An Ol’ Broad’s Ramblings
Republican Debate - A Day After
I recorded the debate last night. There’s only so much I can handle of politicians, y’know. So, I’m watching the debate today. My question? Why am I torturing myself?
I gotta admit, I loved the song at the beginning. Pretty cool, and quite creative.
I have to tell ya, what I’ve seen so far, Republicans are screwed. If we could take the best parts of all the candidates (yes, even Ron Paul), roll them all into one, we’d have a really good candidate . At the beginning, I was wondering when someone was going to break into a tap dance. And it seems a few of them can’t even be civil to the others. Pathetic. Those who wouldn’t bother to even look at the other candidates slipped some serious notches, in my esteem.
Here’s what I want, in no particular order:
1) Stop the indiscriminate abortions. A million babies every year have been murdered, advocated by those who are anti military, anti death penalty. Women who should be nurturing are at the front of the pack, selfishly insisting it’s HER body. Pfft. It’s not a breast reduction y’know. I’m very confused on that one.
2) Secure our dadburn borders. Oddly enough, this is part the ‘war on terror’, at least in my mind. There are drug dealers crossing our borders bringing terror to our streets. Why can’t this be addressed?
3) Leave the guns alone. They aren’t yours, they’re mine, and you can’t have them!
4) Taxes. It’s not YOUR money. You can’t spend it better than I can, and I’m pretty good at it. If you want to fund a bike path in your area, hold a fund raiser, don’t ask me to pay for it. I tend to fall off bikes, and am not going to use it.
5) I want to WIN in Iraq. America doesn’t surrender.
There’s more, obviously, but that’s a start. Now, when they give me a candidate who covers, all my criteria, let me know, ok? I’m not looking for a ‘candidate’, I’m looking for a President. A leader. Someone who will not kowtow to a bunch of whiners. Someone who doesn’t back down just because someone doesn’t like us. Boo freakin’ hoo. I don’t care if you don’t like us. We’re great, you’re not, get over it.
Now, tell me what you are REALLY going to do as President. I don’t want the “I promise” b.s. I want results.

Team Elephant does seem to have more viable options though. The Dems really only have three, and that is only if you consider Edwards a real option. Personnally between him and Clinton I have a harder time decideing who the bigger B@tch is.
As for your guys, these are what I see with your top candidates,from a viability standpoint keep in mind I do not consider myself a conservative, so these opinions mean squat.
Gulianni seems to have a lot of support, his stances on the issues considered your core values are less then lacking.
Romney I think will get as much opposition from the right as he will from the left, and it has everything to do with his religion, (wrong as I think that is) not necessarily his stances. Sorry Calvin
McCain…Next
Thompson…I know this maybe blasphemous here, but I think his campaign so far has been more sizzle than steak. He says what his supporters want to hear, but at the same time I cannot get past the fact that he is an actor, and may knows how to please an audience.
Huckabee…Honestly do not know enough about him to form an opinion.
Paul…Based on of your earlier posts he seems to have the White Supremists vote. I maybe morbidly curious to see if he would actually stand at the end of one of their endorsed ads, saying I am Ron Paul and I approve this message. He would probably fair better as an Independant.
You’re right about Paul, but does the name Perot ring a bell?
Reagan was an actor too. Ok, he wasn’t a great actor, but still….he made a great president. Romney has a lot of good points. Shoot, they ALL have good points. I want to know which one has the most good points. LOL
Yep, y’all have a tough choice alright. You’re top two don’t have serious leadership skills. Sorry, but that’s the way I see it. A couple of years in the Senate, and the rest of the time campaigning. Hmmm…..
I agree with your assesment of the Dems. I may go with the President from Independance Day as a write in.
LOL But remember, he was also in Casper.
And Spaceballs!
Ohh Good call on Spaceballs..Much better write in possibility
Oh jeeez!
