Is there an option for none of the above?

[Guest Steelharp]

THE unbeatable ticket is Fred Thompson and J.C. Watts...

[Guest jcoyle6]

Not yet? does anyone know how to add to a poll or do we have to scrap this thread and start over? Oops sorry, I guess everyone'll just have to write in on their ballot...

[Guest Steelharp]

I think you need to spell his name correctly in your link; he's pretty close to a "tacky nerd" as of now...

[Guest jackdog]

I would like to see thompson get in the race

[Guest Hyaloid]

Thompson would be thelesser of all the evils thus far.

[molonlabetn]

I would have to go with Fred Thompson... unfortunately not an option yet, but hopefully he will rise to the occassion.

I agree with the Fred Thompson ticket.

He stood up in hollywood and went after all the liberals there that were running down the president..the office of the president and that took GUTS..

Just read that Fred Thompson has cancer. While it sounds mild, I bet this would scare off some voters, and may be a factor in his decision to run or not.

Interesting thing about this election, its possible the Republicans in 2008 could nominate someone more liberal than the Democrats have put forth in a while. The running joke is that Rudy Guliani represents the "pro-gay rights, pro-abortion, anti-gun wing of the Republican party." (That's a pretty small wing, especially since Mitt Rommey had a change of heart on all these issues!) .

Meanwhile, once Clinton and Obama crash and burn when they realize that southern Democrats wont come out and support them, we'll get John Edwards on the (D) side, and he's about as moderate as they come these days --pro-war, pro-gun, and shying away from talking about gay rights or abortion.

Not too long ago -as in during my lifetime- there were liberal republicans and conservative democrats. The former died off in the '90s, the latter flourished to stay alive in the years of the Republican revolution. And now the circle turns once more? Gotta love politikin'.

Here's another one to keep an eye on who seems to be on the right side of many important issues...

Thompson has my vote!

Still trying to figure out how Guliani is on the Republican ticket.

[Smith]

Thompson!

[TGO David]

Of the ones lised, Tancredo. But I'm down with Thompson and J.C. Watts.

[Punisher84]

I'd go for Thompson in a second. Even if it's just because I liked him on Law and Order lol. Seriously though, I think he'd make a great president.

[Guest jackdog]

Ron Paul is a stand up guy and has been for years. He lives strictly by the constitution. He has written some very good papers on what is wrong with the government and is voting record is 100% solid. He may be one of the few politicians in DC who is not in someones pocket. I have written to Mr. Paul on two occasions, and have received a personnel response both times.

just hope Oprah Doesent team up with Hillary:eek:

[Marswolf]

Ron Paul is a good guy, but would get about 1% of the votes. He's a bit too much a strict constitutionalist - like me.

[Guest Idahoser]

Write-in: Fred Dalton Thompson

[Guest Idahoser]

Ron Paul isn't going to get elected, so it's just an exercise...

He has two major flaws that I already know about: he's really anti-war, and he's really anti-death penalty.

[Marswolf]

Libertarians tend to be anti-war. I had a discussion with a guy on a Libertarian board. He doesn't even think we need any secrets in government. I'd guess that anti-war part is pretty much Paul's position? I didn't know that. No way I'd vote for him.

I don't have any idea about Libertarianism and the death penalty. It probably costs us more than it's worth. I think the appeals average about 13 years in this country and it doesn't act as a deterrent. I'd favor immediate appeals extending no longer than six months and then zap them. Just to get them out of our hair.

Found this article.

[molonlabetn]

Yah... Capital punishment and 'the war' are 2 areas which I disagree with Mr. Paul (and many liberterians).

Who's perfect?
