Too bad that Powell was disgraced by Bush's prostitution of him before the UN, eh? He is a Repub I could vote for. But he's now tarnished for life......

Yes that is too bad. You remember the movement in 1996 to draft Colin Powell as the Republican who could overtake Bob Dole for the Republican nomination? The parallel track was to draft him to run an independent campaign. I would have voted for him then. The only problem was that the GOP was (and is) hung up on the abortion issue and Powell is pro-choice. And if you have seen my Electoral College posts, you can see that it was doubtful that even someone as popular as Powell was at the time could overcome the odds against him in an independent run.

I think Powell lost all credibility in the lead up to the war back in 2003. I also believe that he left at the end of Bush's first term because he knew he had perpetuated a lie. This was a sad end to an otherwise stellar career for Powell. And that really is too bad.

Republicans need to nominate a real conservative, someone who will wage a real war, and protect us.

Right! Just what we need! More wars! We already have two unfinished with no end in sight on either front. Bring it on! lol....

[scott4261]

The master plan unfolds.

Just like Hillary.

I don't want John McCain. I don't want Hillary Clinton. But that is where my agreement with you ends.

We need a president with a spine who can get us out of this illegal war. I hope it is John Edwards. I know it isn't Hillary. And it sure as hell is NOT that Bush a s s -kisser, McCain!

I predict Gore will win the next election with a record landslide. In fact, I going to check the line in Vegas.

I would not be surprised to see Gingrich do the same on the Repub side.

I think Gore could handily beat the rest of the announced Repubs, but Newt might be a bit more difficult.

Mr. McCain, in the words of Lisa Simpson, "you've had you moment in the sun and now it's time for you to gracefully step aside."

[karlimhof]

I owuldn't trust McCain with his finger on the nuclear trigger. This guy loses his cool all the time and cannot stand criticsm;

McCain once said to Republican Senator Chuck Grassley, "You know, senator, I thought your problem was that you don't listen. But that's not it at all. Your problem is that you're a ******* jerk"

Real presidential, eh?

[dallison7]

I'm still thinking Gore will let them go on with their infighting and then come in as the elder statesman, make them all look like pretenders to the throne, and take all the marbles.

I agree. Gore will let the nation tire of the current candidates, and without needing the time to introduce imself to the nation will blast the competition away. I predict Gore will win the next election with a record landslide. In fact, I going to check the line in Vegas.

[karlimhof]

You want more the same - "the surge" mentality? - nothing new can be expected of McCain - he's too old, has flipped-flopped till he's dizzy.

[tuckerndfw]

John, you are a bigger loser than George Bush.

It's unlikely you will last until the primaries, so enjoy it while you can. You were stupid enough to cast your lot with George Bush and now you will pay the price for that gross misjudgment.

And, you are way too old to even consider 2012, hopefully, you will enjoy your retirement.

[samrensho]

At his age there is no guarantee that he would live thru his first term and secondly the only difference between him and the Shrub is that McCain can use words of more than two syllables.

[triassic-2009]

McCain is too old for the job.

[scott4261]

Sorry, usmcvn. I should have read your post a little more closely before I posted.

[walt1944-2009]

McCain would be a lousy President if he runs and gets elected. It would be like having Bush back in the White House, without the dictator, power-hungry attitude; that is, if Bush ever does leave the White House. With McCain in the White House, Bush would be hiding in the closet "advising" McCain what to do. The Iraq war would never end and the military would be in worse shape than it is now!

[scott4261]

You guys like Gore? So do I, if he runs he has my vote. If it ends up between McCain & Hillary I won't vote at all. I have voted every since Nixon. The Dems right now are acting like morons. The right wing loves it! The Dems will force themselves to lose votes just because they make themselfs look dumb. "Stupid is as Stupid does"

Oh, and that *******, Bush, is an example of enlightenment? No matter who the Dems field in 2008, the GOP is toast and you can take that to the bank!

[scott4261]

You would have to admit though, I suspect, that he'd come in head and shoulders above the field. Don't you agree?

On another blog, I have already posted my dismay at the length of these campaigns. I will say that Gore is the ONLY candidate who could announce late and still garner enough support to win the nomination.

[formrusmcsgt]

Well, I don't know hoe much of that is really right-wing spin....

Have a good night. A pleasure as always....

[tonyfacade]

This guy's head is stuck in Vietnam, and he flipflopped more than all the Dems put together. I lost interest when McC kissed Falwell's ars.

[formrusmcsgt]

Hillary & Sharpton 2008!! Jackson for Sec of Denfence. Monica for Sec.of State, because She's a great "comuncater", knows how to bring peace to a troubled world. :-))

Had a few tonight have we, bro? Semper fi.

[scott4261]

I should proofread these posts a little more closely...

...and I'm not saying that a woman should not be President....
