A Pistol Packing President?

[Dietrich]

Why not? The standards have never been lower. The door is open to just about anyone or anything now.

Man,if you never speak another word of truth in your life,you just said a mouthfull of it.

The female candidate's husband runs a religious "Gay Conversion Clinic".
Wynn

An interesting and obviously objective phrase. Gotta watch out for those religious fanatics who actually act in a manner consistent with their beliefs. I would venture to guess that gun-totin' Governor Perry may have similar views to "the female candidates husband" if you dig a little.
...just sayin'

[wyntrout]

I'm always "worried" about any people with strong beliefs who want to make everyone else conform to those beliefs.

I'm very conservative and Libertarian about most things. I don't want the government intruding in my life more than the U.S. Constitution intended.

The far right and religious fanatics have been around since cavemen needed some kind of reason for lightning and thunder. I don't want to get into religion and social justice. I had enough religious training and indoctrination growing up, to know that most people just seem to know what's convenient to them and their immediate family's religious upbringing.

There is a lot of good in the Bible, as in the Koran, but people have seized on particular portions and perverted the original meaning to justify all kinds of bad things... like the Inquisition, Witch Burnings, the Crusades, AND "Blue Laws"!!

The Muslims are doing the same thing and they don't have decent schools in many of the countries and areas, where all education is taught by these perverted extremists, who have found a way to get a good supply of suicide bombers by promising them extravagant rewards in the afterlife for becoming martyrs for Allah.

I don't want to see us return to the days where women were subjected to butchery in alleys and such, rather than being forced to have a child... for whatever reason.

Since LBJ started the War on Poverty with his Great Society back in the 60's, the family has been torn apart and three or so generations of people know nothing but all of the freebies they can get having all the babies they can. It's a shame that all of these freeloaders can keep voting for the bastards who promise them more and more "rights" that are turning the producers and workers in our society into SLAVES to care for all of these parasites.

Our country is turning from the leader and best hope for humanity finding a toehold in space, to becoming a giant nanny state... reducing everyone to the lowest common denominator until our society fails completely and we are all equally with NOTHING!

All of our "eggs" will remain in this one fragile basket and any cosmic calamity like a large asteroid or solar phenomenon can destroy all life on this planet. There are a lot of scenarios that could lead to this and all of our emphasis will be on making sure no one has any more than anyone else, no matter how little the contribution or drain on resources any person has.

Jus' sayin'

Uh, wyntrout....I'm afraid I have to pretty much agree with everything you've said today. Except that I don't really like Palin at all.

[wyntrout]

She does get on your nerves... and WAY too much "exposure"... like our SupremeTeleprompter Reader Highness.

I like Palin.Do I think she has what it takes to be a good president?No,I don`t.But I like her.She`s got grit.Moreso than a lot of people.She`s been sh#t on by the media,the Democrats and some she thought were friends.Still,she perseveres.

[yqtszhj]

I think i'm to the point I will vote for anyone that is not the current president. I just can't see it being any worse.

I might as well vote against any other elected official in Washington too except for the TEA party rebels that are swimming against the flow. I'm not necessarly pro or con TEA party but some of those guys don't care if they get re-elected or not so to me it seems like they will be less in someone elses pocket that the "old timers." They are there to represent their district.

The libtard continues "No man is above the law, not even the president. If applicable law bars him from carrying a gun, then he must obey," Winkler told The Ticket.

...

So does that mean the Secret Service should not be carrying handguns to protect the President while he is in D.C.?

I've known a lot of left-wingers over the years (I hang out with all types), and two things about them I've noticed over and over is that:

#1. They universally think that laws are great, and the more of them the better, but they are really just for the "other guy" whose behavior obviously need to be controlled.

#2. Consistency is mandatory - unless it gets in the way of some social engineering theory - in which case an exception is justfied so that things work out according to the theory.

I was pretty ok with her up until the point she resigned early as Governor. I thought that was very self serving. And much of what she's said since strikes me pretty much as a bit insincere and politically, well, self serving.

