I agree with you and Matt. The media been successful in their apparent disinterest in Hillary's flip-flopping and other weaknesses, and I don't feel that any of the Republican candidates are strong enough to carry this election. I predict a Democrat victory next year.
I think the GOP will have it tough next year based on current crop of
candidates and that Hillary will have constant fawning coverage from
MSM.
I'll go you one better, as I think "Mrs." Hillary Clinton is going to walk into the White House virtually without a scratch. However, I won't blame the liberal MSM for that sorry spectacle near as much as I will blame the current "leadership" of the Republican Party. They may as well be invisible for all that they have (not) done.
And see this for just a start on Ron Paul's foreign policy ideas, it's likely to infuriate you, but at least it might get you off this obsessive lie of yours. Liar.

I voted Republican at this point because Hillary is too polarizing to win a general election and I believe she will win the Democrat nomination. Obama is flaming out and showing how unprepared he is for the job and I think he would not look good in any kind of serious debate where opposing views are offered and he is asked to explain his own views. Other than that there are no other serious dem candidates. With a healthy economy and a proactive national security policy and throw in a conservative stance on immigration, I think it is the republican candidates election to lose. It is easy for the msm to get focused on what elitists in Washington and New York say, but I believe the evryday American will not vote for Hillary.
At this point it was out of pretty much equal parts desperation and wishful thinking.
I confess to being more than a little afraid because of the sheer volume (decibel as well as mass) of hype and propaganda disgorged by the left but I am really hoping that their eagerness to get their agenda out as often as possible will also prove to be their undoing in that they will have totally exhausted the public with their bilge and will have revealed a little more than is comfortable about themselves and their ...positions? (I know, they have no positions but I didn't know what else to put there).
"Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war" - Shakespeare
I say Republican because it is the Dems election to lose and they have a great track record of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I agree with FreeThinker. Hillary's "it takes a village" schtick may play in NY and LA but it will not play in the Midwest. In addition the nutroots have to be getting a little pissed that they are now recognizing the "bait and switch" from the 06 elections. They elected these guys to end the war and now the people they brought in are playing politics and "supporting" the surge. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see these imbeciles try the "Ned Lamont" gambit again and take out ther own best chance (Hillary) to win the Whitehouse.
Still not sure who it will be on the Republican side (I think Thompson missed his shot) but I think it is either Guliani or Romney and either one of them could mop the floor with Hillary in a debate.
When it comes to debate, none on either side can match his well researched knowledge base. He throws out facts left and right while the rest throw out conjecture.
A typical question nowadays is something like "Should we attack iran/pakistan/china/russia/the latest threat according to the neo-cons."
Every other candidate: "Yes"
Ron Paul: "No, not unless they attack us first."
and THAT is why he will win over the majority of Americans.
Ron Paul: "No, not unless they attack us first", such a stupid comment. They are attacking us and have been for some time. The problem with Paul is taht he doesn't realize they are attacking us. He reminds me of Chaimberlain "Peace in our time" and how he would appease all and ignore the threats we have.
The next attack is going to be a nuke. The problem is not that we plan to fail but we fail to plan...and act. I like some of his ideas but the foriegn policy is a deal sinker. Even Shillary recognizes this and she is moving to an image of a hawk.
So, we'll all be waiting on pins and needles to see who gets nuked during a Paul presidency. Ohhh.. the anticipation!
I wonder if Paul would have a news conference stating that his hands are tied until the nuke goes off? And what will the swift retribution be afterwards?
Just as McGovern lost against a very un-popular Nixon, right after the Viet Nam war, the McGovern Democrats of today will lose. America is not San Francisco, or the far left.
Americans like winning Wars, and now that we have changed from fighting a traditional war, to a different methodolgy for the Iraq war, we will end up winning Iraq for the Iraqui's, along with the Iraqui's.
Look at President Bush's Speech yesterday at the VFW ........ the cost in lives of Viet Nam when we left, the turnaround of Japan from an Enemy to an Ally. You would think it was "NEW" information......and it was, since there is a Generation of un-informed voters out there...and there is Plenty of Time to talk about the Facts.
This EARLY run for the Presidency is a FIRST....and all the Exposure will make people wary of the Candidates....a Constant Diet of Politicians is a TURNOFF for the average American.
