He won’t gain any traction in the Iowa caucuses or the NH primaries so he’s a non-starter. On the ticket as a VP I see him as a plus.

It will do less harm to the country than the Donks.

My dream is to see the Dems go away, to be replaced by the “realist” wing of the GOP, split off into a new party. Constitutionalists vs. Realists, then.

A birther is one who believes Obama shows very poor manners by not producing the best evidence to a legitimate and reasonable question. So it’s not a strict requirement to prove your citizenship! Well, okay, but don’t expect my vote or support.

Gary Johnson kicked some serious ass against a Democrat in his first political race for Governor in New Mexico and then got reelected. All that in spite of the heavy libtard population in Santa Fe and Taos.

(Southeast NM is good ole’ Republican territory ’cause it’s an annex of West Texas 🙂 .)

Exactly, J.J.,

That’s why I commented in another post here that I’d vote for a yellow dog if he or she is running as a Republican against Obama.

I did some research and of course that popped up very quickly. Not good. Makes me think of King Ahab and Naboth’s vineyard.

But The Donald is no clown. He is a shrewd manipulator whose morals change as his needs/opportunities change. Like J.J. above, I would vote The Donald and even more so not feel too bad about it. It’s kind of a devil’s bargain like that which brought Hitler into power. Hate is a great unifier. Robin of Berkeley surprised me with her thoughts and although she didn’t outright support him, she presents the arguments for doing so:

http://www.americanthinker.com/2011/04/donald_trump_street_fighting_m_1.html

And part of my so-so support is due to the almost universal rising up in condemnation by the elite RINO crowd be they pundits or politicians.

Sarah Palin has not condemned Trump. On the contrary, she has made the statement that the media has focused on only the Birther part of Trump’s platform.

I prefer Palin, Bachman, and Bolton. I don’t prefer the RINO crowd even to the point of voting The Donald over them.

Gary Johnson looks great at first glance! I’m not a libertarian but sometimes they pose an excellent choice because maybe they can appeal to independents. (I actually heard a liberal attorney say something positive about him.)

But again, there’s dubious value to that linear model of electibility. What kind of “excitement” can Gary Johnson generate?

Too much negative baggage, not right on the social issues, too bland, bad past performances (Romneycare), not tough enough on the jihadis, etc., etc.

I am hoping we will have a rousing primary that will allow the best of the field to rise to the top. That said, no matter who it is I’m voting for him/her. Too many conservatives stayed home in 2008. Had the same number of conservatives voted in 2008 as voted in 2004, McCain/Palin may have eaked out a win. Yeah many do not like McCain, but consider how much better off we would be with McCain in the WH and Palin as VP. Just think about it. In spite of McCain’s RINO tendencies don’t you think he might have done some things right? No Obamacare for one. No massive non-stimulus stimulus bill for another. Possibly a better approach to business and surely not as much spending on steroids as we have had. McCain may have some erratic positions but he has been a staunch fiscal conservative as long as he’s been around.

I beg all who want to see Obama gone in 2012 to support with your money, time, and vote whoever the R candidates may be. I don’t like Trump and don’t think he has any chance to win the nomination, but, by GOD, if it’s him against Obama, Trump willl get my support. We have to quit feuding among ourselves and quit looking for the “perfect” candidate. What is important is to defeat Obama and change the Senate to an R majority in 2012.
