So by extension the best candidates in 2012 were Herman Cain and Michelle Bachmann, since they were regularly attacked. Do you agree?
Neither one of those two could win a primary, much less the presidency.
Reagan-esque?
Hmm...I am not so sure. I don't believe he has the compassion Ronnie did. I also think Cruz is just plan meaner. Also a notch or two to the right on the political spectrum. Damn near a reactionary.
My guy among the GOP hopefuls is Marco Rubio from Florida. I also think he has the best chance to beat Hillary in the presidential election.
Rubio will be much better at getting the Independent votes than would Cruz, and also is almost assuredly more appealing to centrist women, some of whom would vote for Hillary if she were coming up against Cruz, even if they really don't like her that much.
The GOP better watch out. They are pretty fractured right now, what with the Tea party and all, and there is a pretty big gulf between their far right and their moderates. (Like Cruz and Rubio.) If they don't get it together and coalesce behind a solid front runner your next POTUS is going to be Hillary, who will say anything to win..just like her hubby did.

As one democrat woman said, his problem is that he reminds women of their first husband.

I have a theory about Libs and the pathology that allows them to make such ridiculous statement: their synapses are all screwed up when it comes to political/critical thinking. So they believe that you can simply say your are a women and, Bam!, you are a she, or "Bush brought down the Twin Tower" when we actually watched them fall because of two planes, or "We are friends to Israel" while divulging Israel's nuclear secrets and enabling Iran to pursue its nuclear intent, or "now is the time the oceans begin to recede and the earth begins to cool" or "Hillary is a rich, Middle Class babe," or "its best to outlaw DDT and let 20 million die in Africa via malaria than fight the Greenies in this country," or "tobacco is more addictive than heroine," or, "its a good idea to turn all the drivers in Colorado into Stoners, I mean what could go wrong?" or "we will never run out of money so why a balanced budget," or "there is no God except when we choose to quote Him on the issue of welfare for the poor." Get it? And, oh, case closed !!!!!
Don't forget to mention that happened after Jimmy Carter forced the pro American/pro western Shah of Iran into exile.

Chrys doesn't like being reminded that Reagan supplied the Ayatollahs in Iran with modern weapons, in a naive belief that would make them return hostages.
Appeasement never works.
Ah, the bratty kid defense; "I didn't want to give military aid to our enemies, but Carter made me do it by not invading Iran!"
Technically, Reagan wasn't reallly responsible for it. When questioned in the Iran/Contra investigation, he admitted that he couldn't remember whether he had authorized military aid to our enemies or not. He was probably telling the truth; by that time, his illness had made it hard for him to remember things.

Yet a conservative like yourself is fine being dishonest. All drivers in CO are not stoners, nor is anyone trying to make them so.

The Left would be fine if all in Colorado were stoners . . . . but the point of my list is the silliness and nonsense that passes for "reality" when one becomes a liberal.

it does not matter what Party gets elected as both will continue to DE-humanize with poverty and or social agendas. The wealthy will increase. But sadly they do not realize they too are a part of this.
I prayed intently about politics. Jesus revealed to me to set my heart on HIS Holy governance. Not man's. I am a Christian who lives in America. So far America is relatively safe for Christians. But this is waning. I have also realized the hatred for Jews and Israel and Christians is escalating. The escalation really picked up about 10 years ago. There are those who claim to be Christians who despise the Jews and the Nation of Israel. Thus, they cannot be of our Messiah, Jesus. As there is no hate in Jesus. Only Love.
