2012 Repbulican Presidential Nominee: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly




2012 Repbulican Presidential Nominee: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Snidely Whiplash

Yeah, it's still 23 months away, but in this time of hyper partisan politics it seems we genuinely move from one election to the campaigning for the next with little break to rest. The Republican field of possibilities is deep.

Bobby Jindal is one of my favorites, but it seems after one, only one mind you, speech where he wasn't mellifluous, he drew criticisms that he ain't the one. So, here we go again with the "if they don't talk perfectly, they are not presidential timber?" That's crap. Bush didn't speak well but he was a strong president, love him or hate him, and Obama can sure talk a good game, but he's not as presidential as Admiral Harvey Pants. Talking a good game is not indicative of effective leadership. Have we not learned that yet? And what happened to the tried and true being on the lookout for smooth talkers? Somehow a smooth talker fooled 60 million Americans two years ago and that's been a disaster, no?

Michelle Bachmann of Minnesota is a gal I really like but she's not ready no matter how much I like what she believes and the way she presents it. Unlike the lefties, I do not jump on the popularity bandwagon and I sure am not tricked into thinking because I like one, they are presidential material...not just yet for her this time round.

Newt Gingrich gets lots of press on this topic, but here is another pol I do not want to see be the nominee. Why? Because to me he's too much like Bill Clinton. I think he's a bit of a triangulator and we don't need that. As well I believe he's too divisive. Newt had his chance in the Sun and he was rejected. Now is the time to try new blood, as clearly the voters have rejected the old, staid, Washington DC insider mentality, and I believe Newt is the quintessential example of such.