Bush is so Dumb...right ? ? He seems to be pushing America towards the right direction even as Pelosi trys to outsmart him...Bush isn't Dumb, the Journalists are the Dumb ones, they cannot push an Agenda ad infinitum....without American recognizing the "Agenda" and picking a more centrist candidate.
when you win a war......it isn't time for a change....it's time to recognize success and go with what is working...for the war, and the Economy.....Dow Jones is up Triple Digits yesterday...
It's gonna be a landslide against Dems. in 2008.
What good is a Free Press, if it is a False Press ? David Foote GoE
Educated guess... but the Dim nod will go to HC at which point she should be "swift boated" for the complete and utter lack of experience and credibility. With a saavy PR machine, we should be able to dispatch her to the dustbin of history and return conservatives to the majority in both houses... I hope.
I voted Democrat (in the poll only, for Goodness sake!) because I believe there is a bull market in stupid people these days. I also dispair at the quality of leadership in the GOP. Where are the Reagans of yesteryear? For that matter, where are the great Democratic leaders of yesteryear? All we are left with are a bouquet of weeds to pick through. It's like looking into a box of rotten fruit and trying to decide which one will make you the least sick.
Basically, I think that devoid of a meaningful choice, the American people will vote Democrat because they will see Democrat as more sympathetic to their personal concerns. The Dems market themselves as such and frankly the Republicans don't market themselves at all.
An example of this is the "Fairness Doctrine." I mean we all want to be fair, don't we? What do conservatives have? "Flat tax"? Who wants to be flat? One of these is "fair" and the other has it in its name, which one do you think the average joe is interested in?
To end my rant, let me say this. I don't believe Shillary will be the end of America. So, I am left with this hope: that her presidency will cause a real leader to rise from the conservative movement like Carter's fumbling the economy and foreign policy brought forth Reagan.
It would seem that both sides have a poor field of candidates to choose from. I will not vote Democrat because I enjoy not having the government make all of my choices for me. Their top three are a woman who seems evil to me every time she opens her mouth. She never answers a question up front but makes it sound like she will do whatever is needed to win. Obama is new, which is good, but he has proven that he has no real grasp on the world at large. Edwards is out for nothing but money and power (typical lawyer). Rudy has no credentials that I like. You can only say "September 11th" so many times before other issues come up. Fred seems good and he may come in and kick some butt in future debates but I am tired of waiting to hear from him. Romney is very likable but I am afraid that the media will hurt him too much. Labeling a person a "flip flopper" is ridiculous at times. Who would you prefer, a person who can evalute the facts and evidence and change their mind accordingly or someone who will continue down the same path no matter what the facts and evidence may say? Some of these politicians are "polishing the brass on the Titanic. It's all going down man." (Tyler Durdin-Fight Club)
I think that Ron Paul, if he wins the Republican nomination, will win the presidency. Any other Republican cannot win against Hillary, and make no mistake about it, Hillary will be the Democratic presidential nominee.
I think in the end, immigration and security will be the driver and the Dems are seriously lacking in both, particularly, security. In fact, they seem to be rooting against America and that will turn off most voters. The real nutters on the far left often won't vote anyway, even though the MSM seems to like putting them on TV all the time. Shows just how clueless most of the media really are......
It pains me to say this, but, I think the Clinton/Obama ticket is inevitable and worse electable.
As the field stands today, I haven't seen one conservative candidate who can compete on the emotional level needed to get both the female and the minority block in the general election. As soon as Hillary wins her primary she will be held up as a moderate conservative by her adoring press. Any attack made by the Republican opponent will be viewed and sold as mean, offhand, and dirty. Her message will be to change the status quo and put Washington back to work for the people. This land is your land, blah, blah, blah.
You underestimate the size of Hillary's ego. I just don't see her taking on Obama Bin Barrack as her running mate. More likely, it will me someone like a Bill Richardson or somebody else that will not take attention away from her.
Ditto. Everytime this subject comes up I remind people that Hillary will NO WAY share her limelight. She has worked her whole life to get to this point and supported that hick of a husband to get her chance at what is rightly hers. She is NOT going to share the ticket with someone who wants to be the next president. People really do underestimate her. She is evil.
“Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.” Ronald Reagan
Crash, you are exactly correct, and why I voted that a Democrat will occupy the White House, in which case, America will slide and pushed even further into Socialism. Far too may people give too much credit to the ignorant masses.
MM, I plan on smuggling in some lagre mouth and a few small mouth. You know I gotta upset the eco system there. Taking my boat to, but no unshaved, hairy women allowed:-)
Bassman, you're a product of the MSM...The French Election was a TOTAL surprise...to who ? The MSM .....and so will the 2008 election be a total surprise.
What good is a Free Press, if it is a False Press ? David Foote GoE
JayTee, say what you will, but the french have some of the best professional wimps in the world. Wont be long before you hear of them taking the winnie approch to something else. There are no better examples of spinelessness in the world. Real pros there, they are.
The MSM can paste as many smily faces over Hillary Clinton's face they want. The fact is she's in a position where she not only has to convince people to vote for her, but not to vote against her. That's an unwinnable position regardless of what the MSM does. Clinton is the Howard Dean of 2008... everyone says they'll vote for her, but they don't. Obama can't win because there are too many people who just won't vote for a black president, and many of these voters are black. They'll view Obama as thinking he's better than them, and they'll stay home.
Rudi and Mitt can't win because they're RINOs and in the same spot as Clinton, i.e., they have to sell themselves and their message, and while some people may like them, they don't like or believe their message.
Fred's got the right message, and he's been consistent in telling it. He wins hands down.
I personally think the Republicans will win because Hillary is going to get the nomination for the Democrats, and people who have never voted before are going to come out of the woodwork just to vote against her.
I voted Democrat. I just think its too early to tell and it depends on who the canditates are. But, if the GOP puts up a pro abortion canditate then I will vote for other. The pro abortion is a deal breaker for me, I mean there will not be a hairs distance from the platforms of the major parties.
I might have to join Bass in France and together we could get a good bass pond somewhere. Free healthcare, as long as the heat dont get me when Im old Ill be ok.
Democrats have miscalculated on two massive political fronts.
1. Democrats think America wanted withdrawal from Iraq when Americans DEMAND VICTORY. Americans love winners and detest quitters. Democrats are quitters and when the surge works even after a Muslim Tet........Iraq will be deemed a victory and Democrats will be blamed for trying to cause defeat.
Americans will not vote for a defeatist party.
2. Democrat minions at bloggers like Kos and Huffington are anarchists. PERIOD. Every time Hillary, Reid and Pelosi try to govern moderate the anarchists feel betrayed and there is a huge growing trend that these Democrats will vote either for wacko Cindy Sheehan types or stay home. The entire party base is fracturing and the most lunatic are already hammering the Democrats they voted for in 2006 as betrayers.
Sub part: Certain happenings which will fuel the election.
A. Illegals. Only Fred Thompson and Ron Paul has even spoken of secure borders and sovereign America. The Democrats are cuddling with illegals and this is a huge issue voters will vote one issue on.
B. The swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida all poll against gay marriage and Democrats are in bed with gays. This will swing several percentage points for the GOP which the DNC can no afford.
C. The trump card which Democrats have been scrambling against and will be incinerated by is combined terrorist attacks and a certain war in the Middle East. bin Laden's manifesto declares WMD attacks will take place against America. The terrorists contained in Iraq are now flushed to attack the west. When this happens along with what will be Saddam's WMDs appearing in an upcoming Middle East war...........voters will in mass swing to the party who actually is attacking terrorism and that is Republicans.
All of this combines to a GOP landslide in 2008. Health care gets trumped the minute a city or cities are attacked and the minute Damascus goes up in a mushroom cloud. Add to the effect that millions of illegals will riot and then stream to Mexico there is going to be a very scarey situation.....and remember all those illegals are housed in blue states and there is nothing like a Conservative lesson in Second Ammendment and who a citizen is when you are Ron Silva getting the scare put into you.
IMO it's unfair to leave-out Mr. Tancredo. He's a non-RINO, the news media hates his guts, and it's clear he's been strong and consistent for a long time on the illegal immigration issue. I may not support him, but I respect Tom Tancredo a lot, especially following his show of principled courage in the Iowa debate controversy.
JMR
