Any of the big 4 I guess you could call them on the Republican side...will be great for the democrats.

It will be left...or far left.

Either way....Conservatives....TRUE conservatives...are screwed and I think for the rest of my time. This election will pretty much set the course IMHO for the next several years. Future doesnt look bright to me.

Please define what a "true Republican conservative" is.


ack-ack

Anyone stop to think Huckabee is a shill for the Dems. Even the Dems are rooting for Huckie to get the party nod. With crap like this large numbers of fence sitters will vote Dem and concervitives will stay home.

What truly is sad, is that people still vote by party politics, rather than individual integrity.

Many of the people here, are willing to compromise even on issues as important as illegal immigration, or foreign trade (NAFTA), so long as they can still vote with their party affiliation. There is no answer in the DNC or the GOP, as they both pretty much follow the same agenda. The day either party stops' worrying about nothing but election campaigns' and lobbyist money, I'll change my tune. until then, I don't see very many candidates that will actually change anything.

frode.. not sure I understand your reasoning...  if a person says "I am running as a democrat and this is what we believe"  then you would need to say to yourself that a democrat is such and such.. same for republicans.. it would not matter what the guy said.. in the end.. he is a republican or a democrat.

If he really was a person who thought for himself then he would be neither.. he would be not belong to any party...  soo.. it makes sense that if two parties have vastly different world views....

You need to vote party and the man has nothing to do with it.

And voting by party has got us... ? One party that's honest about what they're gonna do... raise taxes, increase socialism, and spend money... and another party that lies about what they're gonna do, increasing socialism and spending money.

Michelle Malkin's idea of a Gop candidate:

 I need a man. A man who can say "No." A man who rejects Big Nanny government. A man who thinks being president doesn't mean playing Santa Claus. A man who won't panic in the face of economic pain. A man who won't succumb to media-driven sob stories.

A man who can look voters, the media and the Chicken Littles in Congress in the eye and say the three words no one wants to hear in Washington: Suck. It. Up.

 Economist Tyler Cowen points out the problem of predatory borrowing -- something you never hear politicians spotlight. He notes, "As much as 70 percent of recent early payment defaults had fraudulent misrepresentations on their original loan applications," according to research on more than three million loans done by BasePoint Analytics. "Many of the frauds were simple rather than ingenious. In some cases, borrowers who were asked to state their incomes just lied, sometimes reporting five times actual income; other borrowers falsified income documents by using computers. Too often, mortgage originators and middlemen looked the other way rather than slowing down the process or insisting on adequate documentation of income and assets. As long as housing prices kept rising, it didn't seem to matter."

Message to Washington: Stop treating every defaulting borrower like Mother Teresa.

Ann Coulter's view of Gop:

Unluckily for McCain, snowstorms in Michigan suppressed the turnout among Democratic "Independents" who planned to screw up the Republican primary by voting for our worst candidate. Democrats are notoriously unreliable voters in bad weather. Instead of putting on galoshes and going to the polls, they sit on their porches waiting for FEMA to rescue them.

In contrast to Michigan's foul weather, New Hampshire was balmy on primary day, allowing McCain's base -- Democrats -- to come out and vote for him.

Assuming any actual Republicans are voting for McCain -- or for liberals' new favorite candidate for us, Mike Huckabee -- this column is for you.

.........

One clue that Romney is our strongest candidate is the fact that Democrats keep viciously attacking him while expressing their deep respect for Mike Huckabee and John McCain.

This point was already extensively covered in Chapter 1 of "How To Talk to a Liberal (If You Must)": Never take advice from your political enemies.

Ok, I have an idea!

He's like Ron Paul without the nutburgers;)

Sounds like a lot of quibbles and infighting when all the government you need is outlined black on white in the Constitution.

Paul would probably match MM's idea except for his unheeding bent for politeness.  He wouldn't say "suck it up" but instead say it positively, e.g. "be strong" or something.

Get friends that sit on the strategy groups for some Democrat house members. They're cheering on Huckabee because he doesn't have a chance in hell. They only candidate they're scared of is McCain. Nobody else has a chance of taking on Hillary or Obama.

 
funny how the other side alway has the best candidate all lined up for us,i hate the talk show guys that say i would vote for so and so if i were a republican, no you would not but u think ill buy that garbage! what bussiness do they have telling me who they would vote for other than trying to influence my vote?
 the hole election process has become such a joke and other than taxes nothing is going to change no matter who wins thanks to the lobbyists and interest groups!
right down all the promises they make you now and see for yourself in 5 years what has changed, nothing but your opinion of the outcome will be different.
the sign anyone but hillary is a salute to the fine men and women who serve this country they deserve better than her if for know other reason than the lack of respect she gives them!!!

Isn't it interesting the the only mention of religion in the constitution is it's exclusion from state politics?

The USA is the only secular state in the world(as defined in it's constitution)..In the "First Ammendment"?

[AKIron]

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

Congress can't make laws respecting an establishment of religion. That certainly does not prohibit any member of congress acting on their own religious beliefs even to the point of making laws based on those personal beliefs. To the contrary, the second phrase guarantees them that right.
