I so agree with that quote. It is kind of my mantra to people of all political stripes: try to keep debates in the context that your opponent is wrong as opposed to evil. That doesn't mean there are not truly evil people out there but as a label, I believe it has to be a very high threshhold and not thrown around willy-nilly till it loses all meaning.

Unless he picks it up though, I may be forced to consider the least worst of the alternatives. The least worst choice would still be better than handing the presidency to Clinton or Obama by not voting. A not vote really works out to be a vote in favor of a Democrat which is specifically what I do not want to happen. By the way, I voted for Perot in '92 and helped split the vote so that B.J. Clinton was able to win with only 43% of the popular vote. Live and learn I won't be wronged. I won't be insulted. I won't be laid a-hand on.

January 16, 2008 - 16:53 ET by pwoz I'm 23, but feel like I'm 40.. I like Thompson, but because of his frequent smack downs on the media (which I love by the way), he won't get the nomination.. but I like his politics.. I am, however, starting to like Romney. My best friend lives in MA with his wife, and they are moderate right like myself, but they told me they feel Romney is a great businessman, and could probably help us stimulate the economy and create some more jobs. Edit: He also seems very blunt and staightforward about the illegal problem. I'm not committing to a candidate yet, seeing as how November is a while away, but I think I could vote for a Thompson/Romney easily.

January 17, 2008 - 21:39 ET by Clear thinker Ask your friends in Mass if they have gotten the 2008 bill for Mitt's healthcare plan? Here's what's happened to one family.... Romney Mandatory Medical My son recently got his new bill for the Romney Medical Insurance in Massachusetts. His monthly premium jumped from $600 to $1000 per month. $12000 per year for a plan, not based on service, but a family of four's ability to pay assessed on income. The power to "fix" premium, is granted by his bill to the Insurance companies. There are no alternative choices, it is a must pay despite the expenses of the household. With $30,000 per year income taxes, $10,000 Property Taxes, $2500 Auto Excise Taxes, Heating Oil @$3.45/gal and going up for an annual Heating Expense $7,000. Add to that the Morgage for a fixer-upper in Massachusets exceeding $20,000 per year, plus insurance for car and home; the cost of the Romney Medical plan is a hardship to most inhabitants and will soon impact the economy of Massachusetts. Is this his plan for the nation?

A solid 3rd place finish in the Iowa, mainly because the media puffed and manufactured a Huckabee front-run in the 11th hour. The difference we have seen in polling performance so far is between casual voters who only know what they see on the nightly news, and politically involved people who pay attention on an hourly basis to behind-the-scenes depths of information. Amazingly, among the latter, I'd call Fred's popularity a resounding success. Among the former, well, I think it's obvious that there are easily lead sheep on both sides of the aisle.

To do that would involve intense political warfare to undo a number of PC laws by refusing compromises due to the liberal infestation of the legislature. Basically, Duncan needs to demonstrate his leadership abilities on a State level before he can be tapped for the POTUS position.

I'm sorry, but he's not going to be able to abolish the IRS with the current crop of Republicans and Democrats in both houses of Congress. THEREFORE... The only Ron Paul policy that could possibly happen if he were to become president is that we will get out of Iraq. This makes Ron Paul's goverance effectively a Democratic presidency. This is why it is irresponsible for Ron Paul to run as a Republican. He really needs to leave the party, form a 3rd party, then find representatives that can win congressional seats. If he really believed in his "constitutionalist" views, he would do just that. But he doesn't. And that's the big lie of Ron Paul. His candidacy is not about what he believes...it's about what's wrong with what others believe. He is the quintessential "I'm mad and I'm not taking it anymore!" candidate. Those that support him are driven too much by emotion to logically walk through his candidacy and the real results of a Ron Paul presidency. If any of you Ron Paul supporters are conservatives, you need to start thinking about what you're really accomplishing. Find a conservative candidate that can get things done. Please.

January 17, 2008 - 18:39 ET by sarcasmo A veto pen, which would behave more like a $20 whore than the virgin we've been used-to, could pare back this obese government merely to the level of the last year of Slick Willie. This is a level of big-government fiscal conservatives like me used to complain-about, but now I pine for it. Think about that fact for a moment. The focus here is the war (and Thompson's numbers above reveal you're not exactly the average Republican demographic!!) but in the near future inflation is going to make the folly of big spending quite clear. The IRS brings in about 1/3 of federal revenue. Combined with the savings from reducing military welfare overseas and the actual national security plus of enforcing the borders, we'd be able to see the end of the IRS in 4 years. At that point, even if we're still in recession and the delayed effects of inflation are still hitting, the IRS-killer would probably be popular enough to be re-elected, IMO. I'd sure like April 15th a hell of a lot better than I like it now. You're headed for a brokered Republican convention. It will include all or most of the top Republican choices despite the media bias that's displayed here when it's not decried (see laughable Duncan Hunter choice above). Get used to it. Hillary's $tack right now is like Jamie Gold's chipstack midway thru the WSOP a few years ago. She has raised more than all the Republicans *combined, from what I hear. That many chips in the stack, as we saw with Gold's victory, tends to forgive even lousy play. The reason the other guys have so many chips is that our side needs to drastically* change strategy. It may be hard for you to believe, but I really do think the *only* Republican with any chance against the she-devil is Dr. Paul. I've been away lately because I'm over on Daily Paul, trying to get the Paul campaign to do different things. I'm sure it will shock everyone, but "robots" don't seem to agree much, possibly explaining their heavy traffic. I've also had a past spat with the main newsletter-suspect here, which makes me wish to recuse myself from further comment, because I don't think I can judge him fairly...But I'm with the "get rid of him unless he comes clean" crowd, and so far I lose.

So all I care about is having a candidate that WILLwin. I have concluded that the candidate must be Mitt Romney. Romney has been and continues to be THE most articulate candidate in both parties. McCain and Thompson have had their moments but are not sustainable. Huckabee is as articulate as Romney. Romney does not have dirty laundry and scandals in his closet. Exit my mayor - Giuliani. I am concerned about unethical insinuations concerning Huckabee. Romney is not afraid to attack. McCain does not attack. Huckabee is not that good at attack. And Thompson only attacks when he wakes up periodically. To beat Hillary and the Democrats it will take a very active attack machine who is not afraid. Romney has a great history in corporate life of turning around corporations, so I would not question his economic positions. He was also elected Governor in a very, very blue state.

Rush Limbaugh stated that of the top 5 Republicans running for the presidency, only one was a true conservative. http://www.fred08.com/ Login or register to post comments Email this page Someone who will unite the January 16, 2008 - 18:07 ET by Chris Norman Someone who will unite the party and set the agenda and give some direction for the Republicans in Congress.

Mine went McCain (him?), Thompson, Hunter, Romney, Giuliani, Huckabee, Paul... then a huge gap before getting to the Dems. Apparently, Hillary, Edwards and I only agree on one issue... the death penalty. While this is certainly an interesting exercise, it leaves out some very important considerations for a presidential candidate... such as leadership experience, trust that what the person says is what they mean, general presence, ability to get things done, etc. Also, I think some of those question's answers are somewhat similar. So while it says I disagree with Thompson on Immigration, but I'd suspect we aren't too far off the mark. So I'm sticking with Thompson as long as he's in the race. *** "There are no stupid questions.