Hillary will be the Dimocrat nominee. She has far too many personal negatives to overcome to win. Plus, Slick Willie negatives will be exposed again that will lead to a feeling of "Clinton fatigue". People will ask if they want to deal with him for another 4 years.
MSM support or not, she can't run from her own words and actions. I'm sure the Republicans will play them over and over and over again.
Sam Nunn is making some noise about running which would be damaging to Repubs.
Is it the perception Huckabee can't win that we don't just break down and acknowledge him as the candidate most in keeping with Conservative unwaffling thought?
I too find a lot to like about Huckabee. I was discussing my thoughts with a local GOP operative and she gave me the info I reported here. This link is an article where he discusses his open border philosophy with a LULAC group. He echos the sentiments here in an another speech. I keep waiting for him to denounce his open border position and get on board with the wall and no amnesty but I haven't heard anything yet.
With his support of the Fair Tax there might be hope for his social spending habits.
“Government does not solve problems; it subsidizes them.” Ronald Reagan
Since I believe the Democrats have no clue why they won the '06 elections, I believe they will go overboard and will disgust them that got 'em there. If a Republican has a plan, going into the election, they should be able to beat the "anti-Bush" Democrats, who are running against a President who's not running.
As far as Congress goes, how many Iraq votes and investigations will the voting public tolerate? If that's what they believe people voted for them, they're in for a surprise in '08!!!
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
I'm not sure whom our candidate will be, or should be, yet. Fred is appealing in so many ways, but I have to wonder at his delay in getting into the race...is he worried about the "egg on face" factor?
I could live with Rudy or Mitt, I suppose. Depending on Fred's performance (which I am hoping shall be absolutely stellar)...I'm still on the fence.
But I think our second tier candidates are pretty hot stuff. They're just so unknown to the rest of the country that they don't really have a shot at the top spot, IMO.
Bottom line, Hillary is a disgusting witch, people really hate her....as much as she thinks she deserves it...it's not going to happen. Obama has shown himself to be as naive as a five year old. I've maintained all along that a fop like Edwards will probably be their nominee if the dems eventually come to their senses (as they did after Dean's Iowa meltdown). Oh, how I'd laugh at that nomination speech....Silky Pony Boy.
So....hoping for a great candidate in Fred. As Roger said, it would be nice be able to finally vote FOR someone.
Time will tell.
David Gregory, do you know which damn network you lie for? ~ Uncle Jimbo, @Blackfive
And while you are at it, get ready for another two years of a democrat-controlled congress, as well.
The republican "leadership" is about as vapid as I have ever seen, as they appear to be unable to find their asses with both hands. The dim-bulb-o-crats step in it nearly every day, yet the republicans remain virtually silent. They are going to get their clock's cleaned in '08, and, as far as I am concerned, they deserve it.
Sure, this country is going to go through Hell for 24 months, but maybe, just maybe, in the long-term it will be a good thing, as it will rather rudely jerk many Americans out of their mindless complacency.
If a republican does have any chance, it will be due to the fact that he or she distances themselves from the party, much like Nixon did in running for his second term.
Are you listening Fred Thompson?
I deeply love my country, but that love is rapidly becoming a "tough" love, and it is getting tougher as each day passes.
Let's face it, the "Stupid Factor" is going to loom rather large in '08.
LOL-You know, I kind of like the sound of that....oh, never mind.
Actually, I didn't mean "Hail to the Chick?" to be a sexist comment. I just was getting a jump on what I would be hearing in my mind on a cold January morn in '09.
And yes, the "stupid factor" will loom large in the next election, as our government school's inability (or unwillingness) to educate the dumbMasses over the last 40+ years is finally bearing fruit for the Left.
I really believe we have finally reached that proverbial point where the majority of Americans are too stupid to support themselves fully.
I hope I'm wrong, but given the fact that two flaming Marxists (Gore and Kerry) have come within a handful of votes of taking the White House in the last two major elections, I do not hold out much hope for this country in the near term.
Maybe two years of the Hildewench and her congressional aparatchiks running things may just be the thing we need to get this country back on track.
God knows the gutless republicans aren't going to do it.
But don't be such a pessimist. The glass is half full, guy. I think most hard working Americans will not be fooled by the idiots.
Further, I suspect many Americans are finally twigging to the fact that the MsM is pathetically shilling. People are turning off the TV more and more as there are other, more interesting options.
So, Dave, I'll let you out of time out. For now.
Until you go all pessimistic again. :)

