| In January 2008, at a John McCain rally in Columbia, S.C., I asked a number of local politicos to look back to the brutal 2000 Republican primary in their state, the one between McCain and George W. Bush. They had all supported Bush back then, and I asked whether, given the inconclusive wars, runaway federal spending and economic catastrophe of the next eight years, they felt they made the right choice. The answer was yes. They explained that they had strongly supported Ronald Reagan, and then they supported George H.W. Bush because

Comments: We need new people. Not the usual suspects from the "dynasties" in this country. Amnesty for illegals would be guaranteed if Jeb Bush was president. Republicans need to nominate people for their conservative ideology not because they feel they are entitled to it.

We need another Bush as much as we need another Clinton Presidency, but I fear we will get Hillary because we must have the first woman President. The only thing to disrupt it will be if Bill keeps calling his old girlfriends and rape victims - trying to hook up and Hillary finally takes him out with an ashtray or frying pan. That is our only hope!

No more out of touch, out of ideas, out of insight into the real needs of the entire country. Get this Repubs. I will never vote for another loser again. Definition of a loser: anyone who pleases the beltway bubbleheads, anyone who delights Rove, anyone who tickles the Crystols, Frums, Parkers, Noonans, or any other ´experts´. Plus, the ultimate loser is anyone who has the last name of Bush, Christie, Santorium, Gingrich, or is over the age of fifty-five.

The Bush name is at least linked with tax cuts for us peons, and Saddam Hussein with his chemical weapons of mass destruction is gone (if only we had pulled out at that point). As it is, probably nothing can overcome BDS.

#10. I will no longer vote for any Republican. (The only Democrat I have ever voted for was Jimmy Carter. There are many besides me who shared that mental lapse. None before or since - none again ever.) I´m done. If a candidate wants my vote, he or she needs to align with a new party that reflects my values and interests.

#3 - the GOP died in 2012. They won´t realize it until 2014 when the Dems take back the House and no one cares about their candidates. I´ve already called and told my Congressman that he shouldn´t bother to run in 2014 if he votes to raise any taxes and not cut lots of spending.
If it votes like a Dem, the we might as well vote for the Dem.

If the GOP can´t come up with something they stand for, instead of just things they talk about, then I don´t think it matters who they run. Right now the only things I associate with the GOP are perpetual warfare and preaching about social issues that are none of the government´s business to begin with. The Bushes are the epitome of this. The fact that they are even talking about running another one of them convinces me the GOP is finished.

#32, as one who thought Romney the best of the available candidates and admire the man a great deal - I guess that makes me an "enthusiast" - I´ll withhold judgement until I see who else is running.
A solid conservative would be very welcome, but he or she would have to be someone capable of moving this dumbed down electorate and able to withstand the MSM´s frantic proctological exam.
If you know anybody like that then convince him or her to run. That would be a good starting point. And make sure he or she has access to a king [bleep]load of money and extensive organization before even considering moving to the starting gate.
Not so easy now, is it?
Love Palin, BTW, but she´ll never run for prez.

Left-wing magazine Mother Jones made news this week with a report based on a secret recording of a Feb. 2 meeting of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell with campaign strategists. Federal and state law prohibits publication of information acquired through secret recording, but a 2001 Supreme Court ruling gives publishers like Mother Jones a get-out-of-jail-free card. But whoever taped the private conversation can’t wiggle off the hook so easily. Whoever bugged the meeting room or secretly placed a recording device will be in serious legal trouble — unless he or she was one of the strategists.

A Michigan high school canceled a speech by former Sen. Rick Santorum after teachers became outraged over his opposition to gay marriage and threatened to stage protests and a possible work stoppage. Santorum had been invited to deliver a upcoming speech on leadership by the Young Americans for Freedom chapter at Gross Pointe South High School. But the speech was canceled on Monday after the school district’s superintendent heard from angry teachers. “It’s a sad day when liberal educators are allowed to influence young minds – extending free speech rights only to those who share their liberal views,” Santorum said

Through an attorney, Stutzman declined to change her position.“As Attorney General, it is my job to enforce the laws of the state of Washington,” said Ferguson. “Under the Consumer Protection Act, it is unlawful to discriminate

Obama said America needs to start enrolling 4-year-olds to make sure the children are “better prepared for the demands of the global economy” and to help parents save on "child-care costs." After saying the United States needs to “equip our citizens with the skills and training” to fill jobs in manufacturing, energy and infrastructure, Obama said, “And that has to start at the earliest possible age.”

"I think the president has shown he is willing to demagogue an issue and that it is ultimately going to backfire," Cruz said in an interview on Laura Ingraham´s radio show. Cruz´s comments come as Congress debates passing a set of gun control measures meant to reduce gun violence and prevent shooting massacres similar to the one at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.

During Barack Obama´s presidency there have been 32 background checks for gun purchases every minute. Since February of 2009, the first full month of Obama´s presidency, there have been 70,291,049 background checks for gun purchases, according to data released by the FBI. Using February 1, 2009 as our starting date, and March 31, 2013 as our end date, (the latest data from the FBI) Obama has been president for 1,520 days. That equates to 36,480 hours, or 2,188,800 minutes. Divide the 70,291,049 background checks by 2,188,800 minutes and you get approximately 32 checks for gun purchases every minute!

As he rolls out his fiscal 2014 budget on Wednesday, a new survey finds that Americans haven’t felt this confident about President Obama’s handling of the economy since his first year in office. The Gallup poll, which sampled more than 1,000 Americans, found that 57 percent say they have a “great deal or a fair amount of confidence” in Mr. Obama to do the right thing on the economy. That’s up from just 50 percent last year and hasn’t been this high since it hit 71 percent in 2008. Trust in congressional Republicans, on the other hand, remains low.

The media is all abuzz with Kim Kardashian’s pregnancy these days: she fat? Should she really be wearing leather pants while pregnant? What is that cape-like thing she wore the other week? Is she lying about her delivery date? Is she lying about her pregnancy? Why did she wear that dress that made people compare her to an orca whale? All of these are very valid questions, but bring to light another issue: Isn’t there some one else who’s also pregnant right now? Some one who is substantially more important than Kim Kardashian?

Obama´s gun control proposals have run into resistance on Capitol Hill, leaving their fate in doubt.

Beginning a week of high pressure on gun control, the White House on Monday accused some Republican senators of cowardice for planning to filibuster gun legislation without allowing the full Senate to vote on President Obama’s initiatives. “If they oppose this legislation, have the courage to say so on the floor and vote no,” said White House press secretary Jay Carney. “Don’t block it. Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

The sequester may have many across the country singing the blues, but for President Obama, it was all about Memphis Soul. Even with the threat of furloughs and government cuts sparked by the sequester, Obama took the time to enjoy a star-studded concert at the White House tonight. The White House celebration of Memphis Soul music in the East Room--which included special guest appearances by Queen Latifah and Justin Timberlake--is likely to rile Obama´s Republican foes.

Although the first votes on gun -control legislation have yet to be cast, by some measures the National Rifle Association has already won. Obama’s ambitious plans to ban assault weapons and limit magazine capacities are off the table, while the NRA suggested it could support the most likely outcome -- expanded background checks -- as recently as 1999. The NRA claims that the president’s efforts have triggered a fundraising surge and boosted its membership from 4 million to nearly 5 million.
