Who would you have rather had for presidential nominees?
« on: July 29, 2008, 05:44:56 PM »
Well, for Republican and Democrat.


Not that the ones we have are bad, but who would you have wanted instead of who we have?


Me personally, Mitt Romney for Republican and (my view has severly changed since Jan, Feb, Mar....) Democrat, Hillary now, it seems she actually worked to get where she is and seems less extreme than Obama.

The wind for their watcher, the wave for their shroud,
Where palm and pandanus shall whisper forever,
A requiem fitting for heroes

Ron Paul has shown himself to be such an idiot.


As for a candidate of my choosing?  I choose myself.  No one else is capable or willing.

Fred Thompson
Duncan Hunter
Newt Gingrich

Closest thing the Democrats had even possible would be

I'm pretty sure George Luz never said "craped".  Not even in France.

Rep:  Colin Powell
        Mitt Romney, VP

            vs

Dems:  Michael Bloomberg
          Wesley Clark, VP



THAT would be a race.

Dems would get flushed though.

I'm almost certainly going to vote for Obama since the Republicans deserve to be punished for the Bush presidency.

But I would have voted for Rudy Giuliani.  I think he's one of the very few true heros among our politians, and I knew who he was and what he did long before 9-11, even though I live in Indiana and grew up in Michigan, and have no ties to New York.  He really was "America's Mayor".  I know he's no saint, but the best heroes have their own faults and I'm fine with all of his.

Most of all, I agree with Rudy's stances on just about every issue you can name, other than him being a Yankees fan.  IMO he would have made the best President.  McCain should make him his Veep.

On the democratic side, I can't really say there's anyone who stands out.

Ron White says you can't fix stupid. I beg to differ. Stupid will usually sort itself out, it's just a matter of making sure you're not close enough to become collateral damage.
