If not Obama, then Which REPUBLICAN would u nominate 2 take his place??

Question

We always hear Obama this &amp; that from the Haterz. But, the REALITY is that there is NO LEADERSHIP in the GOP &amp; NO solid alternatives. I would have given you Bill Frist years ago but he is finished. So I asked if not Obama as a Dem, then WHO?? As A Republican (to lead our nation)....

Mikael99 · Answer

Tom Ridge, but he is to moderate for the GOP. Maybe Tim Pawlenty

Mikael99 · Answer

Colin Powell

be easy · Answer

I&#x27;d nominate Mikael, especially because of his awesome thread titled &#x27;Having a high tax not a good thing&#x27;

KOAJ · Answer

mikael - if you like pawlenty, i&#x27;m off his bandwagondoesnt matter what party...just pick someone who isnt for rewarding failure at taxpayer expense...either corporate or individual

Mikael99 · Answer

KoajI do not like him, i just thought of ones that seems semi decent.Colin Powell is the only republican who would have a chance against Obama in 12.

bigkat · Answer

1)Colin Powell, will never be a Republican force because he doesnt BELIEVE IN  or SUBSCRIBE 2 the HATE POLITICS, SCARE TACTICS, &amp; CRAZY FOLK who make up a significant portion on the Republican Base. He is just republican (leaning) on military issues cuz he is career military.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;2) Tom Ridge has already exposed the previous Administration for their covering of illegal activity and war propaganda.&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;Again, THERE ARE NO CREDIBLE REPUBLICANS RIGHT NOW!!

PALIN 2012!!!!!"Drill here! Drill Now!"

dl36 · Answer

Ive seen Colin Powell&#x27;s name put out there...  Perhaps he would be able to make our military stronger and give us a better strategy and leadership with the middle east...Obama seems some what clueless, and Bush/Chaney were great at taking american tax dollars and giving them to privatized military/weapons companies, but did not win the war...In fact Bush/Cheney never got Osama Bin Ladin and really address the 9-11 killers...They invaded Iraq...  It is like WWII with Japan attacking pearl harbor and then we retaliate by invading and taking over the leaders of Korea in response and claim victory...I think at least Powell would have us attack the right target...

Rush51 · Answer

If I recall correctly, Powell wanted to allocate more resources to the War in Afghanistan instead of Iraq.  He was relegated to the corner, though, as he often butted heads with both the strong-headed Rumsfeld &amp; Cheney.  This is why Powell didn&#x27;t stick around to serve as Sec. of State during Bush&#x27;s 2nd Term.

Ap1Bfreetorun · Answer

Romney or Ron Paul (actually, ANYONE would be better than President Obama). Someone that did not apologize to our enemies for former deeds (victories?) of the United States and that was not mixed up with all these Marxist haters of America.

There is some conjecture that obama might not even get the nomination.

Four years of abject loser is four too many. Change for the worse.

Transparency

Becoming an international laughingstock.

Militarily weak

Devaluing the currency

Loss of freedoms, runaway unemployment, impending inflation, an autocracy

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

KOAJ · Answer

no thanks on powell...i cant support anyone who supported obama and threw a fellow soldier under the bus

i dont think anyone knows what powell stands on other than he disagreed with GWB on iraq but towed te party line anyway...no backbone and cant think for himself. if he disagreed that much, he should have resigned rather than testify in front of the UN

I&#x27;m sitting laughing at you numb skulls trying to find someone to represent the Repulsican party, lmao. What you cannot see, because you have so much hatred for the Dems, is that the party is through for a long long time.Trust me on these two things. Number one...Obama wins in 2012. Therefore you have to look to 2016. Number two... by that time the Democrats will have taken off the air the likes of liars like Limbaugh, Levin, Hannity . In fact, they have already begun the process.Sorry Fellas, IT"S OVER FOR YOU !

You have done it Sir. Thats what the world needs, more idiots like yourself.

You might wanna hope its not "OVER" for people like us. I mean without us, you might would be responsible for supporting yourself

bigkat · Answer

The GOP needs credible, intelligent, leadership. The problem is that NO ONE will break with the Republican party line even when it is for the good of the country. I have not heard even one REPUBLICAN SAY, "THERE ARE NO DEATH PANELS" or "THE PRESIDENT DID NOT LIE, HE WAS CORRECT" (For those who dont understand this, one much EARLIER &amp; DEFEATED version of the bill left some wiggle room for an interpretation) CURRENT proposed legislation DOES NOT COVER ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS! PERIOD!!! CNN EVEN DID ITS OWN FACT CHECKING &amp; SIDED WITH PRESIDENT OBAMA. I Would say CNN is in the middle compared with FOX on right &amp; MSNBC on left..

Mikael99 · Answer

I wonder if the hardcore right wing inhere will begin to dream about succession after they get blown out in 12.

I am sure they would be able to find 3-4 states in the deep south where they can build up their government free anti everything utopia.

KOAJ · Answer

again you&#x27;re wrong. hr3200 does not do citizenship checks on someone attempting to get healthcare. there was an amendment in committee as per M Bachmann to make sure hospitals verify citizenship but that was voted downillegal immigrants will absolutely 100% be in this free healthcare planno one has said the Prompter did not lie because he in fact was being dishonest. illegals will be in the bill and this bill will not be deficit neutral. Bama is going to grab 900b through savings on fraud waste and abuse however the Congressional Research Service found that there is roughly 1-2b worth of such savings availablethey will find the 900b by paying less to doctors and hospitals for medicare and medicaid which means less doctors will take those plans (currently 50% do). this can be interpreted as rationing care especially to seniors and the poor who are the bulk of these plansif there&#x27;s been another bill presented other than hr3200, please show me where there will be citizen verification done in those bills. if it isnt, then its a backdoor for covering all people in this country, legal and illegal. just because there isnt a provision allowing for illegals, doesnt mean it isnt true

It is tough to win a National election when your platform is totally devoid of new ideas and your track record is one of miserable failure. Other than gun nut billys and the filthy rich with their low or non-existent tax rates who would be stupid enough to vote for the GOP as they are presently constituted. The next time I hear a constructive policy from them instead of their typical negative sarcasm on every issue will be the first. Maybe their torchbearers will become screaming Joe Wilson,the scholarly Sarah Palin,the brilliant polemicist Glenn Beck, the issue challenged Bill O'reilly or the drug addled Rush Limbaugh. What an outstanding cast of misanthropes. And if any of the deluded GOP' ers in here actually think that their Bible thumping family values hyprocritical base is going to back a Mormon for President, they are even dumber than I think they are. Once they find out that Mitt's ancestors had more underaged wives than they have teeth the Mittster is toast.

So dream on my Neo-Con buddies you wont have much else to do in 2012.
