Colin Powell could beat him but he is not willing and the far

Powell has too much baggage with the UN testimony. Too bad, since
he's
a decent, thoughtful guy who couldn't win against Cheney.

You could use the same argument as fleabaggers used on McCain,
Powell is
too old.

Powell is just one year younger, but he isn't senile and isn't an
angry old man.

Pretty sure Obama is going to be a one term dodo if they can come up
with anything 1/2 baked.

I would welcome a Republican presidential candidate who would be a
rational, viable choice, which would be helpful for a healthy,
honest,
debate about the important issues facing us.

I don't see one around that has any chance of getting the nomination.
It think it's more likely that it'll be someone who is either extreme
and ignorant or extreme with a lot of baggage.

Hey, go for it if he wants. I would vote for Powell, he is a
republican
military, sure to kick some ass.

Powell is an intelligent former statesman and general. He's about as
anti-war as you can get.

I doubt he would be interested at this point, given his age and the
baggage.

As far as I am concerned "baggage" is really experience. That is
particularly true in this case.

I would really prefer someone who wasn't from the Bush/Clinton/Bush
legacy. I am just not sure who it would be,

I know I will be reminded I can't vote but here goes...

ANYBODY but Obama. We got the bottom of the pond with that one.

If you seriously believe this country would be better off with Senile
McCain and Brainless Palin at the helm, you are even dumber than I
thought. The thought of having the imbecile Palin a heartbeat away from
the presidency should have been enough for any responsible adult to vote
for Obama and Biden.

Michele Bachmann wants to be the GOP candidate in 2012. She has a
reasonably good chance of winning the first Republican caucus, the one
held in Iowa, where the Republican voters literally are dumber than a
post. Bachmann, of course, panders to extremist christians and to the
teabaggers, the mindless voters who control the hierarchy of the GOP
these days.

Nothing would please me more than to see that fruitcake succeed in the GOP.

Observing politicians for some 30+ years, I would take an honest jackass
over a brilliant deceptive criminal like personality any day.

And this does not go to say McCain is a jackass. I like him, but think
better choices exist. Rand Paul/Palin would be good. Problem is they
are honest and big money will find a ways to prevent them from getting
elected.

Just find an honest one, I would even vote dmocrat if they were HONEST
and in fleabagger infested.

Because DC is loaded with corruption, and a house cleaning is long over due.
