In recent years, Carter, Raygun, Clinton and W have been presidents who were first governors. Carter is generally considered to have a failed presidency, Raygun’s presidency was mixed, Clinton left on a very high note and W left as a dismal failure. Are we so sure governors are our best bet.

but conservatives would say that Obama was never a governor but yet is having problems running the country (albeit the party of no giving Obama the most problems)

To the grassroots, the best bet is Ron Paul. Here’s a clip of CNN over the weekend admitting a media conspiracy to ignore the man who lost by 9/10′s of a percent in the straw poll. Why aren’t you reporting this Mediaite? http://www.infowars.com/establishment-media-admits-conspiracy-to-ignore-ron-paul/

That’s a great article and true to Politics as usual. Republican Old Guard just will not except Ron Paul because he does not back the War Machines.. hates the FED and the IRS…. Bachmann will play ball.. Perry will play ball.. Washington will remain broke..  Media investors don’t want change so they ignore him…

I think the difference is that Rick Perry can stand on his record and doesn’t need work the talking points, because he’s right in there. 

loesch’s argument are (as always) really weak

she’s not too bright

If Perry wants to whip out the “I inherited an economy from George Bush, too.” talking point, I’ll enjoy that.

Dana Loesch = a dimbulb moron.

But she’s a total milf.

Perry’s biggest flaw is that he supported funding for the Texas portion of the NAFTA Superhighway that was(is?) to run from Mexico to Canada across the middle of the USA. Tea Party and moderate Republicans will hate this, Globalist establishment CEOs will love it.

she’s like 33 years old, dude

but whatever….

And to think, it was a Republican who warned us about the Military Industrial complex.

I agree Darladoon…I can’t watch this woman speak, she is so anxious to get her rehearsed talking points in, before she forgets them, she screeches and is very rude…A little to hyper to be considered serious…

While as you claim the “party of no” is giving Obama the most problems, in reality Obama is giving himself the most problems.  He was a do-nothing senator in Illinois, a do-nothing senator while in Congress for less than 2 years, and he campaigned on a platform of “hope and change”.  Well his “hope” is now he “hopes” that he will get re-elected since his polls are now down below 40 percent.  His change is not what the majority of America wanted.  Unemployment is way up, the debt has tripled since he took office, and probably worst of all, instead of trying to beef up America, he went on a world tour where he bowed down to foreign kings/dictators.  He slammed America every chance he got on foreign land, he shoved healthcare legislation down the throats of the American voter, who by the way are majorly against it. 

Obama’s “hope and change” has turned into “we hope we can change President’s in 2012″.

CNN reports on the “race betwen Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry.”

Once again I point out — you can tell which candidate the liberal media fears by the great lengths they go to avoid mentioning his name.  Especially so after sending Democrat plants to disrupt his rally backfired on them.

While Dana Loesch isn’t saying anything too different than most of the better political analysts, she presents herself pretty well as someone who has a handle on the campaigns.
I’ve heard a couple of others explain about governors being the best bet as well.

Then I guess he’s “pragmatic centrist” right?  Oh, wait, that’s the character 0bama is playing this cycle.

She made a lot more sense than did the President in his Townhall meeting in MN today..  Obama repeated his same old small ball ideas to try and solve major league problems.

You give Carter much more credit than he deserves.

She’s correct, statistically, about governors tending to get into the seat rather than representatives, but I think Gov. Perry’s playing too strong for the religious right. Rep. Bachmann is catering as well, but not as overtly.

Not knocking the RR (though I’m politically opposite), but he comes off as a TV evangelist- trying to hard, as they say. I can’t see establishment Republicans letting him win in the primary.

I’m still surprised Pawlenty bailed out so early… I thought he had a chance of pulling a Sen. McCain (seriously, who didn’t think his campaign was dead for a while there?) but it’s just waaaay too early to forecast the Republican ticket.

One thing I’m curious about is the dynamic between Rep. Bachmann and Palin (should she enter the fray)… I can’t see them competing against each other (without dismantling each other one way or the other for the win via debates/ads/media pontification), while at the same time I can’t see either of them willing to accept VP… though I don’t vote Republican on national elections, I can’t see Michele willing to run as VP when she has tons of experience as an elected official as well as a legal background, while Palin is fundamentally a PR person… extremely limited government experience, and not nearly as much knowledge as it applies to Fed policy, foreign or domestic. having said that, (imho) Palin would find running for veep a second time insulting with all of the “maybe running for top spot” rumor in the air.

Question for conservatives… for a strong female with lots of experience, is there an issue with Kay Bailey Hutchison? Asking because I sincerely don’t know how she’s thought of among Republican/conservatives. Cheers.

True, but he also backed off when the constituency complained about it.  He listened, unlike others who ignore and “ram it down our throats” as they say

Oh, like you’re one to talk! I’ve never a post from you which amounted to more than 10 words. Dana Loesch could run intellectual circles around you!

That’s a flaw to be sure, and it illustrates the difficulty one faces when he tries to be all things to all people.

The biggest flaw, however? I’m not sure I agree. The ill-conceived property tax reforms which didn’t result in any appreciable savings to property owners but the lost revenue from which has decimated our schools in Texas.

The US $25 Billion deficit itself.

The number of uninsured children in Texas.

All seem to me to be bigger flaws.

That’s not really how it happened, however, was it? TxDOT lost a couple of key Perry members, one in a scandal, one by death and the project ended. Tollbooth’s only action was to whine for a couple of months afterwards.

You’ll remember this was remarkably similar to Tollbooth’s plan to designate existing highways tollroads. TxDOT killed that, too. 

Thanks for the link, I’ve wondered why Ron Paul does’nt get more attention.  Clearly, there is a reason and I’ll take in into account.

Ron Paul beats Rick Perry among the GOP in Texas.

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2011/07/ron-paul-beats-gov-rick-perry-and-all-others-in-texas-gop-poll.html

The media is failing once again..

Poll after poll now shows Ron Paul to be a top-tier candidate, 

And finished behind Bachman by 153 votes.  Yet she’s electable and Ron Paul isnt?

It’s a joke.

They call themselves teabaggers, that’s funny

I also noticed the bogus report about Bachmann’s win by a Fox News reporter on Saturday night.
 
Harris Faulkner who is currently the anchor of “FOX Report Weekend” said, “Michele Bachmann won the lion’s share in the Ames Straw Poll.”
 
When did winning by less than 1% become the lion’s share? It’s no wonder so many Ron Paul supporters are upset with Fox News.

Do you compare every person with the cartoon of Obama who exists only in your and Laura Ingraham’s head?

Dana Loesch’s one qualifier for speaking for anything is ability to not look as ugly as me or  Andrew Breitbart look on TV.  She IS a dimbulb

Her talk show is on here after Rush.  I never thought I would consider Rush lucid or cogent until i heard this chattering, talking point machine.

And, this insight she’s peddling?  Makes no sense.  America hadn’t elected a Senator to the White House since 1960 before last election.  Where one originates is not a deciding factor in who should be President.  Hell, Lincoln’s only Federal gig was a House member and he was only the best President ever
