I would potentially even vote for him and his non pandering, honestly pro-liberty ways, if he could be divorced from the broader republican coalition's anti-liberal side. I included him in the 'cattle' category, but of the wrong type for the culture-warriors.Calivancouverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714105881073755258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-46018924531738944392011-09-28T20:05:02.315-07:002011-09-28T20:05:02.315-07:00Wow, I meant that the eventual NOMINEE is usually ...Wow, I meant that the eventual NOMINEE is usually an individual of accomplishment. We can't judge this cycle until its over. While I didn't like the previous nominees, one couldn't deny they possessed a certain demonstrated capability when they received the GOP nomination. I won't argue about the specifics of the field, right now. Well maybe one, see this about <a href="http://duelingbarstools.com/2011/09/gary-johnsons-resume-in-short/" rel="nofollow">Gary Johnson</a>. You really out to check out Gary Johnson, he is not cut from the same cloth as Perry and Romney.B-Daddyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13880092017105841256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4321422627188917599.post-83490822945105925772011-09-28T17:22:48.772-07:002011-09-28T17:22:48.772-07:00I would really challenge your assertion that GOP v...I would really challenge your assertion that GOP voters are more 'adult' judging by the surprising prominence of all-hat-and-no-cattle candidates in this election cycle. By that I mean Michelle Bachmann (record of achieving nothing but self-promotion combined with encyclopedic mental database of dubious statistics), Rick Perry (precious few accomplishments in his decade of power save 'college tuition for illegals') Donald Trump (I still think he was a troll), Chris Christie (being a loud half term governor does not count as 'cattle'). As for candidates that had 'cattle,' such as Mitt Romney or Rick Santorum, Garry Johnson, Jon Huntsman, or Newt Gingrich, they appear to have been of the wrong breed- the pro-central-power-for-my-favored-causes variety for the first two or the simple refusal of the last three to consistently follow the orthodox movement-conservative line.Calivancouverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11714105881073755258noreply@blogger.com
