Words To Live By
"You're just petty politicians, who'd sooner sign onto the wisdom of a tyrant in another country, than the demands of ticked off voters in your own." (Neil Cavuto June 2008)

“I didn’t question her patriotism. I questioned her judgment.” Mr. Cheney went on: “The point I made and I’ll make it again is that Al Qaeda functions on the basis that they think they can break our will. That’s their fundamental underlying strategy, that if they can kill enough Americans or cause enough havoc, create enough chaos in Iraq, then we’ll quit and go home. And my statement was that if we adopt the Pelosi policy, that then we will validate the strategy of Al Qaeda. I said it, and I meant it.” (Vice President Cheney NYT Feb. 2007)

"A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers. (Ronald Reagan March 1, 1975)

"Oh, no! First of all, if I took one vote away from a serious candidate, it would be a sin." (Al Franken Time Magazine, 9/1/03)

More Often Than Mitt

Mitt Romney should have walked away with a majority of the Ames Straw poll vote. A 32% plurality is NOT that impressive, if you ask me.

Given the other big names weren’t even running in the poll, Romney should have easily garnered 50+1% hands down without breaking a sweat. The fact that he didn’t do so kinda proves one or two things. Either this stupid primary system where all the hands are played by the .0000001% of the general election voters is ridiculous. And/or that Romney is indeed not ready for the GOP primetime. I mean some unknown/unelectable folks had decent showings.

Romney’s own past is his own worst enemy. Every Sunday show is pounding away on his flip flopping this morning, and well, it is his own reality.

As Fred Thompson’s bungling of his potential runaway candidacy is getting worse and losing steam, Republicans are once again looking for someone to get behind.

I just don’t know if it is Romney that we’re ready for. 32% in the Ames poll does not make my heart warm to Romney. I think that this should be chalked up as a loss for Romney. The big names didn’t even compete in the poll campaigning, and the ‘also rans’ managed to make it a fair fight.

The poll respondents, if you will, picked other candidates, more often than Mitt. I can’t help but think that is because of one conservative issue or another.

In other words, the GOP is far from ready to settle on a candidate.
