I got turned off Rudy after
1) listening to him talk about how cutting taxes enhances revenue (true)
2) learning that he left billions of dollars in debt for Bloomberg to pay off — with higher taxes.
We’ve been there, done that.
I also am tired of the narrowmindedness and desire to exclude of so-called “value voters.”
Jesus kicked the moneylenders — not the homosexuals — from the temple.
I love Duncan Hunter on foreign and trade policy. (And why is “FAIR” trade scorned by the Club for Growth?) But his “life begins at conception” speech is based on an ignorant definition. A fertilized egg is a POTENTIAL human being, not an ACTUAL human being. And that definition makes a non-abortion alternative — the morning after pill — an act of murder. You cannot begin to know how many women HATE hearing men piously rant on this subject.
My choice for President is Fred Thompson. Speeches that bring people to their feet is not his forte. But I’ve read a lot of his opeds, watched his videos and I think that he moves damn quick when need be
*the video rebutting Michael Moore on health care,
*his response to Chris Matthews being snotty in his first debate
, *his growly rebuttal of the “lazy” charge in his second debate.
*and most of all, he has Reagan’s gift for the memorable one liner: on illegal immigration: “It’s our house and we should be able to decide who enters it.” (Take that Vicente)
I can just see dictators Putin and Kim Jong Il and the Iranian nut job peeing at a Thompson scowl and growl remembering what a Japanese admiral once said of us: “I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled it with a terrible resolve.” Thompson personifies: “Don’t tread on me”. The best guarantor of peace we can have.
The job at stake after all is not bossy nanny nor inspirational preacher. it’s Commander In Chief.
