As Attention Focuses On 'First-Tier' Candidates, Others Gear Up To Give Them A Fight

[marcodele]

Sorry folks, but never underestimate the power of the Bush Oil Club and the stupidity of voters who still think they elected a farmer/rancher/evangelist. I think a Jeb Bush candidacy would be the Republican's Barak Obama.
Karl Rove would spin slogans like "Finally, a Good Bush" or "B3 B3 B3" so people could chant.
He will run a campaign based on anti-flag burning, anti-abortion, anti-gay marriage and anti-puppy kicking. If you vote against Jeb, you're voting to hurt puppies. He'll hire Hollywood stand-ins to fill in for his kids while they're in rehab. Then he'll show all his supporters he's been born again because he found a potato chip with Jesus' face on it. He'll promise to send everyone a check for either $300 or $600 dollars if they vote for him, along with an autographed wall hanging of the Jesus on the potato chip on velvet. In the final week of the campaign, George Senior will hit the campaign trail sobbing hysterically and apologizing for "Junior." The slogan "Give The Bush Family Once Last Chance" will resonate with voters. I'm the first to predict: Jeb Bush will run - and he'll win.

It's not that Brownback's against judges who "legislate from the bench" - he's against judges who legislate from the bench THE WRONG WAY.

A couple of these conservative guys would be kinda funny - in a Bill Frist kind of way. But then again, the last time I said that about a candidate I was referring to G. W. Bush...and look how wrong THAT turned out to be.

Why aren't they talking about Jeb Bush? Its his for the asking.

The republican nomination maybe, but never the White House. Brother Georgie screwed that up for generations to come. Which is what George the Elder was crying about when talking about Jeb a few weeks ago.

[randalds]

I think I should run for president! Then I could ignore the law and Constitution just like Bush has and do whatever I please! First I'll send Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and Wolfowitz off to Gitmo, without charges or lawyers and hold them forever without a trial. With water-boarding every other day of course (qualifies as their "shower") and nightly manicures (nail pulling).

[shingles1]

Let me get this straight, someone who refers to himself as "tiddsandbeer" is complaining about the "ever thinning moral fabric of this country"?!!!

[gslinger3]

"gslinger2 you will never see newt president he is an idiot."


jerryomara the above comment wreaks of ignorance!!!!


Merry Christmas!!!!!

marcodele,

Re: "The problem is the haircut."

Kucinich has a georgious wife, and she seems to be O.K. with his haircut.

I sense that your comment was in jest, but I'm afraid that it is not far from the truth.

If the American people continue to select their leaders based on such trivial issues, then we truly do have the government that we desserve.

[feelfree1]

jh6379,

Kucinich has some excellent ideas, and I strongly supported him in 2004.

I think that he made a tragic mistake though, by throwing his support to the pro-war skull-n-bones candidacy of John Kerry.

Many 'progressives' voted for Kerry in 2004 out of desperation, and in doing so, helped to legitimize the brutal and illegal war against Iraq. This was a devastating failure, in my opinion.

The Republicans have relegated themselves to irrelevance, and if the Democrat Party remains incapable of standing on their hind legs, they will join the Republicans in this respect.

The extremists that have taken over the Republican pary have routed our economy, and destriyed our military. If the Democrats remain a reactive group, instead of showing some leadership and backbone, they will undoubtedly shoulder the blame and the costs for these failures.

[marcodele]

Kucinich is a brilliant statesman. The problem is the haircut. Nobody will support that.

[feelfree1]

It is comforting to see that CBS is already busy ignoring the candidacy of Dennis Kucinich- the only Democrat running that I would consider voting for.

I sure hope Nader runs again.

Sorry neocons, but you are dead in the water before you ever get started. You blew it and Americans told you so back in November. Newt G was the beginning of the neoconrun and he couldn't get elected as a dog catcher.
Obama/Edwards Edwards/Obama
Clinton/Monica, lets see I believe she was female and over 18
Foley / under age boys
How all you Clinton bashers which one is worse. And I believe he did leave a nice surplus for the neocons to p-i-s-s away.

Look at what Rush and Drudge started.......sheesh:

Listen to Vilsack sometime. I was a Republican for nearly 30 years until 2004, am a native & current Iowan, and have spoken personally with Gov. Vilsack several times, including 6 weeks after being "impacted" by the WorldCom implosion of 2002. He is moderate, mainstream, open, sincere, experienced, and visionary.

On top of that he is very, very bright and can passionately deliver a speech without notes for 20-30 minutes on about any subject. He reads and prepares... That in itself would be a welcome relief from Dubya!

Enough of the Bush dynasty, may it rest in peace. (in other words, Jeb you would have been better than your brother but enough is enough)...

[marcodele]

I really think voters should have the option of "none of the above" which would force one big primary of NEW names.

Why aren't they talking about Jeb Bush? Its his for the asking.

[jonw1115]

Who cares? Let them all throw their names in the ring and let the people decide when it is time. Maybe we should focus on tasks at hand and stop worrying about 2 years from now.

[news3497]

Can anyone be worse than Dub-ya?? Yes, indeed and be forewarned. Mike Huckabee. I was born and raised in California and lived there until I was 45, now I live in Arkansas and have been for 13 years. I have never experienced a worse governor. We have higher taxes, poorer services, schools and teachers that do not perform, terrible roads and we are in the top ten states for people living below the poverty level. Good job Huck!

[gslinger3]

Bring on Newt G for President. This man is as smart as they come and has more common sense then any of these candidates combined, He would make a great President and help to bring back good old conservatism back to washington, Much to the disdain of most of the readers here at CBS News!

Merry Christmas!!!!

[tiddsanbeer]

Besides those who love the idea of destroying the ever thinning moral fabric of this country...Who in the he** would want to be like Bill Clinton....???

Offhand, the only one I can think of would be a dog...SO THEY COULD LIE AROUND THE WHITEHOUSE WITH A WET BONE UNDER THE OVAL OFFICE DESK!!!

This is like a really bad multiple choice test, get it wrong and we all go down
