    I like George Allen. Though his office kind of gave me the run around on why he hasn’t seen fit to request a vote on the Virginians nominated for the Medal of Honor.

    Giuliani - good. But against 2nd Amendment Rights. I also hear he has skelotons in the closet (whatever that means).

    Pataki and Romney. Republicans for the North East - I guess. Both awful on 2nd Amendment rights also.

    Newt? I like him. Doubt he could do it though.

    McCain? NO F***ING WAY!

    The rest? I don’t know.

    I think the Dems could do well with Mark Warner who just left the Virginia Governors mansion. Strong on 2nd Amendment. Good fiscal sense. I wonder if the Dems are smart enough to see it?

    You know what cracks me up here? By 1998 George Bush was a nobody, a non-entity in people’s minds for Presidency.

    These guys are the front runners not due to personal choice or hope by voters, they aren’t what we want. They’re what we’ve heard of.

    Canelone. Thats true.

    But at just about that time my secret service neighbor told me George Bush was going to run and he was the front runner. Something NO press reported! He lives across town now so I don’t get that kind of info anymore. Too bad. I wonder who has the inside track as far as the party elites are concerned? I think it’s Allen. But hey, as you say - who knows?

    You know who’s missing from this list? Condi Rice. I would vote for her.

    Great system for “real” exposure without the fluff and MSM. Condi may not want the hassle - she wants time to watch football!

    Yah - I know. But she’s brilliant dammit. I wish, I hope she will run.

    My first priority when voting is are they pro-life. Condi looses my vote on that point in a heart beat! All the rest, I don’t know a whole lot about the others except Huckabee and Tom Tancredo, who is very much against Bush on the subject of illegals, and “guest worker” programs. (What “guest worker” really means is, “Be our guest…steal our country from us!”) By the way, I have a photo of myself shaking hands with Tom Tancredo who visited Des Moines, Iowa during the Polk County Republican caucus last month. He really does understand the ilegal crisis–Bush doesn’t! That “drunken sailor” has betrayed us, the religious and social conservatives that put him back in the White House in 04! I wanted Alan Keyes in 2000 over Bush very much, because besides being totally commited to being pro life, Keyes makes no bones about the fact that he’s for eliminating the IRS and replacing it with a simple national sales tax. Unfortunately, Keyes lost me when I fouind out that he supports reparations for slavery, which shocked me, because that sounds so anti-Keyes to me! I’m just glad that Bush can’t run again because he’s proven to me that he’s a phoney concervative. The libs think that he’s a conservative only because liberalism was hijacked in the 1960’s by the radical hippies and communists and socialists. These kids today that call themselves liberal have no clue what they truely are, which is national socialists and soft pedaled communists! There was one person that I wish was on your list, and that is Tom McClintock! I’d vote for him in a heartbeat, if Tom Tancredo isn’t on the ballot!(Better yet, have the two run together!)

    I’d like to see TRUE conservatives like Tomcancredo and Tom Mcclintock run, not Kool Aide drinkers like Condi!

    Michael and Micael - sorry - I don’t really know much about the people you’re talking about.

    Kahn,
    Michael here…sorry about the typo, Michael and “Micael” are one in the same…I posted in a hurry the other night on very little sleep! And it’s Tancredo, sorry! Anyway, you can read aout congressman Tom Tancredo at http://tancredo.house.gov/,
    and Senator McClintok at http://republican.sen.ca.gov/web/mcclintock/.

    I don’t mean to sound so negative on president Bush—I did vote for him both times, and I do appreciate his tax cuts, and I will support the Iraq war until the day I die, but he spends like a drunken sailor on stuff that will not benefit the avereage American (Like going to Mars and that whole Medicare pork thing) and there’s that whole thing about our pourous borders and his gimmic called, “Guest workers” baloney. What ever happpened to the Republican Revolution of 1994? President Bush, I’m sorry, but the way that you spend like a Democrat, you’ve proven that you’re NOT another Ronald Reagan!

    I’ll read up on them. It will be interesting to see what happens as we approach ‘08

    […] Matt Margolis is running a poll that is showing dismal negatives and weak positives for every conventional contender who has expressed interest in running in ‘08. […]

    george bush has many aces to play such as ” I didn’t build, or design any levees,” nor did I sell any real estate 23′ below sea level and I george will sue those agents not disclosing this information although I george cannot seriously believe anyone would buy such a place. and what became of the billions of dollars donated by almost everybody i know. this money alone was enough to buy out everyone sunken treasure. these real estate agents should be prosecuted. Iraq; did not the Filthy Stinking U.N. sent us to Iraq. Let us now move the U.N. to some other country, Iraq perhaps. George has the answers right under his nose but he will never know since he doesn’t read his e-mails and whats worse, he doesn’t my e-mails. I’m his boss, i do not have control of my employee, and i’m not happy. the first item on the agenda of a democratic congress is the impeachment of george bush and i must say i don’t like being ignored after i pay so much tax.
