Politics of the business.

[Warriorbird]

Hillary is too much of a divider.

John Edwards isn't even liked in his own state.

Barack Obama just won't step up.

Ron Paul expresses libertarian ideals... yet he's got ties to racist groups, is anti abortion, and anti gay rights.

Giuliani is going to get sandbagged by his own party.

Who am I supposed to be excited about?

I'd like someone who expresses libertarian economic ideals... without spending like it's going out of style and being anti rights of all sorts.

It isn't going to happen.

Nobody's goin to unifty us... both parties are going for polarization.

I'd like someone with the inspirational qualities of Kennedy...or Reagan. I'd like someone with the tenacity of Nixon...or T.R.

Instead we have Hillary Clinton. Instead we Fred Thompson...who isn't even engaged enough to do a good Reagan impression. I liked him better on Law and Order.

Jon Bon Jovi may be running for Governor of New Jersey. That's way more amusing than the entire Presidential race.

No-one cares
Fuck off

Kay. Done my duty. Back to snark.

Giuliani is going to get sandbagged by his own party.

Curious as to why you think this.

Also, what are your thoughts on Romney?


No-one cares
Fuck off
LOL

[oldanforgotten]

Because he?s been married 3 times and he?s a supporter of gay rights and abortion rights. He?s not Christian enough for the far right, and even though they are a minority, they are the loudest.

Romney will also have issues getting major backing. All the waste in Washington will be terrified of losing their $100,000 jobs. The unions will probably fight him as well, because as a businessman, he?d recognize how wasteful the unions of today are, especially in the teaching world, and how they keep costing us more and more jobs with ridiculous demands.

Romney?s other problem is that he?s like a cross of Kerry and Gore when it comes to speaking. He?s about as exciting to watch as seeing paint dry, and he comes across as wishy washy. Of all the candidates, however, I see him as probably having the best platform.

I'm debating getting a free bumper/window sticker from each and every 2008 candidate and making a statement on my minivan.

I think I'm prolly going to put the conservatives on the left side and liberals on the right side, just to show my incredulous lumping in an artsy, automobile-like manner.

[Warriorbird]

Giuliani is going to be sandbagged because he doesn't like people telling him what to do. The Christian Right isn't thrilled by that. They represent a lot of what I dislike about the Republican Party. Romney has the deep wish-wash problem. I'd make him a CEO a lot sooner than I would a nominee... he's got some of the same beliefs as Giuliani... he just doesn't have the guts to say them.

Giuliani isn't a sell out... except in the sense of personal profiteering and in selling out enemies of his.

This is a strength... but it is also a liability.

[Sean of the Thread]

I'm writing in Reverend Ronnie on my ticket.

[Artha]

I'd like someone I actually wanted to vote for. Instead I'll probably just write in Steven Colbert or something because all the choices suck.

[Gan]

I cant wait for the day when its OK to be a Republican and not be considered, associated, with or in bed with the far Christian right.

Until that time I'll never consider my party affiliation as being 'Republican'.

(even then I probably wont considering I like being an independant)

He can't.. he sang a song called "Living on a Prayer" which would be a clear violation of church and state.

Other than that.. I actually agree. Not sure why you brought up Clinton, Obama and Edwards (3 top Dem nominees) and only picked Giuliani to comment on. (well, you also picked Ron Paul.. but he's in like what.. 10th place in the polls?) Where is your commentary on the real Republican nominees?

Its because all of his posts/threads have a liberal slant to them.

:whistle:

Could be something to do with...

Curious as to why you think this.

WB is scared of Gan's blistering questions?

(I don't get it)

[Warriorbird]

I discussed people who I'd consider voting for. The list featured two actual Republicans...so it says something.

As for the others?

McCain needs a Hail Mary (quite literally, as others will have to fall for him to rise...and he'll have to get more religious backing)
Thompson does not seem sufficiently engaged or lively.

I talked a bit about Romney and Giuliani already.
Huckabee is unelectable.

[Artha]

You asked why he commented on Giuliani, I pointed to Gan asking him why he feels the way he does about Giuliani.

Actually, the OP is so poorly written its difficult to tell what direction you want to go other than list opinions of the political candidates for the 08 election. It just looked like your brain vomited up a few sparsely related thoughts and left others to decide/determine what direction to take it. Hence why I asked a few leading questions after a comment or two.

Positively engaging. Thanks for a great discussion thread. 1 star

My "I'm bored." stream of consciousness is...boring. I'm not suprised.

I would settle for it once more being correct to presume that being Republican you were fiscally conservative and not simply an opportunist willing to use a War and natural disasters to line the pockets of your friends.

LOL. Do you even read your own posts before hitting submit? Which friends of Bush did he make wealthy because of the war? Which natural disaster.. and which friends?

You realize that he could do the same thing by NOT going to war or creating natural disasters.. right?

I imagine that profit from war is greater than profit from peace. Natural disasters is probably even.

Are you so stupid as to think people are going to take the time to list examples for any of your inane postings? Do you know what the GAO is, do you ever look at their reports before you open your big flapping mouth?

I'm sure you don't bother to do anything but attempt to derail threads, perhaps someone should see if you are another Backlash.

[Artha]

No but demanding something you know isn't going to be produced is a lot easier than actually making a cogent argument.

[Sean of the Thread]

So is stating something as fact and then pulling a "Are you so stupid as to think people are going to take the time to list examples for any of your inane postings?"

[Stanley Burrell]

Just quote The Wu-Tang Clan and you will have all the irrefutable evidence at hand that you'll ever need. Word is bond. I'd like to start a national trend, plz.