August 23, 2007 - 10:46 ET by Dave PierreI have to agree with Matt. After losing in 2004, the MSM will do everything in its power to make sure a conservative Republican does not get elected.
The MSM single-handedly took a state senator and created Obama "the rock star." They love Hillary.
Meanwhile, they boo George Bush in the news room. If they're doing that to the President, imagine how they'd react to a Tancredo or Huckabee.
I'm willing to be optimistic, but it's hard when you see the media that the Republicans are up against.

I confess to being more than a little afraid because of the sheer volume (decibel as well as mass) of hype and propaganda disgorged by the left but I am really hoping that their eagerness to get their agenda out as often as possible will also prove to be their undoing in that they will have totally exhausted the public with their bilge and will have revealed a little more than is comfortable about themselves and their ...positions? (I know, they have no positions but I didn't know what else to put there).

I say Republican because it
August 23, 2007 - 10:44 ET by MassConservativeI say Republican because it is the Dems election to lose and they have a great track record of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
I agree with FreeThinker. Hillary's "it takes a village" schtick may play in NY and LA but it will not play in the Midwest. In addition the nutroots have to be getting a little pissed that they are now recognizing the "bait and switch" from the 06 elections. They elected these guys to end the war and now the people they brought in are playing politics and "supporting" the surge. It wouldn't surprise me at all to see these imbeciles try the "Ned Lamont" gambit again and take out ther own best chance (Hillary) to win the Whitehouse.
Still not sure who it will be on the Republican side (I think Thompson missed his shot) but I think it is either Guliani or Romney and either one of them could mop the floor with Hillary in a debate.
Two words: Ron Paul. All
August 23, 2007 - 10:55 ET by ThoughtPoliceTwo words: Ron Paul. All else are cannon fodder.
When it comes to debate, none on either side can match his well researched knowledge base. He throws out facts left and right while the rest throw out conjecture.
A typical question nowadays is something like "Should we attack iran/pakistan/china/russia/the latest threat according to the neo-cons."
Every other candidate: "Yes"
Ron Paul: "No, not unless they attack us first."
and THAT is why he will win over the majority of Americans.
Ron Paul: "No, not unless
August 23, 2007 - 12:29 ET by Dan The Man 2Ron Paul: "No, not unless they attack us first", such a stupid comment. They are attacking us and have been for some time. The problem with Paul is taht he doesn't realize they are attacking us. He reminds me of Chaimberlain "Peace in our time" and how he would appease all and ignore the threats we have.
The next attack is going to be a nuke. The problem is not that we plan to fail but we fail to plan...and act. I like some of his ideas but the foriegn policy is a deal sinker. Even Shillary recognizes this and she is moving to an image of a hawk.
Nuke em til they glow then shoot em in the dark.
Paul's Christmas
August 23, 2007 - 12:39 ET by Sergeant ROCKSo, we'll all be waiting on pins and needles to see who gets nuked during a Paul presidency. Ohhh.. the anticipation!
I wonder if Paul would have a news conference stating that his hands are tied until the nuke goes off? And what will the swift retribution be afterwards?

