   So where are all the wonderfully qualified Republican statesmen and women who feel they need to save the country and run for President? Oh ok I thought so. So let’s make fun of the ones that are running. In 2008 the Dems had Hillary Clinton, an awful one term Senator, John Edwards, an awful one term Senator, and Barack Obama an awful one term Senator in absentia. The Dems were in transports of joy. So which party do you think is serious about winning at all costs? Oh ok I thought so.

   I’m with you, Shaun. My default choice for president is now, and has always been, George Mason. Though I do have a strong inclination to that other great Virginian, Jim Bacon.

   two point…we cannot continue to sing Global Cumbaya, we now have open borders and a consumer economy reliant on big business. Manufacturing jobs are being shipped out like exports…it is radical to think we can continue this way.

   Point #2: Thinking that we need to cut carbon emissions to 1990 level is radical…Nothing radical about cutting an EPA dept that is killing our businesses. An Education dept that has degraded our school systems or balancing a budget on revenue we can afford…not a $3.5T spending tab.

   About the candidates…there’s not one that I’m too impressed with either but the alternative is another four years of Obama and the economics of unemployment insurance (or government) creating jobs.

   Bob McD wouldnt run and now he has abandoned Perry for Romney appearances…

   Reagan is dead. We are left with Cain who is under attack by Politico which is unwilling to shed some specifics about their sources involved with waging a smear campaign. And we are left with Romney who is a Wall Street sweetheart.. Pick your poison.

   Shaun:
   Are you announcing? With the way the GOP has been going this year, you’ll be the frontrunner in a week. (Of course you’ll fall into obscurity the next week, but hey….)

   My top pick for the time being is Gary Johnson. I’m content to support someone who has no chance because I can’t support anyone else. I’m with you on the Ron Paul thing – his supporters are his biggest detriment. With that said, there’s certainly a chance that I’ll cast my vote for him over Johnson. Time will tell.

   For about a week I thought David Boaz was considering a bid, but I suppose I was only dreaming.

   Well Shaun, thanks for calling it the way you see it. There is no doubt that not one appears as a credible candidate for President, and one must suspend reality to even consider anyone in the bunch as the next President of the United States. It appears that many of the members of the House who were voted in last time could be on the way out as well. Perhaps there are more rational centrists on this forum and in the nation than I had thought.
