I gave up long ago expecting one candidate to agree with me on all issues, but I'd at least like to feel there is one that I can relate to on most of the major ones. I just don't see any shining stars out there. | You're right. I don't think there are any "shining stars" out there.
Here are my thoughts:
- First of all, the Democrats absolutely cut each other's throats in the Primaries. Then in the Generals, they're sitting ducks and already have too much damage. And they complain that the Republicans are their enemies?
- I just don't think Hillary is electable - and it's because WOMEN don't like her. Plus, she just plain carries too much baggage (and I'm not talking about her thighs). Personally, I think she could make a fine President, because she'd be hard as hell. I'd like to see Iran's President Asswipe face-off with THAT menopausal woman! Talk about a wooppin'! The idiot wouldn't know what hit him!
- I think the Republicans are going to sit and be quiet for awhile. Let the Democrats have their self-destructive circus for awhile. Let the DNC implode on itself.
- I have no idea who the GOP candidate will be. Rudy looks possible, but I think it'll be somebody else - and not Condi.
- I think two things will determine whether DNC or GOP wins the White House in 2008: Whether or not we've succeeded in Iraq, and the economy. If things are good in Iraq, and we're out - and if the economy is strong - the GOP will be in the White House. |
