This is a good thing. We need new and Conservative blood. Can you say Scott Walker?
If we live long enough, we all have regrets. But the ones that nag at us the most are the ones in which we know we had a choice.

People need to look a little deeper into Walker before they jump on his bandwagon. He's done some changing recently that makes him not so palatable to this conservative. His support for common core for one example.

I doubt we will find anyone that is "perfect".

It doesn't matter what Republican runs, because if they aren't perfect, voters will vote for some third party loser to "send a message", and give the election to the Demoncrats like they have the last two
One shot, one kill........ It saves a lot of ammo!

I doubt we will find anyone that is "perfect". Very true. Conservatives come in varying levels of conservatism and with widely varying ideals. That's why no one candidate seems to be able to satisfy enough of us to win enough votes to take the big house. We tear down anyone who doesn't fit our ideals rather than getting behind our only chance en mass. My previous remark is a good example.

There is still plenty of time for it to shake out. I just hope we find someone that will be "perfect" enough. (Grin)

Heres Walkers voting record: http://www.ontheissues.org/Scott_Walker.htmSeems like hes the best the republicans have so far As for Romney, his best shot was in 2012 and that didn't go so well.

It doesn't matter what Republican runs, because if they aren't perfect, voters will vote for some third party loser to "send a message", and give the election to the Demoncrats like they have the last two There are plenty here on 24hr who won't vote or will vote Libertarian or whatever. Some people can't do simple math to add up what that does to help the Democrat win. They complain about how so many will vote Dem for the 'free' stuff yet they vote Dem by not voting for the only other candidate with any chance to win.

all the republicans have to do is run a candidate that isn't too far right and a little moderate. he would get a lot of the democratic vote. there are a lot of blue collar dems that are tired of the damn pussyfooting of the current admin. people are too damn sensitive and the dems are moving too far left. just my opinion. I'm one of those blue collar dems. god forbid Hillary runs and wins, i'll have to hibernate for 4 years.

Don't confuse being a libertarian with "Libertarian". Anybody that's not a libertarian is an idiot.

I doubt we will find anyone that is "perfect". that is the key to the last several Republican defeats in the contest for President. If a given candidate is not 100% pure (in our personal view), we won't vote. Millions of Republicans sit out election after election. By doing so, they guarantee a dhimmicrat victory. Personally, I examine each candidate's position. I look at what they have said, and what they have done. I look at who they get money from, and who they hang with. Then I flip a coin, and try to pick the guy that will hurt me the least, if elected. I think once or twice, since I started voting in 1964, I have guessed correctly.

Oh don't worry there are lots more moderate d-bags the insiders will get nominated for us; I have utmost confidence they'll pi$$ away this easy win as always.
