork kings in DC.

Admittedly the Republican candidates are less than inspiring. Our saving grace right now is the leading liberal candidates are not any better and are in fact scary to any real conservative.
#1 and pray tell me what Patrick has accomplished in the state senate?
Here’s a link to a .pdf file with the details and trends.
What do you want in a president? Do you want someone who is conservative? Do you want someone who has the gift of gab, and can be charming? Do you want someone who is more liberal than conservative? There is no perfect candidate. If you don’t like one because of something, or another because of another thing, there are still good candidates who are not glib, stage coached, and reliable. Remember every president has a speech writer. I don’t give a hoot about charm. I want conservative judges appointed. I want the constitution upheld and the war supported. Go Duncan Hunter.
Let me not forget my most main criteria. Tough on immigration.
Everyone on KSEV talks about getting the right candidate during the primary and not busting your candidate during the general election (where it is not the time to talk about choosing the lesser of 2 evils). It does seem now that all we do is have 2 levels of choosing the lesser of 2 evils. Pick the best of the worst in your primary and then gripe about both candidates and choose the best of the worst in the general election. The cream rises to the top but the field we have to vote in is more like sifting from the bottom and get what is left.
I want someone that gets pissed and throws chairs in a debate. I want someone that will walk over to one of the other candidates and Cold Cock them!
I want someone Stand at the mic at the UN and shout to our enemies “You tell them I’m coming and Hell’s coming with me. Hell is coming with me!”
Is that too much to ask?

No, if you are a Venezuelan.
#12 John Bolton already got resigned.

yeah.. there’s always hope for 2012
you guys want a party full of Reagan’s and Gingrich’s, well that’s not going to happen unless all the rock solid conservatives contribute time and money to get true conservatives elected.
as long as the candidates are only getting their family and a handful of hardcores to help them get elected in state races, national candidates have no reason to improve and only need to pander to the biggest fundraisers.
You can thank Delusional Dunce Bushanadez for the current state of the repubbies and the lack of enthusiasm.
After 7 years of an unprecedented invasion from Mexico and his constant worship at the altar of globalism, is it any wonder? He is the biggest Judas Iscariot to ever occupy the White House.
Domino effect…No one believes the current crop of Repub Saps(Hunter and Tancredo excluded) because Patron Bushnandez took everyone to the cleaners.
Thanks to him, Hillary has a great chance of being president and ole Ditzy will probably keep doing his best to see that it happens.
Yet he keeps smiling. He feels no pain. Personally I believe he’s 100% certifiable.
/Over and Out.

My personal feeling is that if Hillary wins the White House, GW won’t shed any tears. He operates in a stratum we mere mortals can never hope to reach, though I’m sure he pities us for it. He hears all, sees all and knows all that is best for each one of us. Just like a Democrat.
19.
Oh, yeah. He looks into our eyes and seeks our souls.
“He looks into our eyes and seeks our souls.”
Unlike Hillary who looks into our eyes and steals our souls.
Or Edwards who looks into our eyes and channels our souls.
Or Obama who’s a soul-man!
Your redneck is showing , Faster.
I’m afraid that our candidates are about as pathetic as the comments on this page.
So what’s wrong with Mitt Romney?
The National Review says the following about Mitt Romney:
“Romney is an intelligent, articulate, and accomplished former businessman and governor. At a time when voters yearn for competence
and have soured on Washington because too often the Bush administration has not demonstrated it, Romney offers proven executive skill. He has demonstrated it in everything he has done in his professional life, and his tightly organized, disciplined campaign is no exception. He himself has shown impressive focus and energy.”

I still think it’s early yet. I also think that anybody can beat HELLary because when it gets down to real campaigning between the two major parties, HELLary can’t hide and wait until she gets to real debate. HELLary’s negatives are something that can’t be overcome.
Every candidate, major or minor, has said something to give me serious pause, at least once; often many times. Not all have given me reason to support them. Some are clearly out of their league: Kucinich, Hunter, Tancredo, Gravel. Others are morally repugnant: Clinton, Giuliani, and now Romney (after his religion speech). Huckabee is trying to sneak in that door, we’ll see if he makes it; I dislike evangelistic preachers but still find him appealing. Obama is, suprisingly given his rep, an intellectual lightweight. Biden is a bit of a blowhard, but still better than most of the Dems. Richardson appears to be frontrunner for Vice President, especially under Hillabeans. McCain is by far the most decent of all the candidates, a true hero, but has made some bad policy missteps. Which is preferable, excellent political judgement, or excellent moral judgement? Answer that question and you tell us what you think of Arizona John.
OK, here’s the Idea of the Week for the POTUS debates: time for interleague play! Let’s have a debate with the top four Dems and the top four Reps, all together on the same stage, answering the same questions and asking them of each other. Let’s do it the week before Iowa. Wouldn’t it be grand?
McCain is by far the most decent of all the candidates, a true hero
What are you, McCain’s cabana boy? Get a grip, McCain was THE leading Republican advocate of the crammit-down-our-throat-we-must-give-amnesty-to-illegals group of pols lecturing us on how we must accept amnesty for illegal aliens. He co-sponsored legislation to that effect while smearing anyone who disagreed with him. Seriously, is there any other Repub candidate with a more shameful record on illegal immigration than McCain? And don’t forget the disaster known as “McCain-Feingold”
Finally, can we have some acknowledement that McCain did in fact shamefully whine like a little bitch when GWB kicked his ass in the 2000 primaries. I’m sorry, but that was not Presidential behavior on his part, at all.. it was a sorry spectacle
Having said that, if it comes down to it, I’ll hold my nose and vote for him over any of the lowlifes in the Dem field. Any no-vote or independent vote on the conservative/libertarian side = a vote for Hillary/Obama. No doubt about that. Call me unprincipled or whatever, but fact is, the worst Repub candidate (with the exception of Ron Paul) is far better than the best of what the Dems are offering.. in this race at least.
#29 - Let’s not forget about the gang of 14 which blew away several conservative judges for his own political expedience. McSwine is low life and not trustworthy. Those damn Dims can at least be anticipated as to what they will do. John Mc is a loose cannon without principle and is liable to do anything. No can go for him, no matter what.
I can’t vote for a pretender like Rudy, a non-Christian like Mitt, a leftist like McCain, a nut case like Ron Paul, and I’m not impressed with Huckaby either. I’m still hoping that Fred wakes up and realizes he’s in a primary and/or that Hunter will catch fire. What I are chances? I’m not holding my breath.
Anybody who feels they can’t vote for Mitt Romney simply because he is a Mormon is a bigoted fool. He has moral values equal to or better than any of the so-called Christian candidates. He has the moxie and the guts to do what’s right for America, and he’s come out and said straight-up that his religion will not influence his policies. His big toe would make a smarter and more cognizant president than the Christian cretin we have in office now. But it seems the Christian Right would rather a Christian fool be POTUS than a highly competent Mormon, Jew, or whoever else isn’t of “pure blood”. I thought Christianity was supposed to be the religion of love and forgiveness. I guess that only applies to those who agree exactly with their doctrines. What a load of baloney-laden hypocrisy.
