The donks are too far left to ever do that.
I’m just not enthusiastic about any of the GOP candidates, and have basically resigned myself to voting for whoever wins the nomination. I will vote against the donks, even if I am less than pleased with the GOP candidate. I fear too many won’t even do that if their candidate isn’t nominated.

Who said anything about voting against the donk candidate? If they ran a fiscally conservative Democratic candidate with actual ideas on how to win a war on terror, I would vote for them.

As it is, I can’t vote for somebody who doesn’t want to vigorously pursue the WoT which I think is the most important issue of our time. Securing our borders and stopping illegal immigration is part and parcel of that. I don’t want to see our neighborhoods deteriorate into nightly car-be-ques and shootouts between rival drug gangs.

I'm not going into the current meme that he's lazy, I don't think that's it. Maybe he's pacing himself? I'm not attacking him, so don't get so worked up, he just doesn't seem interested in the job, and has said almost as much. I just wish there was a believable candidate that actually pushed American values and the conservative philosophy. Someone to lead, and for people to rally around. Newt said it best before the '94 elections, when he promoted the Contract With America, that people want something to vote for if they are going to turn out and vote, not something to vote against. If we are relying on people to vote against the donk candidate, we are already screwed.

I think it’s absurd that he should run around glad-handing everybody in sight. He’s stated his positions. He’s spent weeks traveling around meeting everybody possible in Iowa. He’s been in Florida several times. If you like his positions, fine. If not, vote for whoever you want.

What an absurd thing to say.
If Fred wants the job, then he needs to act like it. I don’t do inevitables.

You prefer, perhaps, the enthusiasm of ol John Edwards?

Fred just doesn’t seem very enthused.

On the other hand, he doesn’t want it badly enough to compromise his personal integrity by shamelessly pandering to every interest group out there in order to get it.

I respect that.

Yes, I do, or else he wouldn’t have made the financial sacrifices necessary to run.

SwampWoman. Do you think Fred wants the job?