They Misunderestimate the Republicans
August 23, 2007 - 10:49 ET by JayTeeJust as McGovern lost against a very un-popular Nixon, right after the Viet Nam war, the McGovern Democrats of today will lose. America is not San Francisco, or the far left.
Americans like winning Wars, and now that we have changed from fighting a traditional war, to a different methodolgy for the Iraq war, we will end up winning Iraq for the Iraqui's, along with the Iraqui's.
Look at President Bush's Speech yesterday at the VFW ........ the cost in lives of Viet Nam when we left, the turnaround of Japan from an Enemy to an Ally. You would think it was "NEW" information......and it was, since there is a Generation of un-informed voters out there...and there is Plenty of Time to talk about the Facts.
This EARLY run for the Presidency is a FIRST....and all the Exposure will make people wary of the Candidates....a Constant Diet of Politicians is a TURNOFF for the average American.
Bush is so Dumb...right ? ? He seems to be pushing America towards the right direction even as Pelosi trys to outsmart him...Bush isn't Dumb, the Journalists are the Dumb ones, they cannot push an Agenda ad infinitum....without American recognizing the "Agenda" and picking a more centrist candidate.
when you win a war......it isn't time for a change....it's time to recognize success and go with what is working...for the war, and the Economy.....Dow Jones is up Triple Digits yesterday...
It's gonna be a landslide against Dems. in 2008.

I voted Democrat (in the
August 23, 2007 - 10:51 ET by Ruths husband BenI voted Democrat (in the poll only, for Goodness sake!) because I believe there is a bull market in stupid people these days. I also dispair at the quality of leadership in the GOP. Where are the Reagans of yesteryear? For that matter, where are the great Democratic leaders of yesteryear? All we are left with are a bouquet of weeds to pick through. It's like looking into a box of rotten fruit and trying to decide which one will make you the least sick.
Basically, I think that devoid of a meaningful choice, the American people will vote Democrat because they will see Democrat as more sympathetic to their personal concerns. The Dems market themselves as such and frankly the Republicans don't market themselves at all.
An example of this is the "Fairness Doctrine." I mean we all want to be fair, don't we? What do conservatives have? "Flat tax"? Who wants to be flat? One of these is "fair" and the other has it in its name, which one do you think the average joe is interested in?
To end my rant, let me say this. I don't believe Shillary will be the end of America. So, I am left with this hope: that her presidency will cause a real leader to rise from the conservative movement like Carter's fumbling the economy and foreign policy brought forth Reagan.
Tough call
August 23, 2007 - 10:54 ET by jay_1975It would seem that both sides have a poor field of candidates to choose from. I will not vote Democrat because I enjoy not having the government make all of my choices for me. Their top three are a woman who seems evil to me every time she opens her mouth. She never answers a question up front but makes it sound like she will do whatever is needed to win. Obama is new, which is good, but he has proven that he has no real grasp on the world at large. Edwards is out for nothing but money and power (typical lawyer). Rudy has no credentials that I like. You can only say "September 11th" so many times before other issues come up. Fred seems good and he may come in and kick some butt in future debates but I am tired of waiting to hear from him. Romney is very likable but I am afraid that the media will hurt him too much. Labeling a person a "flip flopper" is ridiculous at times. Who would you prefer, a person who can evalute the facts and evidence and change their mind accordingly or someone who will continue down the same path no matter what the facts and evidence may say? Some of these politicians are "polishing the brass on the Titanic. It's all going down man." (Tyler Durdin-Fight Club)
Ron Paul is the only Republican with a chance
August 23, 2007 - 11:01 ET by Jamila AkilI think that Ron Paul, if he wins the Republican nomination, will win the presidency. Any other Republican cannot win against Hillary, and make no mistake about it, Hillary will be the Democratic presidential nominee.

