Bill Kristol And Laura Ingraham To Potential GOP Presidential Candidates: Run Now Or Never

Conservative commentator Bill Kristol appeared on Laura Ingraham‘s radio show and the two were in complete agreement that any viable Republican should run for President in 2012 and not even consider waiting another four years when their political chances to win might be better. Kristol and Ingraham were so adamant that America needs a Republican to win in 2012 that they threatened considering never to support certain candidates again if they’re too cautious about running this time around.

Ingraham’s warning:

“If you agree that the country is sliding into an abyss and you have the ability to run a strong campaign, and yet you stand on the sidelines as if you’re pretending you’re on the injured reserve list, then I say don’t ever run, because this is the go-to election.”

And Kristol backed her up:

“I’m getting a little tired of these quotes from [Mike] Huckabee, [John] Thune, and [Jeb] Bush and everyone about how tough Obama is going to be and they think maybe they prefer to do it four years from now, and you know, I don’t think they ask our soldiers and Marines whether they prefer to deploy two years from now or this month to Afghanistan and this is really kind of important for the country.”

Given that potentially strong candidates like New Jersey Governor Chris Christie and Congressman Paul Ryan are both relatively young and could benefit from additional experience before they mount any national campaign, maybe they should be spared the condemnation of Ingraham and Kristol? However, for any other experienced Republican, the message from Ingraham and Kristol seems to be loud and clear: run now or never.

Listen to the clip below from The Laura Ingraham Show:

2012, Bill Kristol, Laura Ingraham, Republicans

Every election is of course the most important election ever.

The Repubs are smartly waiting until the last second to announce so that the Mainstream Media has less time to destroy them and clear the field for Obama, like they did in 2008.

Hilarious!

Not one of you teabagged morons have the honesty to admit Moose Boogers is a failure, a disappointment, and and embarrassment!

Then look at the rest of the gNOpigs!

Ron Paul won the pupularity contest at the circle jerk CPAC, two years!

Then the imbeciles at the Fox gNOpig Propaganda Network, Kristol and Laura Ingraham, pretend nothing happened.

HILARIOUS!

Yes.

SMART MOVE!

How right you are! That’s why the Tea Party so frustrates the legacy media- there’s no real Tea Party leader (other than Michelle Bachmann designating herself as such, sort of).

The Dems have already started “opposition research”- the day after the 2010 elections- and I’m sure are distributing talking points against each possible candidate even as we speak. Must cover up for Obama and slander any other candidates….

Perhaps they’ll wait as far as up til the Monday before the election, just to really throw that LAMESTREAM LIBERAL MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 off.

Of course they should. As much as I like them, I’d much prefer that they gain more experience before running for president. Plus they’re needed where they are.

Hey, as a Democrat, I say let them wait for a while.

Have a late start to the campaign, then have a nasty, divisive primary and leave your candidate no time to recover and unite the party for the general.

Sounds like a good plan to me!

Are Kristol and Ingraham feeling desperate if Jeb, Christi, and Ryan don’t run? Don’t feel the most likely contenders can win at this point?

Hey Matty, Paul Ryan has WAY more experience right now then BO did when he ran. He would absolutely demolish him in a debate.

Tell us again when Pau Ryan was president.

No, you were posting as “I support Moose Boogers from my double wide’s porch”

What happened?

Then why are Kristol and Ingraham acting like they want or needs others to run against Obama than those who looked poised to run.

Those two are real conservatives, yet they dont seem happy with who is coming down the pipe line.

Because they, the gNOpigs, have nothing.

And they are desperate trying to find a little gNOpig who could offer something, anything.

Even the Bush clan is doomed, as the inevitable comparisons will come up.

Imagine that question “Jeb, how can you tell us you won’t fck up as your dad and your brother did?”

- “I am Jeb Bush. And I am running on my good name”

Why not Kristol/Ingraham 2012? The time is now, Bill.

I’d say they at least have a shot, unlike the other two.

