A Michael Steele Breakfast

[Moon]

John McCain was the best candidate the Republicans had to run for president in 2008...

Too bad the conservatives saddled him with a VP and platform that was unwinnable

GOP lacks a candidate in 2012 with the strength of John McCain

*checks calendar*

It's not 2012 yet.

Not by a long shot. McCain is personna-non-grata anyway. He'll lose to Hayworth.

So disagree about McCain. As for the other...

Simple solution

Name a potential GOP candidate that is a stronger candidate than McCain was in 2008.

McCain was the overwhelming selection of the GOP in 2008...who do you have now?

Name me five potential candidates who have better qualifications than McCain

It should be easy

Since you didn't declare what you are...I will assume the lunatic fringe

Ahhh...now off to the personal attacks. Do as you wish.

Wrong. He was the best that the Repubicans had to offer...while they rejected others that were far better qualified.

I notice an absence of names...as usual with the right

Hard to name names when you don't have anyone.....isn't it?

There are plenty of people that are qualified to run for President. It's more a question of who is willing to run. Why all the feigned interest in the GOP? Pretending you might actually consider voting for a Republican?

When you can't discuss issues, call people names. Got it.

Its just that most people if they are Libertarian, will declare they are Libertarian. Those who are Green Party will proudly say they are Green Party

Those who won't say what they are......lunatic fringe

See everyone...even Frankie can name names

None are remotely electable...but Frankie will name names

rightwinger, as I have stated more than once here (and yes, I know there are a lot of threads, and a lot of posts), I am a conservative. Conservatives have no party.

I guess it never occurred to you to actually ask, rather than making baseless and insulting assumptions.

Indeed. Parties are the bane to this Republic. It's easy to label yourself with a Party...but when that gets in the way of principle the Party moniker gets shed.

Principle is of more import than branding one's self and be bound by the partisan shackles. If people practiced principle over party? We wouldn't BE in this mess.

And that presupposes that you have to be honest about whom you are. Parties belie it.

And I belive the Founders didn't subscribe to the partisan monikers either. You were who you were. Why betray it with a label that could lead to compromise of principle?

To clear up the Michael Steele controversy--the last one anyway--what he has said in his own defense about that is that he was referring to Obama's previous comments in which Obama related criticism for President Bush and the war in Iraq and asserted that the troops, resources, funding, translators, etc. should rather have been focused on Afghanistan. To Obama, Iraq is the stupid war. Afghanistan is the good war.

That's what he meant by Afghanistan being Obama's war of choice.

He said it awkwardly of course and left himself wide open to be misinterpreted. In that sense he is sometimes almost as bad a gaffe machine as Joe Biden. The difference is that Biden is simply shrugged off and forgiven every time he comes up with one of those. Steele is much more visciously criticized, even by his own party.

I think it would be really stupid of the GOP to oust Steele less than six months before his term is up. Let him keep doing his job which is fund raising. What he did was not all that awful. Just keep him away from the TV cameras and microphones while he is doing it.

Blindly following a political party into the toilet is just plain stupid. How much more plainly can I state this. Take bits n pieces out of all of them and maybe we can find some way out of this political cesspool. When anyone "VOTES THE PARTY LINE" you give a few the right to vote hundreds of times for THEIR agendas. No thought required, just another 'voter robot' following mostly someone elses agendas mumbling to themselves, "Duhhh, Okay, just tell me what to do and I'll do it"

Screw the party lines, do your research and vote using YOUR MIND, not THEIRS for god sakes!

Most of us are damn smart enough to make these choices, let's begin thinking for ourselves everyone. Thank You, that is all................. Don't tell everyone or 'they' may shut the internet down.

I think the Republican Party is being abandoned by the boatload the last year and a half.

I also think the Democratic Party is deader than a hammer, and will not rise again in my lifetime.

Independents will rule this country for the next decade or two, with the Republicans slowly regrouping, and the remnants of the Democratic Party bolstering the ranks of the Socialist Party.

It will be a different political landscape we see for many years to come.
