Lao-tsu once said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with just one step. Well if that step means a Hillary presidency, well then once again we will have no one to blame but ourselves. I would have thought that losing Congress in '06 was enough of a wake-up call, apparently I was wrong.
Like John Henry before me Id rather die swinging with a hammer in my hand then to betray my conscience and vote for the likes of a Guiliani or McClain, and I like Rudy; in fact I think he’d make a great Secretary of State, just not President. I will not be railroaded into voting for a candidate that is not the best man for the job, in other words.... a conservative.
The stakes are bigger than the White House, the future of the Republican Party is at risk.
If the dems can turn Hillary into a drawlin' Southerner in a NY Yankee hat who was both a Goldwater girl while marching with MLK, an alum of schools that discriminated against Catholics yet now is the new JFK.... well then we can make Duncan Hunter the next President of the United States of America.
EE-Aw!
Mychal MassieGOP leaders: Don't 'Bob Dole' us again

""[The] "Hustle" may have been a line dance we did back in the days of disco, but today it's what GOP leadership and a complicit media are trying to do to the voters responsible for the Republican Party's successes since Ronald Reagan.
Realistic chances of winning notwithstanding, there are no fewer than 13 Republicans in the contest for the 2008 presidential sweepstakes. But to hear party leadership and the media spin promote the candidates, one easily gets the impression that John McCain, Rudy Giuliani and Mitt Romney are not just the only candidates, but that McCain and Romney are the opening act for Giuliani as he awaits his coronation.
This is a ruse, a con, and in brief, an attempt to hustle the voters. GOP leadership is trying to "Bob Dole" us. They have, in effect, met in the smoke-filled back room of a private club and decided amongst themselves who they want in 2008. Their problem is how to deceive the voters into believing that said pick is of the voters' choosing.
Their solution: hand pick the candidate, truncate the primaries, shove the candidate down our collective throats vis-à-vis the media's promoting, interviewing and discussing (ad nauseum) McCain, Romney and Giuliani, but in such a way as to always have Giuliani shine brighter. Then, when he has garnered the nomination, we the voters will be told, "Yes, it is true he is a little more moderate than we may like," but if we don't vote for him, Hillary will win and hell will freeze over.
To which, allowing that same has no basis in theological truth, I respond, "If there be a hell on earth, and it freezes over because I vote my conscience and Hillary wins, I'll walk on ice until the party lets the voters truly have a say."
Now, my scenario may not be completely accurate, but you can bet I'm not far off base. One thing is for certain – of the 13 Republican candidates, only three of them are being touted – and don't tell me it's the fault of the other candidates, because a week ago this same media (Fox News included) was trying to convince us that the corpse of Anna Nicole Smith was newsworthy.""

Obviously i want Hunter, i brought him to The Aurora, but if it's not him can i vote for someone other than the republican nominee knowing that Hillary could win? I just don't know...
I wont do it. Fuck them.
Then again living in New York allows me the luxury of voting my conscience. I always vote for the extreme right wingers and since Buchanan aint running it looks like its the Constitution Party in '08.
Rudy will be tricky as he's the only one with a chance in NY, but I just cant see myself pulling the lever, but as you said Hillary v Rudy will be a very tough decision.
...But Im not gonna do it. Wouldnt be prudent.
I want Mitt, I want Mitt!
Here's the thing with Mitt and Ill state the obvious, the flip flopping.
Here's the not so obvious. Im not so certain thats a bad thing; it could be, but policy wise also a positive as people that change positions have a tendency to be very adamant about their new beliefs as if to prove a point.
...then again he could be full of shit.
