I just saw a blog which nominates Tom DeLay for President. Why? Because he stands up to liberals and Democrats.
. . . and?
Is that what we have sunk to? We laugh at the Democrats for having no focus, no plans, and no vision, and here we are choosing a leader solely because he stands up to such people.
We do not need a pro-Republican leader. We need a Republican Pro.
We need someone with skills that go beyond the gathering of votes. We need someone with vision.
In the whole of the party, can't we find ONE statesman?
Oh, and please don't mention Condi.
She's up north in Canada, telling them that despite the government's recanting the NAFTA ruling regarding the softwood issue, America's word is "as good as gold".
Surprisingly enough, the Canadians aren't buying it - at a ratio of 90-10 against, according to one poll.

You're right. We need Republicans that aren't just 'anti-Democrat.'
I am a Democrat and I think you are right. We as a country don't need our political parties supporting candidates just because they are willing to "stand up" to the opposite party. I see too much rhetoric on both the left and right saying that the other "controls the media" and the other has "all the power." Guess what? despite all best intentions those with the most money still have the most power, unless the grassroots organizes under one banner they believe stringly in. So it comes down to money vs. popular support. Right now neither has much popular support which means both sides are struggling. America needs a strong voice and fair and honest leadership, not more rhetoric about how the "other side" is ruining this country. Although I do believe the current administration is ruining this country...;]
A. Solzhenitsyn said in his famous address at Harvard that a sign of a falling democracy was a lack of great statesmen.
We have not had a great statesman for a long time.
Canada never liked us much anyway, I really don't think softwood is that much of an issue, in the grand scheme of things.