August 23, 2007 - 11:59 ET by CrashIt pains me to say this, but, I think the Clinton/Obama ticket is inevitable and worse electable.
As the field stands today, I haven't seen one conservative candidate who can compete on the emotional level needed to get both the female and the minority block in the general election. As soon as Hillary wins her primary she will be held up as a moderate conservative by her adoring press. Any attack made by the Republican opponent will be viewed and sold as mean, offhand, and dirty. Her message will be to change the status quo and put Washington back to work for the people. This land is your land, blah, blah, blah.
Wrong.
August 23, 2007 - 12:03 ET by Sergeant ROCKYou underestimate the size of Hillary's ego. I just don't see her taking on Obama Bin Barrack as her running mate. More likely, it will me someone like a Bill Richardson or somebody else that will not take attention away from her.

Ditto. Everytime this subject comes up I remind people that Hillary will NO WAY share her limelight. She has worked her whole life to get to this point and supported that hick of a husband to get her chance at what is rightly hers. She is NOT going to share the ticket with someone who wants to be the next president. People really do underestimate her. She is evil.

Fred Wins!
August 23, 2007 - 12:34 ET by BruzillaThe MSM can paste as many smily faces over Hillary Clinton's face they want. The fact is she's in a position where she not only has to convince people to vote for her, but not to vote against her. That's an unwinnable position regardless of what the MSM does. Clinton is the Howard Dean of 2008... everyone says they'll vote for her, but they don't. Obama can't win because there are too many people who just won't vote for a black president, and many of these voters are black. They'll view Obama as thinking he's better than them, and they'll stay home.
Rudi and Mitt can't win because they're RINOs and in the same spot as Clinton, i.e., they have to sell themselves and their message, and while some people may like them, they don't like or believe their message.
Fred's got the right message, and he's been consistent in telling it. He wins hands down.
A Republican
August 23, 2007 - 12:37 ET by LilyPearlI personally think the Republicans will win because Hillary is going to get the nomination for the Democrats, and people who have never voted before are going to come out of the woodwork just to vote against her.

Republicans will take the House and Senate
August 23, 2007 - 13:02 ET by Lame CherryDemocrats have miscalculated on two massive political fronts.
1. Democrats think America wanted withdrawal from Iraq when Americans DEMAND VICTORY. Americans love winners and detest quitters. Democrats are quitters and when the surge works even after a Muslim Tet........Iraq will be deemed a victory and Democrats will be blamed for trying to cause defeat.
Americans will not vote for a defeatist party.
2. Democrat minions at bloggers like Kos and Huffington are anarchists. PERIOD. Every time Hillary, Reid and Pelosi try to govern moderate the anarchists feel betrayed and there is a huge growing trend that these Democrats will vote either for wacko Cindy Sheehan types or stay home. The entire party base is fracturing and the most lunatic are already hammering the Democrats they voted for in 2006 as betrayers.
Sub part: Certain happenings which will fuel the election.
A. Illegals. Only Fred Thompson and Ron Paul has even spoken of secure borders and sovereign America. The Democrats are cuddling with illegals and this is a huge issue voters will vote one issue on.
B. The swing states of Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida all poll against gay marriage and Democrats are in bed with gays. This will swing several percentage points for the GOP which the DNC can no afford.
C. The trump card which Democrats have been scrambling against and will be incinerated by is combined terrorist attacks and a certain war in the Middle East. bin Laden's manifesto declares WMD attacks will take place against America. The terrorists contained in Iraq are now flushed to attack the west. When this happens along with what will be Saddam's WMDs appearing in an upcoming Middle East war...........voters will in mass swing to the party who actually is attacking terrorism and that is Republicans.
All of this combines to a GOP landslide in 2008. Health care gets trumped the minute a city or cities are attacked and the minute Damascus goes up in a mushroom cloud. Add to the effect that millions of illegals will riot and then stream to Mexico there is going to be a very scarey situation.....and remember all those illegals are housed in blue states and there is nothing like a Conservative lesson in Second Ammendment and who a citizen is when you are Ron Silva getting the scare put into you.

