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)

From The INBOX: Fred Thompson’s Announcement #2 »

From The INBOX: Fred Thompson’s Announcement

Yeah, sad day with Fred dropping out. I had confirmed it this morning, but was told I had to wait until it was public.  Anyways, the scramble for where we all go is beginning. (Yes, there are a heck of a lot of Fred-heads out here.

Andy:

Saw with considerable consternation Thompson’s announcement. Who do you think deserves support at this point?

Frankly, I can’t support McCain out of principle. He’s abandoned us too much in the past. I don’t trust him one bit.

Huckabee is also in that book for me. No Hucking way, as I say. Once a liberal always a liberal.

Who else is there? Ron Paul? He’s absolutely nuts and his foreign policy is crazy. Looking at the MNGOP provded straw poll ballot we also seem to have a choice of John Cox and Alan Keyes. Um, NO!

Romney? Well, it may have to either hold your nose or hold out hope that he isn’t just paying us conservatives lipservice to get the endorsement, only to later stick his finger in our eye and tell us to shut up like McCain would. And he isn’t trying to redefine conservatism like Huckabee is.

There may be no other choice. Is Romney all we true conservatives (big C conservatives, as in the movement) have left to get behind?

    What concerns me is how quickly, before 90% of us even get to offer an opinion, we’ve gone from an embarrassment of riches, candidate-wise, to a few stale onions in the bottom of the bin. If they would drop off from the bottom of the most-desirable list, that would be one thing, but Thompson was at the top of mine. Romney was second, followed by Huckabee (yuck), Giuliani (yuck-yuck), and McCain dead last. Hunter would have been better than any of them, position-wise, in my mind, and he’s out. The only one I would pick behind McCain would be Ron Paul, and then, I think, only because McCain is right on the most important issue– the GWOT– and Paul is wrong.

    So who will be the next one to fall? We’ve an awful long time to live with buyer’s remorse if we pick Romney and then discover something we con’t like, especially when we already KNOW things we don’t like– BIG things– about the others. It’s time for worrying.

    I have to concur JE….At this point it’s a matter of how hard I need to hold my nose when pulling the lever……
