Thompson's gone, now what?

[Guest TargetShooter84]

Probally first time in years. But have you noticed he keeps em shut during the day time, guess he got tired of looking at that hag.

Thats why Bill keeps hugging those young ladies while campaigning for his wife....we see it all the time now....

[Guest Xman]

Let me ask a question. An earlier post said there will be alot of republicans staying at home on election day. Should we not vote for whoever the Rep. candidate is? Isn't it better for gun owners to have a republican in the white house, even if they are bad, instead of having a tree huggin, gun bannin, hippie freak democrap? <--- Oops.

[Guest Xman]

The views and opinions of " Xman" are not necessarily the view and opinions of TGO and it's affiliates.

Where is Ross when you need him?

Ross is busy letting his company outsource every job he can to Mexico and India.

the problem is that most of the rhinos that are running ARE gun banning, tree hugging, hippie freak democraps.

*sigh*

It occurs to me that electing a Republican may drag in a few more of that party with him.

Would you really rather have Obama and some more Democrat Congress Critters to help vote in his anti-gun plans?

I'll hold my nose and vote for the Republican.

Oddly enough I agree with Mars.

[Guest bulletproof]

How can you not vote for a Republican considering the Democrat will either be Obama or Clinton? Sorry, it just seems that simple to me although the Republicans running don't exactly get me all warm and cozy and excited.

[saintsfanbrian]

My wife and I were discussing this at lunch today. We just wish the party that we are affiliated would grow a pair and actually put up some one with some conviction instead of some one that is a "winner" because they pander to every group.

As Reagan said... A party cannot be all things to all people.

[Guest mc30707]

Haven't you been listening. They all claim to be Reagan conservatives. I think we end up voting for the last republican standing as the lesser of two evils.

[saintsfanbrian]

Unfortunately, that is the truth lately. We have been forced to pick the lesser of two evils as opposed to picking the person that actually can do the job well.

I really wish we Americans had a true gumption and would vote only for people who are not currently in office. Stir the pot up a little bit so that the boys up there don't get too big for their britches as most of them have.

I also wish there were term limits, but ultimately, we are to blame.

I will hold my nose on election day and vote for the republican party to do my part to keep billary or obama out of the office. They both could be white males and I still wouldn't vote for them. Their socialist ideas scare the crap out of me....

Personal recommendation? Sign up for the Hillsdale College Newsletter. Good reading and the recent one compared US to Canada. By a Canadian. We have it sooooooo much better.

Good news.

Both Edwards and Giuliani are out of the race. You have to look for the bright spots where you can find them.

[Marswolf]

Rudy ignored the early stuff like the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshaaaaa. Even South Carolina. History has shown that that isn't a winnable strategy. Even if you don't win them, you need to get out, meet the people, and get your views out.

Of course, I'm not sure that Rudy's strategy wasn't to hide his views. And as I've said before, Edwards is the poster child for tort reform.

It's looking to me like McCain - Obama. I suspect that is good for McCain. As Obama's extreme views become better known, it makes McCain look like Reagan.

[The Rabbi]

I'd say McCain-Hillary, which looks bad for McCain. The woman is brutal and determined. Of course, she also has the highest negatives of any candidate,so maybe that's positive.

I could hold my nose and vote for McCain with a gun to my head. I couldn't have with Rudy.

[Guest jackdog]

I could not and will not for McCain is a damn fraud. AS for the Democrats, This is'bt very good either. I reallise Ron Paul as no chance but I still think he is far more qualified than any one else

[Marswolf]

Ron Paul isn't a fraud, but he is an idiot.

As I keep saying, I don't like any of the candidates, but I'm going to vote for someone who can run effectively against Obama or Hillary. That surely ain't Paul.

And how is McCain a fraud? Because he doesn't follow the nutso religio-fascist born-again Republican line? Hey, I'm not fool enough to do that either. Unlike Kerry, McCain is a genuine war hero. Only time I recall him being a fraud was when he talked about the Confederate flag in South Carolina years ago. I didn't agree with him - still don't. But he did come back and have the ballocks to say he had made a mistake in not answering honestly on that issue. I can respect that, even when I disagree.

I held my nose and voted for McCain in the primary. I was not a happy camper.

But I think Kennedy, Kerry and company know that Hillary is a loser. And she's Bill's loser, not theirs. That's why they are working to get Obama into the nomination. If they go down in flames, they will say it's because Americans are racists, and we need more government programs to combat that.

Hey...think Cheney would agree to be VP for another 8 years?

[Mike.357]

I finally was able to get out and do the early voting thing today. At least that was painless this time in itself.

I was going to give Paul my vote but just really saw that as useless. Better to go for someone else who just might could beat the Dem's.

And today there is a bright side. Guilliani dropping out is almost as good as the Dem's losing. At least with Clinton or Obama you know what you are getting. Rudy is nothing but a pack of deceit and question marks.

Who knows maybe the guy I voted for will win.

I'll have to go along with that, although except for his anti-gun stuff, I agreed with a lot of what he said (not necessarily what he really thought.).