I too find a lot to like about Huckabee. I was discussing my thoughts with a local GOP operative and she gave me the info I reported here. This link is an article where he discusses his open border philosophy with a LULAC group. He echos the sentiments here in an another speech. I keep waiting for him to denounce his open border position and get on board with the wall and no amnesty but I haven't heard anything yet.
With his support of the Fair Tax there might be hope for his social spending habits.

The Dems in '08
August 23, 2007 - 18:49 ET by pbthinkerSince I believe the Democrats have no clue why they won the '06 elections, I believe they will go overboard and will disgust them that got 'em there. If a Republican has a plan, going into the election, they should be able to beat the "anti-Bush" Democrats, who are running against a President who's not running.
As far as Congress goes, how many Iraq votes and investigations will the voting public tolerate? If that's what they believe people voted for them, they're in for a surprise in '08!!!
Never argue with an idiot. They'll drag you down to their level and beat you with experience.
Dems in '06

Okay, now I voted. And
August 23, 2007 - 19:13 ET by BlondeOkay, now I voted.
And for an (R) win.
I'm not sure whom our candidate will be, or should be, yet. Fred is appealing in so many ways, but I have to wonder at his delay in getting into the race...is he worried about the "egg on face" factor?
I could live with Rudy or Mitt, I suppose. Depending on Fred's performance (which I am hoping shall be absolutely stellar)...I'm still on the fence.
But I think our second tier candidates are pretty hot stuff. They're just so unknown to the rest of the country that they don't really have a shot at the top spot, IMO.
Bottom line, Hillary is a disgusting witch, people really hate her....as much as she thinks she deserves it...it's not going to happen. Obama has shown himself to be as naive as a five year old. I've maintained all along that a fop like Edwards will probably be their nominee if the dems eventually come to their senses (as they did after Dean's Iowa meltdown). Oh, how I'd laugh at that nomination speech....Silky Pony Boy.
So....hoping for a great candidate in Fred. As Roger said, it would be nice be able to finally vote FOR someone.

Get ready for President Clinton, Round II.
August 23, 2007 - 19:49 ET by Dave RAnd while you are at it, get ready for another two years of a democrat-controlled congress, as well.
The republican "leadership" is about as vapid as I have ever seen, as they appear to be unable to find their asses with both hands. The dim-bulb-o-crats step in it nearly every day, yet the republicans remain virtually silent. They are going to get their clock's cleaned in '08, and, as far as I am concerned, they deserve it.
Sure, this country is going to go through Hell for 24 months, but maybe, just maybe, in the long-term it will be a good thing, as it will rather rudely jerk many Americans out of their mindless complacency.
If a republican does have any chance, it will be due to the fact that he or she distances themselves from the party, much like Nixon did in running for his second term.
Are you listening Fred Thompson?
I deeply love my country, but that love is rapidly becoming a "tough" love, and it is getting tougher as each day passes.

Actually, I didn't mean "Hail to the Chick?" to be a sexist comment. I just was getting a jump on what I would be hearing in my mind on a cold January morn in '09.
And yes, the "stupid factor" will loom large in the next election, as our government school's inability (or unwillingness) to educate the dumbMasses over the last 40+ years is finally bearing fruit for the Left.
I really believe we have finally reached that proverbial point where the majority of Americans are too stupid to support themselves fully.
I hope I'm wrong, but given the fact that two flaming Marxists (Gore and Kerry) have come within a handful of votes of taking the White House in the last two major elections, I do not hold out much hope for this country in the near term.
Maybe two years of the Hildewench and her congressional aparatchiks running things may just be the thing we need to get this country back on track.
God knows the gutless republicans aren't going to do it.
Bad Dave!
August 23, 2007 - 20:45 ET by BlondeI know....all about it.
But don't be such a pessimist. The glass is half full, guy. I think most hard working Americans will not be fooled by the idiots.
Further, I suspect many Americans are finally twigging to the fact that the MsM is pathetically shilling. People are turning off the TV more and more as there are other, more interesting options.
So, Dave, I'll let you out of time out. For now.
