Homer Simpson: Get out, you vultures! Even you, Fred Thompson.
Fred Thompson: But I was in "Die Hard"!
Homer Simpson: Hah! Die Hard *2*!
Fred Thompson: *Hangs head in shame, leaves.*

I agree with your selection, however I don't expect more from McCain than we got from Bob Dole in '96.

McCain broke the faith and turned his back on his brothers. He won't get my vote. Ever.

Then get used to hearing "Madame President...", followed by a shrill, bitchy, whining response.

Not much of a choice. I guess I'll vote for "none of the above."

I'm trying to get my head around who on the Democratic side I'm most comfortable with in the White House if it comes to that, and I'm pretty sure I've made myself very clear on Hillary - but I can't get past the fact that of the three, she seems the most stable. Can someone talk me down off that ledge? It really bothers me.

Huckabee lost me in Iowa if he hadn't lost me before on his immigration and crime background as I believe bigotry is bigotry no matter if it's directed at a religion, race or gender.

I'm scared to death McCain is going to pull a Howard Dean because he's just that volatile. I'm also very unforgiving after reading Enormous Crime and watching the Amnesty Bill debacle.

Guiliani has dropped off the planet and has far too much to prove.

I'm back with Romney 100%. I REALLY hope if he's nominated he'll ask Fred first and that Fred will be in the mood to say yes. I've said it a bunch of times before but I think the Romney/Thompson ticket would rock and would certainly make up a lot of Romney's weaknesses.

Romney has twice the number of delegates that McCain does at this point. I doubt McCain will get the nomination. If he does, the shrilly bitch will win.

I don't see that he's flip-flopped on issues. He's grown and reconsidered various topics. He hasn't said a word that I haven't heard before either at home, social functions or Church.

I was raised Morman and there is no way I will vote for Mitt Romney. I know full well what the Book of Morman says. Either he lied in order to be Gov of Mass or he's lying now. It doesn't matter to me which one it is. The man is not being true...to anyone least of all God.

This election reminds me of when the Republicans rolled out Dole vs Clinton. The Dems have the Presidency I am afraid. The way this politcal system works, nothing gets done anyway, so I am quite sure they cannot do much damage in 4 - 8 years.

It's impossible for me to get my arms around the fact that she might win. Just listening to her makes my skin crawl and the fact that people really believe that she can do anything for this country astonishes me.

I think that you are underestimating the threat.

The damage done by the first Klinton regime, particularly with respect to our global posture and the Chinese, is only being felt now. And that was with a Republican Congress after the first two years.

A Dem Congress and a Dem in the White House will seriously damage our individual rights, our fiscal stability, this nation's security, and will jeopardize the future of our children, if not ourselves.

"I think that you are underestimating the threat".

I couldn't agree more. Our freedom of speech for one and many more rights is already being threatened. I can't imagine what will happen if you have a democrat Whitehouse and congress.

JMI · 01-23-2008, 09:52

Just an opinion, Sir, but the damage done by our insistence on invading Iraq could also have long lasting effects to our global posture. I am not disagreeing about Bill Clinton's weakness as a CIC. I am saying that the danger of either side leading this country is both underestimated and overestimated. I trust neither of them. Just because the Blues are leading, the Reds cry the world will now cease to exist, and vice versa. It is getting old. JMO. YMMV.

I wouldn't make that assumption just yet. Unsurprisingly, there are quite a few people who would vote republican just to ensure Hillary doesn't win the Presidency.

She might actually be the unwitting ticket to a Republican victory.

That same thought has crossed my mind.