More experience on WHAT exactly? LOL. Dude was a backbencher REPRESENTATIVE in the US House until last month. Obama was a US Senator and sat on an influential committee. Plus, this is irrelevant now. They are not running against Obama of 2008. They are running against the INCUMBENT President Obama. That bullshit “inexperience” canard is redundant. Obama will be the most experienced of the candidates and ambivalent voters will err on the devil they know than the angel they don’t. Even Mike Pence and John Thune read the tea leaves. Huckster has even said only political neophytes and clueless drones would undermine the difficulty in upsetting Obama. Karl Rove has called Obama the “favorite” for 2012. You teabaggers(TM) are doomed. May as well put up little T-Paw as the 2012 sacrificial lamb and see his his ass handed to him by the communist Muslim by winning T-Paw’s own state. LOL.

Why is there suddenly such a buzz for a republican to announce? Everyone tired of pissing on Palin?

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Like most people, Kristol and Ingraham don’t understand.

Get exhaustive investigations of Obama launched now or be fooled again by Obama.

Subpoena of his original birth certificate and DNA will prove he’s Polynesian Caucasian, not African American. This has been explained to Ingraham and many others, who stare like deer in the headlights of an oncoming car.

Exposing the hoax from Dreams from my Father will focus investigations on the real eligibility issue, his loss of U.S. citizenship, and reduce the political threat from those who were duped into believing he’s African American.

Exhaustive investigations will show Obama lost U.S. citizenship by becoming an Indonesian citizen. Waiting for the 2012 primaries will leave to little time to investigate. Proof he was born in the U.S. to two U.S. citizens, which he can produce (Stanley Ann and Obama the Luo adopted the bastard as an accommodation to his father) raises a presumption of constitutional eligibility that can be rebutted, but only through long official investigations. August of 2012 leaves too little time. The Obama cabal will be able to turn Bush v. Gore against Barry’s opponents – not enough time to do what’s necessary.

What America needs are investigations now to adduce evidence for impeachment, rescission for fraud of appointments of electors pledged to Barry, and prosecution of election fraud and other crimes. This is patent, but not called for by the degenerate elite who fancy themselves so flaming smart.

Failure might result in a dictatorship that will cost us a Republic.

Further to my earlier comment about the need to find the truth about Obama by official investigations, see the piece by Dr. Charles E. Rice, Professor Emeritus at the Law School of Notre Dame University (which, unlike Harvard Law School has not lost the mandate of heaven or the Lord’s blessing): http://thesteadydrip.blogspot.com/2011/03/is-he-or-isnt-he-american-citizen.html.

But Dr. Rice calls for investigation in a way that is ever so much more kultched and refoyned. Besides, he is able to sign it “Dr. Charles E. Rice, Professor Emeritus at the Law School of Notre Dame University”. If I had tried that, like Sam Clemens’s joke on his old friend William Dean Howells, I would have been immediately caught out.

Seriously, read Dr. Rice’s excellent message and join the hue and cry to inform the People by U.S. House Oversight Committee investigation of Obama’s eligibility. Even the minority ranking member of that committee, Hon. Elijah Cummings of Maryland, calls for its resources to be used to inform and educate the People. And Dr. Rice quotes the great Democratic President Woodrow Wilson: “The informing function of Congress should be preferred even to its legislative function.” (Forgive the irony. Wilson’s college chum wrote “The Birth of Nations” a rabidly racist work, and Wilson as President required black members of the Armed Forces not be armed, and serve in racially segregated units, which remained the case until my late neighbor Harry S. Truman integrated the American Armed Forces by executive order. To carry the irony further, Elijah Cummings can prove he is both African and American, which the man he’s trying to protect against the truth can not.)

Try the truth dug out by official investigations with the power to compel testimony and subpoena and seize documents and things. Turn the RINO chairman of House Oversight, who refuses even to subpoena Barry’s original birth certificate, around, away from the darkness to the light. What’s Obama got on him, anyway? Personal peccadilloes? Billions in federal projects that would benefit the RINOs’ constituents, fund-raisers and contributors if and when Barry allows it? What meretricious motives keep the RINOs from investigating the possible ineligibility of Barry the bastard and other possible high crimes and misdemeanors?

Have we finally become so corrupt and degenerate that we can not govern ourselves by the greatest and best of all constitutions?