We have a real problem and, looking back, I think the well meaning Tea Party folk really screwed the pooch. I admire idealism but am old enough to understand practical, compromise, and reality. The Republican party is seriously fractured and the hard line posturing in order to keep their base by those swept in on the last election wave would be pathetically amusing if it wasn't so dangerous.

I like Rick Perry. I don't agree with some or maybe even a lot of his positions. But he's plain spoken, even more politically incorrect than me, and appears to not have destroyed Texas over the last 11 years as its governor. Best candidate? Most probably not, but as Bawanna noted, the Obama opposition bar's pretty low at this point.

Soap box, off it now. This is all wyntrout's fault. He got me started.

[wyntrout]

Mea culpa, I guess.

My wife and I have often discussed the best team... President Newt Gingrich and Vice President Condoleezza Rice are the two we think would be best, but that won't happen.

Almost, anyone would be better than the worse-than-useless one we have. I'm trying to be nice and not say what I really feel about that legend-in-his-own-mind Marxist-Socialist-Progressive-thinks-he's-elite cat-squeeze we have in the office. I'm afraid that he's going to make legal voters out of all of the illegal aliens/immigrants and they, along with all of parasites already in the Demo-c-RATS' pockets, will re-elect the ########(fill in your own expletive). I'm just glad that I didn't have to serve with him or Clinton as the Commander-in-Chief.

I'm not crazy about all of the stuff I've heard about Perry, especially the anti-abortion and gay-marriage ban. Abolishing the 16th and 17th amendments are great... those were Progressive changes that gave the Federal Government too much power, especially taking away the STATES' representation by Senators. That was a purposeful balance put there by our forefathers to LIMIT the Federal Government.

But, I like a lot about him. I think that he has changed for the better. A real Texan, pistol-toting Aggie can't be all bad. I think he'll be better than that Milquetoast from Mass!

Come on, don't hold back. Tell us how you really feel.

Gingrich/Rice would be interesting. I could go for that instead of who we currently have running (or should I say putting on) the show.

[ripley16]

My dream ticket would be Megyn Kelly and Sarah Palin. Between them they have more balls than any other male politician currently in office or running. Tough, smart and take no crap attitude... Oh yeah! Run ladies, run.

[jocko]

Megyn, all the way for me, she isnot phoney, Sarah is as phoney as a 3 dollar bill. Megyn absolutely looks fantastic after having that kid to. Never look better. Sarah, should be in the back of the building "cleaning fish" and gutting Moose while watching war planes take off from the Russia air base. All she is in this sh-t for is the DOE, RAE ME part, she could care less, or she would have stayed on as govenor. She has an ego bigger than Obama even. Balls on a woman don't get it with me-- personally.

She won't run, for she has finally learned to read and understand what POLLS mean.

Jesse Ventura

In that case maybe Jesse Ventura can jump in.....

While this is not likely, and despite his being seen by many people as just a "dumb wrestler," Ventura had one very positive quality that virtually no other politician has: He said what was on his mind - usually things that were unpopular but needed to be said - instead of just saying things to be elected or re-elected. I don't think he made many friends among either Democrats or Republicans, but it was fun to watch the party regulars fume.

Ventura did and said a lot of dumb things, but I'd take him any day over the guy who's currently in the White House, or Minnesota's current governor (the one who shut down the state government for 3 weeks because he wanted to "tax the rich" yet ironically just wound up hurting innocent state workers who are oddly enough among his staunchest supporters).

And I can sure picture Jesse as the type who would be totin' a gun, although I don't know his position on that issue.

(I'm a former Minnesotan who still has some interest in what goes on there.)

[getsome]

I'm feeling pretty good about Rick Perry after last nights debate and I really loved his answer when previously asked how he feels about gun control...His answer was that he uses both hands for more control...:59:...gotta love that!!!!...I hope he will pick Herman Cain as a running mate as I have much respect for Mr. Cain and his views on running a successful business and his stand on the Fair Tax...I thank after one term as VP he would be in a much better position to go all the way to President in the next election if the Country can last that long...
